Novel full-cycle-coupler-based optical add-drop multiplexer and performance characteristics at 40-Gb/s WDM Networks

A novel configuration of an interferometric device, based on a full-cycle full (100%) coupler structure, loaded with a Bragg grating symmetrically placed into the uniform coupler waist, is proposed for use as an optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) with simultaneously optimized add and drop actions....
