Abstract:
A new optical fiber supervision architecture based on Multi-Wavelength Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) and hybrid active/passive fiber-optic cross-connect system (FOCS) using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) multiplexer-demultiplexers is reported. The results of our study show that up to 60% cost reduction and 50% energy savings can be obtained using a 4 wavelengths OTDR-based supervision system. Experimental validation of the architecture is also reported.
