In this letter, we propose a mean square error (MSE) strategy to control a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) optical equalizer. We show by simulation that MSE is a suitable criterion to exploit the PLC programmability for realizing an adaptive optical equalizer. When controlled through the MSE criterion, a PLC equalizer for chromatic dispersion compensation performs better than with other control strategies and turns out to be effective even with few component elements.

Abstract
In this letter, we propose a mean square error (MSE) strategy to control a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) optical equalizer. We show by simulation that MSE is a suitable criterion to exploit the PLC programmability for realizing an adaptive optical equalizer. When controlled through the MSE criterion, a PLC equalizer for chromatic dispersion compensation performs better than with other control strategies and turns out to be effective even with few component elements.File in questo prodotto:
