In this paper, we present the optical elements needed for the fabrication of a wavelength selective silicon photonic integrated switching matrix. We focus on the device proposed in the European project IRIS, which is a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transponder aggregator. It implements a colourless, directionless, and contentionless reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) node for metro transport networks. The building blocks are described as well as the system specifications and the system architecture.

Abstract
In this paper, we present the optical elements needed for the fabrication of a wavelength selective silicon photonic integrated switching matrix. We focus on the device proposed in the European project IRIS, which is a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transponder aggregator. It implements a colourless, directionless, and contentionless reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) node for metro transport networks. The building blocks are described as well as the system specifications and the system architecture.File in questo prodotto:
