Analysis of Influence of OADM Performance in Optical Networks on Zero-dB-bandwidth, Cutoff bandwidth and Cutoff magnitude

Abstract

OADM is an important component of optical network, which has important influences on network structure and transmission mode. VPI is a very powerful professional optical communication simulation software currently, but it takes a certain amount of time to master due to its full English interface and the complex parameter setting. In this paper, experiments are designed starting from the basic performance of OADM, based on the VPI professional simulation software, from Zero-dB-bandwidth, Cutoff bandwidth and Cutoff magnitude to study its performance for the next step research, providing the necessary reference for beginners and helping them grasp the VPI quickly.
