Inhalt:
We examine how channels routed by Wavelength Selective Switches (WSS) are affected by higher Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) from WSS near the edges of channel spectral slots. We find non-negligible impact on the Signal-to-Noise Ratio for steep PDL increase modeled by an inverse filtering function.
