Effective Verification of Wavelength Routing Function by Wavelength Transfer Matrix Method

The wavelength transfer matrix is a powerful approach to design and verify the wavelength routing needed for complicated wavelength routing networks. This paper first describes the wavelength transfer matrix, the basic form and some extensions. The WDM PON networks proposed to date are analyzed in terms of wavelength by using the wavelength transfer matrix. The results show the method is effective and practical for designing complicated networks.
