Multihop Signal Transmission Experiments Employing PLC-Based Hierarchical Optical Cross-Connect System

The signal transmission characteristics of the first practical hierarchical optical cross-connect with a terabit-scale throughput are clarified experimentally employing 10-Gb/s wavelength-division-multiplexed signals. The observed power penalty was less than 0.9 dB after a 4-hop signal transmission.
