摘要：This paper presents a computational investigation of OXADM device for measuring power penalty. The OXADM are located in the nodes, which have more than two switching directions in ring networks. The function of OXADM is to flexibly switch the wavelengths among the different input and output ports. Because of the OXADM’s imperfect performance, the insertion loss and crosstalk are induced in the system. This paper highlights the verification of analytical modeling method which is used to analyze the OXADM structure in crosstalk or leakage power that leads to the power penalty. The power penalty depends on few parameters but our investigation here focused on a number of operating wavelengths input and output ports, ratio of optical power as well as, the Q factor.The variation of this parameters will affect the amount of the desired power penalty.
