Design of LCoS-Based Twin 1×40 Wavelength Selective Switch

Wavelength selective switch (WSS) is the crucial component in the reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM),which plays a pivotal role in the next-generation all-optical networks. We present a compact architecture of twin 1×40 liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS)-based WSS,which can be regarded as a 4f system in the wavelength direction and a 2f system in the switching direction. It is designed with theoretical analysis and simulation investigation. Polarization multiplexing is employed for two sources of twin WSS by polarization con-version before the common optical path. The WSS system attains a coupling efficacy exceeding 96% for 90% of the ports through simulation optimization. The 3 dB bandwidth can be achieved by more than 44 GHz at a 50 GHz grid for all 120 channels at all deflection ports. This work establishes a solid foundation for developing high-performance WSS with larger port counts.
