7.2.1 Spectral measurements<br />

The pigtailed OADM was measured using an EDFA ASE broadband source and an<br />

OSA with a resolution of 0.1 nm. For the responses shown in Figure 7.9 the EDFA<br />

ASE was connected to the IIn port of the OADM. The OSA was connected to the IOut<br />

port. In this configuration the OADM acts as a de-multiplexer by dropping the<br />

channels present on IIn to the drop ports IDrop1-IDrop4. These dropped channels are<br />

visible as dips in the IOut port. The two different responses that are shown in the figure<br />

were created by tuning the resonators so that 1) they either all had the same resonance<br />

wavelength, or 2) that the resonance wavelengths of the individual resonators were all<br />

different.<br />
