  • Working principle of WSS optical module

    Working principle of WSS optical module

    A WSS comprises a switching array that operates on light that has been dispersed in wavelength without the requirement that the dispersed light be physically demultiplexed into separate ports. This is termed a 'disperse and switch' configuration. Wavelength selective switching components are used in WDM optical communications networks to route (switch) signals between optical fibres on a per-wavelength basis. Unlike traditional fixed filters or static OADMs, a WSS allows remote. In optical communication, WSS refers to a wavelength selective switch (Wavelength Selective Switch).
