Procedure
• Perform a peak search within the range of parameter Test_Band/2 while centering on
the reference wavelength
λ
i of each channel and obtain the peak level (LP’’i).
• Perform a bottom search within the range of parameter Test_Band/2 while centering
on the point (
λ
i-
λ
SP) that is obtained by subtracting the parameter SPACING from the
reference wavelength
λ
i of each channel. Then, obtain the bottom level (LPLi).
• Perform the bottom search within the range of parameter Test_Band/2 while centering
on the point (
λ
i+
λ
SP) that is obtained by subtracting the parameter SPACING from the
reference wavelength
λ
i of each channel. Then, obtain the bottom level (LPRi).
• Use the values obtained in the above procedures to obtain the left and right cross
talks (XTLi, XTRi) of each channel from the following equations:
XTLi=LP’’i−LPLi
XTRi=LP’’i−LPRi
