title = "Bidirectional WDM Self-Healing Ring Network Based on Simple Bidirectional Add/Drop Amplifier Modules",
abstract = "We have demonstrated a cost-effective bidirectional WDM SHR network using BADA modules. The restoration time was measured to be less than 2 ms. The bandpass filters within the BADA modules are proved to be very effective in reducing the RIN caused by Rayleigh backscattering and optical reflections. In fact, there was no observable degradation in the receiver sensitivity caused by RIN. Thus, the scalability of the proposed network would be limited by the accumulation of ASE. From these results, we have estimated that this network could accommodate about 14 nodes when the node spacing is 80 km.",
