ABSTRACT:
A reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer includes first and second input terminals, first and second output terminals, an optical device and a switching device. The first input terminal receives a multi-wavelength optical signal including a to-be-dropped optical signal. The second input terminal receives a to-be-added optical signal having a wavelength that is the same as that of the to-be-dropped optical signal. The optical device has a reflective region and a filter region, and includes a first reflector and a filter. The filter is disposed in the filter region to separate the to-be-dropped optical signal from the multi-wavelength optical signal. The switching device switches the multi-wavelength optical signal and the to-be-added optical signal to the reflective region or the filter region.
