Novel broadband reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer employing custom fiber arrays and Opto-VLSI processors

A reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) structure based on using a custom-made fiber array and an Opto-VLSI processor is proposed and demonstrated. The fiber array consists of N pairs of angled fibers corresponding to N channels, each of which can independently perform add, drop, and t...
