Optical Add Drop Multiplexer

Optoplex Corporation is located in Fremont, California and designs and manufactures reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) modules. The 3-port ROADM device directs a selected channel from the input port to the drop port and remaining channels to the express port. Key features include athermal design, wide tuning range covering C-band or L-band, low insertion loss, and high channel isolation. Applications include dynamically reconfiguring channels and wavelengths in DWDM systems. The standard product has specifications such as maximum 2.8 dB drop channel insertion loss and over 25 dB adjacent channel isolation.

Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop


Multiplexer
Optoplexs Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) module, also known as
Tunable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (TOADM), is based on a proprietary micro-optics and microactuator design, athermal packaging technology, and state-of-the-art thin-film coating. When receiving a
stream of optical signals of a plurality of wavelengths from the Input-Port (IN), this 3-port ROADM
device directs a selected channel to the Drop-Port (ADD/DROP) and the remaining channels to the
Express-Port (EXP), as depicted in the figure below. This tunable feature can also be used for adding a
channel, when the device is used in reverse. Cascading two ROADM modules, simultaneous add and
drop functions can be achieved. Each single ROADM device is optimized to cover either C- or L-band
wavelengths. The standard 100- or 200-GHz channel spacing ROADM products allow for single-channel
drop. Customized banded-channel drop ROADMs are available upon request.
