Foreword
Traditional WDM was always considered as

transparent tunnel for clients, it could only provide
static optical channel path and few protection
schemes.
With optical layer grooming technology, NG WDM

can provide dynamic optical channel path and
relative protection and rerouting functions.

MR2
Serial OADM adopts the Thin Film Filter such as MR2 boards.
MR2 is used to add/drop 2 wavelengths in the eastward/ westward

direction.
When more than two wavelengths are to be added/dropped, we can

cascade more MR2 boards or MR4/MR8 boards.

Existing Problems on FOADM
Wavelengths distribution in FOADM is fixed physically, it is

not flexible.
The wavelength services can not be activated in time.
Maintenance personnel need to perform the on-site

commissioning for capacity expansion at each node.
In case of wavelength adjustment, the maintenance

personnel need to perform on-site interference.
The power budget will be changed by node expansion and

wavelength adjustment.
We need a solution! -------ROADM

ROADM Introduction
ROADM means re-configurable OADM. Both the pass-through

and the added/dropped wavelengths are re-configurable.
The full meaning of ROADM is any wavelength can be

added/dropped to/from any ports.
ROADM can solve the problems with physical budget of power,

noise and dispersion.
The core components of the current ROADM are:

Planar Light Circuit (PLC), Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS).

WSS (Taking WSD9 as example):
Chromatic optical signal is de-multiplexed to monochromatic optical

signals.
VOAs adjust the power of each monochromatic optical signal.
Then guide each of the monochromatic signals to different optical

multiplexer by
controlling the 1 x N (that is N=9 in the figure)
optical switch array.
