Optoplex's Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) module, also known as Tunable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (TOADM), is based on a proprietary micro-optics and micro-actuator design, athermal packaging technology, and state-of-the-art thin-film coating. This is achieved through the use of a wavelength. To meet these demands, we propose and demonstrate a versatile multi-channel reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) that utilizes a crossbar optical switching network. The organizations that act first will define the competitive landscape.
