Next-Generation ROADM Architecture and Technologies

Article Preview

Abstract:

The main architecture of the next generation ROADM has its "colorless"," Directionless" and "Contentionless" characteristics. The Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) module technology includes the microelectromechanical-systems (MEMs), Planar lightwave circuit (PLC) and liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) based technology.
