Abstract :
The authors present a simple, low-loss wavelength add-drop multiplexer and evaluate its implications and performance in a 4×2.5 Gbit/s system, demonstrating for the first time four-channel WDM transmission with wavelength routing over an installed optically amplified submarine cable system
