Abstract :
We propose a simple node architecture that is used to concatenate two ROADM rings. The proposed architecture employs variable filters that can effectively handle classified node input signals to realize the desired routing operations. Finally, we developed a prototype system and performed transmission experiments. The technical feasibility has been confirmes.
