Abstract
An efficient reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer ring connecting node architecture is proposed that utilizes waveband routing; it achieves a small footprint and excellent cost-effectiveness. The key component devices are implemented using planar lightwave circuit technologies and their performances are verified in experiments.
