Abstract
ROADM (reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers) subsystems can be implemented using a variety of architectures and technologies, each with their own trade-offs in performance and functionality. This paper describes the available technology options, and corresponding subsystem features, while highlighting the key advantages and implementation challenges associated with each.
