Abstract :
A configurable optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) based on fibre Bragg gratings is reported. Dynamical selection of the add-drop or pass-through functionality is realised according to the control of an optical switch. OADM performances measurements in a 70 km, 3×2.5 Gb/s channel WDM network are reported
