Abstract
We demonstrate the feasibility of arrayed optical amplifiers sharing a single pump laser to realize full-add/drop C/D/C-less ROADM nodes. Experimental results show that the arrayed optical amplifiers corresponded properly to the wavelength path reconfigurations by adjusting the splitting ratio of the splitter between the pump laser and eight EDFAs.
