Abstract
We demonstrate novel large-scale and cost-effective ROADM architecture exploiting the subsystem-modular express switches and tailored transponder banks for add/drop functionality. Simulations show that the proposed ROADM offers virtual-C/D/C performance. Good transmission characteristics are experimentally confirmed.
