Abstract

In this paper a design for an equalized holographic ROADM (Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer) is done. This device can address several wavelengths at the input to different output fibers, according to the holograms stored in a SLM (Spatial Light Modulator), where all the outputs are equalized in power. All combinations of the input wavelengths are possible at the different output fibers. These type of ROADMs are designed for application in CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) networks, where the distance between the different wavelength allow the use of DML (Direct Modulation Lasers) without cooling, reducing the cost and the tolerances of the network components. Application in METRO networks and its interconnection with some PON (Passive Optical Network), as a part of the access to the subscriber, is reviewed.
