A design for an equalized holographic ROADM (Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer) is presented. 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. Different technologies have been proposed for the implementation of ROADMs [2]. Each one of them has its own advantages and drawbacks. The main characteristic of holographic ROADMs, where the active element of the SLM is a Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal (FLC) with a low switching time (less than 100 ¿s) that allows a real time operation, is the easy way of changing the tuning and power level of the signal at the output fibers by the dynamic implementation of different holograms on the SLM according to the requirements of the network management. | |
