The OADM based on DWDM technology is moving the telecommunications industry significantly closer to the development of optical networks. The OADM can be placed between two end terminals along any route and be substituted for an optical amplifier. Commercially available OADMs allow carriers to drop and/or add up to multi channels between DWDM terminals. By deploying an OADM instead of an optical amplifier, service providers can gain flexibility to distribute revenue–generating traffic and reduce costs associated with deploying end terminals at low traffic areas along a route. The OADM is especially well-suited for meshed or branched network configurations, as well as for ring architectures used to enhance survivability. Moreover, An optical add/drop multiplexer with tunable bandwidth offers several potential advantages, including optical performance monitoring and dynamic bandwidth allocation. This paper has proposed OADM for high transmission bit rates and products in next generation optical communication networks based on dense wavelength division multiplexing for different fiber link lengths at room temperature for best performance efficiency.
