A dynamic programmable optical add/drop module for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed networking systems is presented. The optical add/drop module can be a drop module, an add module, or an add/drop module. Further, the optical add/drop module includes semiconductor optical amplifiers, allowing for programmability. Optical add/drop modules can selectively drop light beams of selected wavelengths. Furthermore, the optical add module can be programmed through semiconductor optical amplifiers to add data onto specific wavelengths. The optical add/drop module with semiconductor optical amplifiers has a fast switching speed and is highly versatile. |
