A WDM ring configuration having reduced adjacent channel cross-talk is disclosed. In the WDM ring, an add/drop element having a filter for selecting an optical signal at a desired wavelength is spaced from another add/drop element having a filter adding an optical signal at an adjacent wavelength within a channel plan by at least one add/drop element that adds/drops an optical signal at a wavelength which is not next to either the optical signal at the desired wavelength or the adjacent wavelength. |
