Popis: We summarize our research work on the design and development of an add-drop multiplexer for spectrally overlapping OFDM signals. The standard node functions of sub-channel drop, extraction and insertion were obtained whilst the signals remained fully in the optical domain. Numerical simulations have been carried out to identify the main sources of degradation and to benchmark the architectural performance against critical design parameters, whereas the experimental demonstration of the scheme has been achieved for both single quadrature and dual quadrature signals. The reported scheme enables a fully flexible node compatible with future terabit per second super-channel transmission.
