摘要
A client-configurable optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) is demonstrated using a micromachined 8 x 6 matrix switch. The matrix switch can he configured to add/drop any of the eight input channels from/to any of the sig add/drop ports, For the switching fabric, the insertion loss is 2 similar to 3 dB for the dropped channels and 8 similar to 9 dB fur the added channels by using the backsides of the micromirror switches, The switching extinction ratio is over 40 dB, the crosstalk between channels is less than -40 dB, and they are equipment-limited in this experiment.
