Abstract
In this paper, we describe a novel Reconfigurable MicroPhotonic Add/Drop Multiplexer (RMPADM) using a reconfigurable Opto-VLSI processor to simultaneously steer many WDM channels hence accomplishing add/drop multiplexing. A 4-WDM-channel RMPADM structure is experimentally demonstrated. Results show that single and/or multiple add/drop multiplexing with less than -20 dB crosstalk is feasible.
