    Upgraded version of reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer for railway communication

    OXC (optical cross-connect) is an evolved version of ROADM (Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer). The X first wavelength selective switches correspond to W directions. As the core switching unit of the optical network, the scalability and economic efficiency of the optical cross-connect (OXC) not only determine the flexibility of the network topology, but. In this paper, a detailed comparison is made between the design of a reconfigurable add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) based on an integrated circuit (PIC) and the state-of-the-art ROADM devices.
