OADM: Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer
Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (OADM) is an optical multiplexing device used in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) systems for mixing and routing different channels of light into or out of a single mode fiber. It has the capability of adding one or more new wavelength channels to an existing muli-wavelength WDM signal, or removing (dropping) one or more channels, routing those signals to another network path.
