Abstract:
The present disclosure describes a reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer including a wavelength selective switch configured to filter wavelengths of an optical signal; and an optical equalizer, coupled to the wavelength selective switch, configured to equalize the optical signal to mitigate optical filtering effects caused by the wavelength selective switch.

Claim (Index 8):
A reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer comprising:\n a first wavelength selective switch having an input; and an optical equalizer, coupled to the input of the first wavelength selective switch, to equalize a spectral shape of a signal of each channel of an optical signal by adjusting a frequency strength of each channel based on optical filtering effects caused by the first wavelength selective switch to mitigate the optical filtering effects and reduce noise degradation of the optical equalizer.
