Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and structures for passive optical add/drop multiplexing (POADM) architectures that remove the prior art requirement of an optical amplifier (i.e., repeater-less) at the POADM nodes.

Claim (Index 11):
An optical fiber network architecture including a plurality of passive optical add/drop nodes optically interconnected, said nodes configured to add and drop WDM channels simultaneously via passive coupling, said nodes including optical transponders for add and drop channels that are optically connected to a main fiber trunk of the network by distribution fibers.
