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 1):
An optical fiber network architecture comprising:\n a start node and an end node; one or more branch node(s); a plurality of optical fiber spans, optically connecting the start node, the end node, and the one or more branch node(s); wherein each span terminates at a junction point, each junction point including a pair of diplexers that separate signal and pump, propagate both in different paths, and re-combine them before introduction to a subsequent, next span.
