Abstract
Recently, interest has been growing in frequency-division-multiplexed (FDM) ring networks that use optical add-drop multiplexers (ADMs) at each node to add and remove optical signals of a particular wavelength to and from the. many wavelength channels flowing through the ring fiber network.1 Such networks can be expected to achieve efficient use of the fiber bandwidth while minimizing the amount of fiber installation required in order to interconnect all the nodes in the network.
