Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer(OADM) is one of the key devices of Wavelength Division Multiplexing(WDM) optical networks.This paper presents a novel OADM based on Fiber Bragg Grating(FBG) and describes the principle of its multiplexing/demultiplexing.The device has the advantages of low insertion loss
high flexibility
low crosstalk and so on.To verify its structural design and theoretical analysis
we simulate this new structure of OADM with OptiSystem software.The simulation results show that the side mode suppression ratio of the drop wavelength is up to 20dB
and the new structure has good performance and flexibility.
