Abstract
Add-drop multiplexers are key components for enabling wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical transmissions. Different solutions using both planar and fiber geometries have been proposed in the literature. The traditional configuration using a fiber Bragg grating between two optical circulators is an efficient but costly device and introduces undesirable insertion losses.
