A novel single-fiber bidirectional optical add/drop multiplexer for distribution networks

A novel single-fiber bi-directional optical add/drop multiplexer is proposed for wavelength division multiplexing distribution networks. It has the advantages of low insertion loss, low cost, and providing protection function passively to the distribution ring network.
