Publication number: 20030210909Abstract: A frequency division multiplexing (FDM) node used in optical communications networks provides add-drop multiplexing (ADM) functionality between optical high-speed channels and electrical low-speed channels. The FDM node includes a high-speed system and an ADM crosspoint. The high-speed system converts between an optical high-speed channel and its constituent electrical low-speed channels through the use of frequency division multiplexing and preferably also QAM modulation. The ADM crosspoint couples incoming low-speed channels to outgoing low-speed channels, thus implementing the ADM functionality for the FDM node.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2003Publication date: November 13, 2003Inventors: Michael W. Rowan, David B. Upham, Augustus Elmer, Laurence J. Newell, David A. Pechner, Abraham Kou, James F. Coward, Norman L. Swenson, Minnie Ho, Peter H. Chang, Ting K. Yee, Stuart E. Wilson
