摘要
The present invention provides an optically-amplified bidirectional optical adddrop multiplexer for a bidirectional WDM optical communication system including two counterpropagating WDM optical signals. Each counterpropagating WDM signal enters the bidirectional add-drop multiplexer and is placed on an optical path, which does not include the other WDM optical signal. Each WDM optical signal may be amplified and have one or more optical channels added to or dropped from the respective signal. In an exemplary embodiment, one of the bidirectional WDM signals includes optical channels located in the C-band of an EDFA while the other bidirectional WDM signal includes optical channels located in the L-band of and EDFA. In this manner, an optical amplifier particularly selected for channels in a particular gain region may separately amplify each the separated bidirectional WDM signals. Each counterpropagating WDM signal exits the bidirectional add-drop multiplexed and rejoins the bidirectional optical waveguide.
