• Abstract : Reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs), which enable dynamic and flexible node-to-node connection via wavelength paths, are key components in metro ring network nodes. We have proposed and demonstrated a data-granularity-flexible ROADM node that combines a wavelength-tunable filter and an optical packet ADM (PADM). In this report, we demonstrate the first field trial of the data-granularity-flexible ROADM network with wavelengthand packet-selective switch using a novel concurrent generation technique of address-reconfigurable optical code labels and payload data. Bit error rates (BERs) of less than 1012 for all 16-wavelength channels are obtained over 90 km transmission at 10 Gbps.
