ROADMs and Wavelength Management

Lumentum’s wavelength management portfolio powers the world’s most flexible and scalable optical transport networks. The TrueFlex® wavelength selective switch (WSS) family, optical channel monitors (OCMs), and integrated ROADM subsystems enable dynamic, colorless, directionless, and contentionless (CDC) architectures that maximize spectral utilization and simplify network reconfiguration. Built on Lumentum’s high-performance LCOS platform, these solutions deliver low insertion loss, fast switching, and exceptional reliability across C, L, and emerging C+L multi-rail implementations. Route-and-select ROADM configurations improve add/drop efficiency and express-path isolation while supporting higher-order modulation formats and guardband-free superchannels. 

TrueFlex modules and ROADM-on-a-Blade platforms also integrate switching, amplification, and monitoring into compact, power-efficient designs, delivering substantial space and energy savings. Customizable optical, mechanical, and OAM features give network equipment manufacturers the flexibility to optimize performance, spectral efficiency, and total system cost.
