We report a hierarchical optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) network that supports 10-, 40-, and 160-Gb/s data rates, with the same bandwidth efficiency. The data rates can be upgraded without hardware modification in the OADM. This hierarchical OADM network is equipped with high capacity (1.6 Tb/s) for traffic growth, while providing different granularities; for diverse bandwidth requirements as fine as 12.5 GHz in optical domain. We investigate the transmission penalty through the waveband OADMs, and compare the performance between all-through traffic and add-drop traffic of neighboring wavebands at 40-Gb/s rate.
