A simple all‐optical add‐drop multiplexer scheme is presented by utilizing cross gain modulation (XGM) and four‐wave mixing (FWM) effects in a single semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). When the synchronized data stream and control signal is launched into a SOA, FWM generates the dropped channel, while XGM is used to clean the corresponding bit slots for adding new data. This function is demonstrated at 10 Gbit/s by simulation and experiment. Both of them show good performance. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
