For dealing with the problem of low efficiency and high maintenance cost when multi-point breakdown or change occurs in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) network with high speed and large capacity, the component of Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) was used to construct a flexible network. Firstly, the 5-node network configuration model was provided. Then, the relation between loss and transmission length was investigated when optical network was composed of ROADM under dynamic conditions. The design flow of network transmission length was proposed. Next, a 5-node bi-directional fiber ring experiment network was constructed, and the optical loss characteristics were measured. Finally, based on the analysis of experiment data, it shows that the computed optical loss value and the measured loss value are approximately equal (0.8 dB difference). Thus, the feasibility of the design is verified, which assures the reliable transmission between nodes.
