Abstract
Embodiments herein describe a pluggable module that includes a ROADM implemented in a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). By implementing the ROADM in a PIC, the ROADM can be placed on smaller, pluggable modules (e.g., a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) which can be a hot-pluggable network interface module).
