Optical devices for adding/dropping an optical signal with a particular wavelength
are disclosed. According to embodiment, a reflection channel module including a
grin lens and a bandpass filter is employed to transmit the optical with a particular
wavelength and reflect all other channel signals. The transmitted signal is regulated
by an optical regulator (e.g. variable optical attenuator) before it is output
from the device via a grin lens. As a result, a regulated channel can be dropped
or added depending on an application.
