The signal of wavelength $ \lambda_1$then outputs to port 3, where it is dropped. A second signal with wavelength $ \lambda_1$arrives at the port 4 of the second circulator (whose ports are numbered 4,5, 6 to avoid confusion). This added signal proceeds to port 5, reflected by Bragg grating and re-enters port 5 as an input. The signal, along with $ \lambda_2,\lambda_3, \ldots$is output at port 6.

  Bidirectional OADM using Optical Circulators and FBG
  We can design a bidirectional OADM using two four port circulators and wavelength selective fiber gratings.
