Somehow I think you are missing a piece of the puzzle.
Others have tried to point this out.....
Let's do the basics.....
A MUX = Light filter, which takes colored light and mixes them together
A DEMUX = is a Mux which is operating on the other direction... i.e. take
mixed light and exit them into colored light
An OADM = is a specialty mux/demux, which takes incoming light, splits out
& splits in specific color, while letting other freq to pass thru
So.. what you are trying to do is nothing new, but done everyday, in one flavor
or another..
CWDM or DWDM MUX/DEMUX----> (Add drop mux to drop one or two channels
------> CWDM or DWDM MUX/DEMUX
these are all passive devices... at the drop site you will end up with two
connections, one going east and the other going west..
Hope it makes sense..
FYI, CWDM & DWDM optics have filters on the TX side of the Optics, and not on
the RX Side.... this is considered a benefit, and this particular feature is
used to mux/demux single fiber runs.... where you put one channel optics on the
TX side and you use the next adjacent channel optics on the RX side...
