Wavelength selective 1×4 switch for 128 WDM channels at 50 GHz spacing
17 March 2002
We present a reconfigurable wavelength selective switch that independently distributes 128 input WDM channels to four output ports. The switch is based on bulk optics and MEMS micro-mirrors, exhibits a 5 dB insertion loss and flat-top pass-bands, and is well suited for transparent switching of 10 Gb/s signals. © 2002 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.1810) Couplers, switches, and multiplexers, (230. 3990) Microstructure devices, (060.2330) fiber optics communications
