FDM-channel selection filter using arrayed-waveguide grating multiplexer with input and output switches

A novel configuration is reported for a tunable channel-selection filter that employs an arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer and optical switches. The filter requires only 2( square root N-1) 1*2 switch elements to select one of N frequency-division-multiplexed (FDM) channels. A filter for 100 GHz-spaced 16 FDM channels is demonstrated with an AWG 16*16 multiplexer and six 1*2 switches. >
