A 10-/spl mu/s-tuning MEMS-actuated Gires-Tournois filter for use as a tunable wavelength demultiplexer and a tunable OCDMA encoder/decoder

We use a wavelength-tunable GTI mux/demux with 10 /spl mu/s switching time to demonstrate rapid wavelength switching of data streams in a WDM system as well as code hopping in a time-wavelength OCDMA system. We observe <0.5dB power-penalty.
