Investigation of Tunable Laser Diode Control with Built-in Wavelength Monitoring and Calibration Methods

We investigate fast tunable wavelength laser control designed for optical switching system with built-in wavelength monitoring and calibration. The combination of the AWGR and photo detector array allows calibration and monitoring of fast switching TLDs.
