RECONFIGURABLE OPTICAL NETWORKS

摘要

A system, e.g. a reconfigurable optical channel router, includes an input waveguide optically connected to a wavelength demultiplexer. A first input microcavity resonator set including a plurality of microcavity resonators is located adjacent the input waveguide. The microcavity resonators are configured to controllably couple to a corresponding one of a plurality of frequency channels of an optical signal propagating within said input waveguide.
