<p>A method and apparatus for telecommunications applications, such as switching (Add/Drop) multiplexing and demultiplexing, is disclosed. A source (70, 72, 74, 76) of input optical signals (10) are directed onto a movable diffractive optical element or MDOE (12). Each of the optical signals is of a particular wavelength. The MDOE generates and distributes output optical signals (92, 94) among output stations (88, 90).</p> |
