Förfarande och anordning för omkoppling av optiska våglängdsmultiplexerade kanaler

摘要

The present invention relates to a wavelength selective switch. Said switch comprises at least one MMI waveguide, at least one Mach Zehnder waveguide, at least one phase control element and at least one Bragg grating, where said Mach Zehnder waveguide comprises said phase control element and said Bragg grating and is arranged in connection to at least one MMI waveguide. The invention further comprises a method for switching wavelength channels by using the above mentioned wavelength selective switch.
