چکیده
We propose a novel tunable optical add/drop multiplexer, based on Asymmetric Bragg Coupler and the liquid crystal as the active layer. Such device provides the features of small size, wide tuning range, narrow channel bandwidth, low electric power, high tuning speed, and simple control mechanisms. The transmission bandwidth is about 32.5GHz and the tunable range is about 250GHz.

In this paper, we demonstrate a novel all-fiber wavelength-tunable acoustooptic switch utilizing intermodal coupling in a two-mode fiber (TMF). Its all-fiber configuration consisting of a fiber acoustooptic tunable filter and a mode-selective coupler results in the low loss ( 2 dB) operation. The operating bandwidth 50 nm, the switching time of 40 sec, and the crosstalk of 20 dB were achieved. ...
