Discrete and fine wavelength tunable thermo-optic WSS for low power consumption C+L band tunability

Broadband (~C+L band) wavelength tunability is demonstrated in a microring resonator (MRR)-based thermo-optic wavelength selective switch (TO-WSS) with low power consumption and low thermal crosstalk. Instead of direct tuning a single MRR spectrum, the discrete and fine wavelength tunability in a Ve...
