Abstract

Integration of 40 1×12 Wavelength Selective Switches into a Compact Module Using a Single Digital LCOS Device

Brian Robertson & Karl Heeks ROADmap, UK

Roadmap Systems presents an innovative module allowing up to 40 independent 1×12 Wavelength Selective Switches (WSSs) to operate with a single 4K digital LCoS device. Crosstalk suppression uses a combination of novel hardware and hologram optimization techniques. This flexible module can also be reconfigured as a 12×12 WSS.
