Abstract :
Experimental results of a tunable 8-channel wavelength demultiplexer are described. An acousto-optic light deflector is used to control the demultiplexer wavelength characteristics externally. An insertion loss of 9.5 dB, a crosstalk attenuation of 21 dB and a tuning range of 3.3 nm were obtained.
