Abstract :
We have demonstrated a novel dynamic optical add-drop multiplexer. It combines the properties of Bragg gratings and the acousto-optic effect in optical fibers. The prototype presented here exhibits a time response of 95 μs. We are currently working to reduce the leakage of the dropped signal and to improve the time response of the device.
