Abstract
Summary form only given. This paper describes a packaged four-wavelength acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) switch employing techniques in conjunction with a novel thermal stabilization approach. This device, which utilizes external polarization beam splitters and operates with 4-nm channel separation is shown.
