Abstract :
We have developed a new high-speed 32-channel optical wavelength selector (OWS) with gate drivers using PLC hybrid integration. It has excellent characteristics consisting of a low insertion loss of 2.3 dB, a low cross talk of -46 dB and the error-free optical wavelength selection of 10-Gbit/s optical signal.
