  • Abstract
    A non-blocking wavelength channel switch (non-blocking tunable filter) using the thermo-optic (TO) effect of a double series coupled polymer microring resonator is demonstrated. This device can switch a wavelength channel without blocking other wavelength channels. An extinction ratio of more than 10 dB was realised.
