LCoS-Based Wavelength-Selective Switch for Future Finer-Grid Elastic Optical Networks Capable of All-Optical Wavelength Conversion

A finer-grid wavelength-selective switch (WSS) based on liquid crystal on silicon is proposed, fabricated, and demonstrated. Based on the cost-effective method, namely combined lenses technique, the focal length is increased so that both the bandwidth setting resolution and grid granularity is impro...
