ABSTRACT:
An optical switch includes an optical source; a plurality of tunable optical resonators or tunable waveguides in optical communication with the optical source; and a tuning device configured to selectively route an optical beam from the optical source to at least one optical destination by tuning at least one of the optical resonators or tunable waveguides, in optical communication with at least one optical destination, to a wavelength characteristic of the optical beam.
