ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is apparatus for continuous wideband tuning of lasers, along with means for relating such tuning to a reference wavelength, by maintaining any desired offset from that reference wavelength. Also disclosed are multichannel fiber optics communications networks employing the above means, said networks being self organizing in terms of the wavelengths of their channels.
