ABSTRACT:
A wavelength division multiplexing system based on arrays of wavelength tunable lasers and wavelength tunable resonant photodetectors is disclosed. The system allows self-adjusting of the resonance wavelength of the wavelength tunable photodetectors to the wavelengths of the laser light emitted by the lasers. No precise wavelength stabilization of the lasers is required.
