ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses a method and apparatus for providing high speed optical tuning. With this invention, light is spatially routed through a tree of optical switches interconnected by waveguides to a selected fixed tuned optical filter in an array of such filters. Each of the optical switches can be controlled by a binary signal thereby permitting digitally controlled optical filtering.
