ABSTRACT:
A programmable optical filter and an optical circuit arrangement using the filter has an optical demultiplexer for a spatial separation of the wavelengths from one another and a control arrangement composed of either an optical absorption modulator or an optical switch for controlled influencing of the light of the wavelength independent of other wavelengths. An optical amplifier may be arranged with each of the optical switches or absorption modulators.
