Abstract :
A novel idea and realisation of a control algorithm to switch the wavelength of continuously tunable lasers is presented. The concept allows the switching of a defined number of dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) channels up or down by employing a broadband wavelength locker. The switching algorithm is implemented and demonstrated for a micro-electro-mechanically tunable vertical-cavity surface emitting laser (MEM-VCSEL).
