Abstract
An optical multichannel controller that gives full access to 12 individual wavelength channels is reported. The device consists of two waveguide grating routers integrated with semiconductor optical amplifiers. It exhibits a channel spacing of exactly 3.2 nm (400 GHz) and an off-peak signal rejection of more than 40 dB. The amplifiers compensate for the multiplexer insertion losses
