  • Abstract
    We present an InP monolithically integrated wavelength selector that requires log2N switches for selecting N modulated wavelengths. Loss-less and nanosecond time-scale operation with 35dB OSNR and error-free dynamic wavelength selection of four modulated wavelengths with 2.6dB power penalty is demonstrated.
