Abstract :
An efficient wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) channel equalizer employing a dynamic MicroPhotonic processor is demonstrated. Using a proof-of-principle 6-channel equalizer setup, optimum phase holograms have been generated, which realise WDM equalisation with more than 25 dB dynamic range and less than 0.2 dB power ripples.
