Abstract:
The development of a wavelength selective switch (WSS) for space-division multiplexing (SDM) applications is discussed, covering system aspects and applicability of an SDM-WSS in an optical network as well as the development of the free-space optics and of the Liquid-Crystal-on-Silicon (LCoS) Spatial Light Modulator (SLM), including the flexible driving solution.
