摘要: We demonstrate a universal reconfigurable add-drop optical filter based on arrays of digital micromirrors. Our approach allows for reconfiguration the device parameters operation in different sets channel wavelengths, even or uneven channel-to-channel separation, adjustable passband, and dynamic signals. The proposed shows insertion loss at center wavelength all-pass configuration 7.6 dB, extinction ratio 35 isolation better than 24dB, negligible ripple, possibility time order microseconds. Although designed demonstration telecommunication frequencies, high-flexibility features allow it to be used other wavelength-based filtering/switching applications.
