Wavelength Selective Switches Based on Grating Assisted Mode Coupling

A novel grating-assisted wavelength selective switch (WSS) is proposed. Its operating principle is experimentally confirmed with strong coupling strength, negligible birefringence, and low channel crosstalk. A WSS-based cross-connect device is demonstrated.
