Summary: | An optical switch includes at least one input port for receiving a WDM optical signal having a plurality of wavelength components, at least three output ports, and a plurality of wavelength selective elements each selecting one of the wavelength components from among the plurality of wavelength components. A plurality of optical elements are also provided, each of which are associated with one of the wavelength selective elements. Each of the optical elements direct the selected wavelength component that is selected by its associated selected element to a given one of the output ports independently of every other wavelength component. The given output port is variably selectable from among all the output ports. |
