A novel method of producing switchable tunable output that spans the S-, C- and L-bands is presented. The achievable tuning range is about 120 nm. The design consists of a wide band SOA, 1 x 16 AWG and an optical selectable switch in a ring configuration. The measured average output powers for S-. C...
