The filters consist of small-scale switches and AWGs (Arrayed Waveguide Gratings) and so are cost effective. The technical feasibility of the drop configuration using proposed tunable filters is experimentally verified.}, pages = {1297--1303}, title = {Novel wavelength tunable filter offering multi-stage selection for colorless, directionless, and contentionless ROADMs}, volume = {9}, year = {2012} }
