Variable blazed grating based signal processing

摘要

A light processing system includes an array of optical signal processing devices. The array of processing devices are operable to receive at least some of a first signal part and to modulate the first signal part based at least in part on a control signal received from a controller. At least some of the processing devices include a plurality of at least partially reflective mirrors that are disposed outwardly from an inner conductive layer and are operable to receive at least some of the first signal part. In one particular embodiment, at least some of the mirrors are operable to undergo a partial rotation in response to the control signal. The partial rotation resulting in a reflection of the at least some of the first signal part in one direction.
