Abstract

An optical tapped delay line device in accordance with the present invention is a method for and device for spatially resolving the spectral components of an optical signal, i.e., channelizing or spectrum analyzing the wavelength content of an optical signal. The device is based on a tapped optical delay line and enables numerous related optical signal processing functions.
