The present invention is a wavelength-selective optical transmission system that includes a first waveguide for transmitting a multiplexed optical signal therethrough. The system further includes a second waveguide coupled to the first waveguide wherein a least one of the first and second waveguides have a set of wavelength-selective Bragg gratings disposed near a coupling section between the first and second waveguides to reflect a reflecting optical signal back to the first waveguide and for transmitting a contra-directional optical signal and a co-directional optical signal having respectively a contra-directional selected wavelength and a co-directional selected wavelength corresponding to the Bragg gratings. One of the contra-directional and co-directional wavelengths is chosen as a designated wavelength, and the reflecting optical signal and one of the contra-directional or co-directional optical signals are outside of a predefined range surrounding the designated wavelength.

A wavelength selective switch. The switch comprises an input waveguide for carrying an optical signal having a wavelength λi. Also included is an output waveguide having a Bragg grating adapted for coupling the wavelength λi into the output waveguide in a coupling zone. Finally, provided is a heater element that can selectively provide thermal energy to the coupling zone such that the Bragg grating does not couple the wavelength λi.

The present invention relates to a sputter deposition system and to methods of use thereof for processing substrates using planetary sputter deposition methods. The sputter deposition system includes a deposition chamber having an azimuthal axis. A rotatable member is situated in the chamber and includes a plurality of magnetrons provided thereon. Each magnetron includes a corresponding one of a plurality of sputtering targets. The rotatable member is configured to position each of the magnetrons to direct sputtered material from the corresponding one of the sputtering targets to a deposition zone defined in the deposition chamber. A transport mechanism is situated in the deposition chamber and includes an arm rotatable about the azimuthal axis. A substrate holder is attached to the arm of the transport mechanism and supports the substrate as the arm rotates the substrate holder to intersect the deposition zone for depositing sputtered material on the substrate.
