Abstract
To meet the demands of fast optical switching architectures we need photonic devices with short electronical as well as optical switching times. These requirements concern all degrees of freedom: frequency/wavelength, space and time. With Y-lasers we have already demonstrated fast electrical tuning in wavelength and space with 1 GHz /1/ and all optical wavelength conversion /2/.
