by B. Pezeshki,
E. Vail, J. Kubicky, G. Yoffe, S. Zou et. al.: This paper
was presented at OFC in March 2002, and describes a 33nm
c-band tunable module using a DFB laser array and a MEMs
mirror to select one element of the array. This technology
is demonstrated in a fully functional module at 20 mW.
