Widely tunable lasers are an enabling technology that eliminate many of the limitations of fixed wavelength lasers, and enable new system architectures with increased functionality. Beyond solving the logistical and inventory problems of growing channel counts, tunable lasers enable system architects to implement truly dynamic networks that can adjust to changing network demands in real time. This paper will discuss the general application of tunable lasers and enable functionalities such as real-time channel provisioning, dynamic add/drop and network channel reconfiguration.
