Claim 0:
1. An optical device comprising:
a plurality of input ports to receive a plurality of optical fields;
a variable bandwidth output port to receive the plurality of optical fields from the plurality of input ports, the variable bandwidth output port having a variable bandwidth comprising a first bandwidth and a second bandwidth that is larger than the first bandwidth to output additional wavelengths from the plurality of optical fields; and
a controller to change the variable bandwidth of the variable bandwidth output port, the controller being configured to, in response to detecting that the plurality of optical fields includes multiple optical fields having substantially different wavelengths, change the variable bandwidth of the variable bandwidth output port to the second bandwidth such that the multiple optical fields of the plurality of optical fields are output by the variable bandwidth output port.
