Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: a tunable laser configured to generate a plurality of optical wavelengths; a demultiplexer configured to receive the plurality of optical wavelengths and simultaneously output N number of channels onto N number of optical wavelength paths, where N is an integer greater than 0; an array of active bandpass optical filters controlled by a wavelength controller and is configured to receive the output of each of the N number of optical wavelength paths; wherein the wavelength controller is connected to each bandpass optical filter to select a desired output optical wavelength; wherein the output of each bandpass optical filter is controlled by the wavelength controller to generate the desired optical wavelength; wherein the N number of optical wavelengths controlled by the wavelength controller is received by N number of electro-optic modulators and modulated by N number of radio frequency bands; and wherein the N number of modulated optical wavelengths are transmitted to a multiplexer to combine into a single optical beam.
