Abstract:
The wavelength response of an arrayed waveguide grating can be tuned, in accordance with various embodiments, using a beam sweeper including one or more heaters to shift a lateral position of light focused by the beam sweeper at an interface of the beam sweeper with an input free propagation region of the arrayed waveguide grating.

Claim (Index 16):
The PIC of  claim 15 , wherein each of the heaters is configured to heat a heated region spatially overlapping with the array of waveguides to a substantially uniform temperature so as to impart a uniform phase shift per unit length of heated waveguide, the heated region being shaped and positioned such that heated waveguide portions increase, between all pairs of adjacent waveguides, by constant length increments.
