Schematic of operation of an add/drop wavelength switch based on waveguides coupled through a resonant ring [75]. (Left) The resonant ring channels the signal at wavelength λ2 to the drop output. (Right) A lossy medium perturbs the evanescent field spoiling the ring resonance and λ2 goes to the main output.
