1. An optomechanical platform for operating on a broad spectrum input signal carried on an optical fiber comprising:

  • a means for providing the broad spectrum input signal in a 1-D array;

    a means for substantially collimating the broad spectrum input;

    a means for diffracting the collimated broad spectrum input into a distinct angle such that the diffracted light is directed through the collimating means a second time and onto a means for operating on the light; and

    the means for operating on the light which receives the light after it passes through the collimating means the second time, the light operating means including a means for selectively reflecting some or all of the light back into the collimating means, while affecting either the amplitude or phase of the reflected light.
