Wavelength tunable optical components

Embodiments of a wavelength tunable optical coupler, integrated optical components, and lasers are disclosed. The tunable optical coupler, the integrated optical components, and the lasers include thermo-optic organic material that has an index of refraction which can quickly vary in response to changes in temperature. By controlling the temperature in the thermo-optic organic material through the use of heaters or coolers, the optical coupler, the integrated optical components, and the lasers can be quickly and selectively tuned over a broad range of wavelengths with high spectral selectivity.
