That said, I do think the separately tunable tunable transmitters and receivers could be huge, especially if they came at only a reasonably small
I don't think this technology exists. The receivers are always wideband and there is some filter in optical mux or in BX optic to avoid receiving reflections of your own TX. Not sure if tunable filter exists.
Tunable rx exists in pluggable format, but it is called 100G coherent :-) I would find tunable rx useful for 1/10G (eliminate DCM, power-splitter based WDM etc), but not sure there is enough market for the product to exist. Closest I got was inline FBG fiber patch. There are manufacturers for these. Tim:>
