The study of the spectral switches has been extended to the off-axis regime within the framework
of the paraxial approximation, and the main attention is focused on the influence of the off-axis parameters
and incident angles on the behavior of the spectral switches. It is shown the critical position uc, spectral
minimum Smin and transition height Δ of the spectral switch depend on the off-axis parameters Δu and incident
angles φ. By a suitable choice of system parameters, Smin, Δ and zc of the spectral switch can be variable.
Therefore, this kind of spectral changes might find some interesting applications in spectrum-selective
interconnects. The on-axis Gaussian beams are treated as a special case of the general result.
