RE: Tunable QSFP Optics

Does anyone know if any Single Mode QSFPs exist on the market that use wavelengths other than 1310nm (either self 
tunable or factory tuned)?
I am looking to put more than one 40gb link on a fiber pair similar to using DWDM OADMs for 1g & 10g but can't seem 
to find any qsfp optics that don't use 1310nm.

I've probed our optics vendor about this in the past when trying to achieve something similar. Although they state 
1310nm, they actually run at 4 different 10G wavelengths (one of which is 1310) and as such are not suitable for 
Mux/Demuxing.
