Abstract: A double-passage acousto-optical device including an acousto-optical switch having a first polarization conversion region connected between first input and output ports, and a second conversion region connected between second input and output ports; and an optical combination connected between the first output port and the second input port via optical fibers and including an optical isolating element. The double-passage acousto-optical device may alternately include an acousto-optical switch including a single polarization conversion region connected between first input and output ports and also connected between second input and output ports. A bandpass filter, a notch filter, and add/drop and a tunable laser generator may be formed using the acousto-optical device.
