Abstract: An optical switching device for dividing an optical input which was wavelength-multiplexed into a plurality of optical outputs by wavelengths is disclosed. The device comprises a first filtering circuit and a second filtering circuit. The first filtering circuit has a plurality of interference filters disposed in line on an optical path of the optical input. The interference filters have different edge wavelengths each other so as to reflect a component with a predetermined wavelength of the optical input and to transmit the remaining components of the optical input. The second filtering circuit has a plurality of interference filters disposed on respective optical paths of reflected rays of the first filtering circuit. The interference filters of the second filtering circuit have different edge wavelengths each other so as to remove components with unnecessary wavelengths from the reflected ray and extract optical outputs.
