  • Wavelength domain optical switch
    Patent number: 8503836
    Abstract: To provide a waveguide type wavelength domain optical switch which makes it possible to use a cheap lens, makes it possible to correct aberration of the demultiplexed wavelengths produced in a plurality of waveguide type demultiplexing circuits, a wavelength domain optical switch is provided with: an integrated element formed by laminating three or more waveguide type demultiplexing circuits; a first lens for collecting light emitted from the integrated element; a polarization separation element for separating light emitted from the first lens into X polarization and Y polarization and emitting the X polarization and the Y polarization at different angles; a second lens for collecting the X polarization and the Y polarization; a first reflective optical phase modulator for reflecting the collected X polarization and Y polarization at any angles; a ½-wavelength plate disposed between the second lens and the first reflective optical phase modulator in order to make polarization directions of the X polarization

  • Optical waveguide-type wavelength domain switch
    Patent number: 8229258
    Abstract: An optical waveguide-type wavelength domain switch includes a waveguide-type multi/demultiplexing device laminate comprising three or more laminated waveguide-type multi/demultiplexing devices, a lens system positioned on a demultiplex side of the waveguide-type multi/demultiplexing device laminate, and a reflective optical phase-modulating cell positioned on an opposite side of the waveguide-type multi/demultiplexing device laminate to the lens system.

  • Method of manufacturing a diffraction grating
    Patent number: 6514576
    Abstract: This invention provides a method of manufacturing a diffraction grating capable of scribing by an interference light at a lower power density than usual. That is, a coating solution containing a metal alkoxide and a &bgr;-diketone is coated on a substrate, the coated film is heat treated to form a gelled film and then an interference light is irradiated to the gelled film, to manufacture a diffraction grating.
