  • Publication number: 20130272650
    Abstract: A wavelength cross connect device includes an input demultiplexing optical system for demultiplexing light input from a plurality of input ports into respective wavelengths, a wavelength switching optical system for switching and outputting the lights of respective wavelengths input from the input demultiplexing optical system to respective desired ports, and an output multiplexing optical system for multiplexing the lights of respective wavelengths input from the wavelength switching optical system per port. The input demultiplexing optical system and the output multiplexing optical system includes a lens system that has a function of focusing lights independently in vertical and widthwise directions.

  • 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

  • Patent number: 7567736
    Abstract: A waveguide type wavelength domain optical switch includes an input/output port including at least three waveguide spectrometers stacked in thickness direction, a first lens for collecting light outputted from an input port of the input/output port in one axis direction, a second lens for collecting light outputted from the first lens in a direction orthogonal to the collecting direction of the first lens, and an optical phase modulation cell for reflecting light outputted from the second lens through the second lens and the first lens to an output port of the input/output port. Alternatively, the input/output port may include at least two waveguide spectrometers and a waveguide optical coupler circuit stacked in thickness direction.
