Patent number: 7340128Abstract: A housing 20 is equipped for supporting, from a side, a platform of a wavelength selection device comprising an input/output port 10, a collimator 11, an expanding optical system 12, a spectroscopic element, a collecting optical system 14 and a micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) mirror array 15. Because the above noted optical member is supported from the side only, influences of a thermal expansion is limited to the height direction of the optical member and the optical axis direction. By these aspects, the influence of thermal expansion is limited to a two-dimensional from a common three-dimensional, thereby enabling a design of a countermeasure to an influence of a thermal expansion. Also, the support from the side does not create a dead space thereby making the wavelength selection device compact.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2006Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Kohei Shibata, Nobuhiro Fukushima, Tamotsu Akashi, Toshiya Kishida, Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, Hirofumi Aota, Shinji Yamashita, Shinichi Takeuchi, Hiroyuki Furukawa, Yoshinobu Kubota

Patent number: 7330617Abstract: A wavelength selective optical switch of the present invention separates a WDM light emitted from an input port of an input and output optical system, according to wavelengths, by a diffraction grating, and thereafter, condenses the lights of respective wavelengths on MEMS mirrors respectively corresponding to the respective wavelengths, in a mirror array, to reflect them by a condenser optical system, to thereby switch optical paths for the respective lights. The condenser optical system is configured by combining a plurality of lenses whose focal distances are different from each other, and positions in an optical axis direction of the lenses are adjustable by a slide mechanism. Thus, despite an error in the focal distances of the condenser lenses, in a mounting angle of a spectral element or the like, a beam pitch at the condensing positions of the lights of respective wavelengths can be coincident with a mirror pitch in the mirror array.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2005Date of Patent: February 12, 2008Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Hirofumi Aota, Kohei Shibata, Tamotsu Akashi, Shinji Yamashita, Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, Shinichi Takeuchi, Yoshinobu Kubota, Nobuhiro Fukushima, Hiroyuki Furukawa, Toshiya Kishida

Patent number: 7050230Abstract: Light incident on an input optical fiber is separated into p-polarized light and s-polarized light by a birefringent crystal. A voltage to be applied to a liquid crystal element having electrodes associated with the ray axes of the polarized light waves is controlled in order to convert the p-polarized light into s-polarized so that both the polarized light waves will be s-polarized light. A polarized-wave separation film transmits p-polarized light and reflects s-polarized light. When both the polarized light waves propagated through the liquid crystal element are s-polarized light, the light reflected from the polarized-wave separation film is reflected from a total-reflection film, and reflected again from the polarized-wave separation film. The resultant light falls on the birefringent crystal again via the liquid crystal element, and is restored to non-polarized light by the birefringent crystal. The non-polarized light then falls on a first output optical fiber.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2005Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Takashi Yamane, Toshiya Kishida, Manabu Komiyama

Patent number: 6978076Abstract: A variable optical attenuator is constituted of input/output optical systems, a birefringent member provided at output sides of the input/output optical systems, a liquid-crystal member capable of individually varying polarizing states of input beams exiting the birefringent member, and a reflection member which reflects light passing through the liquid-crystal member, to thereby cause the light to return to an output lens of the input/output optical systems by way of the liquid-crystal member and the birefringent member. Thus, there can be provided a variable optical attenuator which is more compact and less expensive than a related-art variable optical attenuator.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2003Date of Patent: December 20, 2005Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Toshiya Kishida, Takashi Yamane, Tatsuro Kunikane

Publication number: 20040202417Abstract: There provided a small low-cost optical monitor device. In this optical monitor device, input fibers and output fibers are arranged in an array on one side, first lenses are arranged in an array on the optic axes of input optical signals outputted from the input fibers, and second lenses are arranged in an array on the optic axes of output optical signals inputted to the output fibers. Input optical signals is inputted to a coupler film via the first lenses and optical signals which pass through the coupler film will be detected by front incidence type PD elements. On the other hand, output optical signals reflected from the coupler film are inputted to the second lenses separate from the first lenses, from which the input optical signals were outputted, and are coupled to the corresponding output fibers. As a result, a reflection and loop back structure is realized. In this reflection and loop back structure, a plurality of input optical signals are reflected accurately by a coupler film and are outputted.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2003Publication date: October 14, 2004Applicant: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Tetsuo Watanabe, Toshiya Kishida, Takashi Yamane, Tatsuro Kunikane
