    Abstract: An optical switching apparatus includes an input port, a dispersion component, a first filter, a redirection component, and output ports. The input port enables a first and a second beam to be incident onto the dispersion component, which decomposes the first and the second beams respectively into a plurality of first and second sub-beams, where the plurality of first sub-beams and second sub-beams belong to different bands. The first filter separates transmission directions of the plurality of first and second sub-beams into different transmission directions in a first direction (X) based on the different bands, enables the plurality of first and second sub-beams respectively to be incident onto a first area and a second area of the redirection component, where the first and second areas are separated in the first direction.

    Abstract: A wavelength switching apparatus includes M input components, a first optical component, a first switch array, a second switch array, a second optical component, and K output components. The M input components include at least one local input component having N input ports, and a light beam input by the local input component can be converged, under an action of the first optical component, on a row of switch units that are in the first switch array and that are corresponding to the local input component. In this way, this is equivalent to further connecting an N*1-dimensional WSS to an input end of an M*K-dimensional WSS, so that the wavelength switching apparatus can integrate a wavelength adding function based on the M*K-dimensional WSS.

    Abstract: A signal monitoring method and apparatus for a wavelength selective switch (WSS) are provided. The signal monitoring method for a wavelength selective switch WSS includes: encoding a phase of a first optical engine based on an input WDM signal, so that the WDM signal is split into a transmitted signal and a monitored signal after passing through the first optical engine; inputting the monitored signal to a second optical engine disposed at an output-side grating; and controlling the second optical engine to rotate in a wavelength plane of the WDM signal, so that monitored light of a specified wavelength in the monitored signal is output from the second optical engine at a preset angle.

    Abstract: A wavelength selective switch includes: N input ports, an input-side fiber array, an input-side collimator array, an input-side beam deformation and polarization conversion component, an input-side wave-demultiplexing component, an input-side switching engine, a focusing transformation lens group, an output-side switching engine, an output-side wave-combining component, an output-side beam deformation and polarization conversion component, an output-side collimator array, an output-side fiber array, and M output ports. The focusing transformation lens group includes two identical aspheric convex lenses that are placed in parallel, where a curvature from a center to an edge of a surface of the aspheric convex lens changes continuously. A spatial position of the focusing transformation lens group and the curvature from the center to the edge of the surface are so set that light with different wavelengths from the input-side switching engine is focused to a corresponding position of the output-side switching engine respectively.

    Abstract: An optical system. A light source component generates a light beam. A light adjustment component adjusts a ratio of the S-polarized light and a ratio of the P-polarized light in the light beam. A first polarization beamsplitter mirror component splits a light beam adjusted by the light adjustment component into a first light beam and a second light beam, where the first light beam is a light beam of the S-polarized light, and the second light beam is a light beam of the P-polarized light. The first lens component projects the first light beam or a modulated first light beam to a first region. The second lens component projects the second light beam or a modulated second light beam to a second region.
