An optical signal processor, capable of eliminating design change of lens optical systems, it is fabricating by selecting one or more optical waveguides, each having a mode field diameter such that a desired band width of the transmission characteristics of the whole optical signal processor with respect to the light beam are selected as the input and output optical waveguides. When one optical waveguide is selected, the selected optical waveguide is applied as a common optical waveguide corresponding to both input and output optical waveguides. When two optical waveguides are selected, one is applied to the input optical waveguide and the other is applied to the output optical waveguide.

An optical signal processing apparatus has a diffraction grating element, first condenser lens, Faraday rotation elements, polarization beam splitter, λ/2 plate, second condenser lens, third condenser lens, and diffraction grating element. The magnitude of a magnetic field of each of the Faraday rotation elements is controlled on the basis of an externally input control signal. The rotation angle of the plane of polarization of signal light is set to 0 or λ/2 in accordance with the magnitude of the magnetic field. Each Faraday rotation element receives signal light having wavelengths λ1 to λ4, which has arrived from the first condenser lens, and outputs the signal light as a polarized light component in the first azimuth (parallel to the z-axis direction) or second azimuth (parallel to the y-axis direction).
