Abstract: The present invention provides a switch device for an optical signal which has high extendibility and which can suppress an increase of loss in extension. A switch device in one embodiment of the present invention includes, in a housing, four splitter portions, four switch portions, and extension splitter portions. The splitter portions are connected to path-side ports, the switch portions are connected to client-side ports, and the splitter portions and the switch portions are connected to one another via shuffle fiber arrays. One ends of the extension splitter portions are connected to path-side extension ports, and the other ends thereof are connected to client-side extension ports. The number of wavelengths processable by the switch device can be easily changed by changing a connection state of optical fibers to the path-side ports, the client-side ports, the path-side extension ports, and the client-side extension ports.

Abstract: An intersecting splitter configured so that the branching ratio of each optical splitter differs in accordance with the difference in the number of intersections in each branched waveguide. The branching ratios (totaling 100%) of the optical splitters are adjusted so that the branching ratios on the high side as to the number of intersections is high in comparison with the branching ratios on the low side as to the number of intersections, and it is thereby possible to level the total loss.

Abstract: An optical component includes: a high-relative-refractive-index-difference optical fiber; a single-mode optical fiber fusion-spliced to the high-relative-refractive-index-difference optical fiber, a mode-field diameter of the single-mode optical fiber being greater than a mode-field diameter of the high-relative-refractive-index-difference optical fiber at a wavelength of 1550 nm; and an optical device connected to an end surface of the high-relative-refractive-index-difference optical fiber where the single-mode optical fiber is not fusion-spliced. A total of a connection loss between the high-relative-refractive-index-difference optical fiber and the single-mode optical fiber at the wavelength of 1550 nm and a connection loss between the high-relative-refractive-index-difference optical fiber and the optical device at the wavelength of 1550 nm is less than a connection loss at the wavelength of 1550 nm when the single-mode optical fiber is connected to the optical device directly.
