    Abstract: A liquid crystal on silicon, a wavelength selective switch, an alignment direction obtaining method, and a method for manufacturing a liquid crystal on silicon. The liquid crystal on silicon has a first pixel area, and a first liquid crystal located in the first pixel area. The first liquid crystal is deflected in a plane perpendicular to a first panel, and is deflected towards a first direction in a plane parallel to the first panel. An alignment direction of the first partial alignment film located in the first pixel area is deflected towards a second direction relative to a polarization direction of an incident beam, and the second direction is opposite to the first direction to reduce a loss of a deflected beam.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a node apparatus, where two N×N wavelength selective switches are used to form a parallel-connected structure, and two ends of each power splitter are separately connected to input ends of the N×N wavelength selective switches, and two ends of each power combiner are separately connected to output ends of the N×N wavelength selective switches, thereby transferring route switching selection work originally performed between multiple 1×M wavelength selective switches to the inside of the N×N wavelength selective switch for implementation. Compared with an original structure using discrete components, the node apparatus is simplified, and when a traffic volume expands, the number of module slots on a line side does not need to be increased, thereby reducing usage costs eventually. The present invention is used for signal transmission in a node.

    Abstract: An optical processing apparatus and an optical system. The apparatus includes an input port, an optical path conversion assembly, an LCoS assembly, and an output port. The input port receives a first light beam. The optical path conversion assembly performs chromatic dispersion on the first light beam to obtain a second light beam, the second light beam being a single-wavelength light beam. The LCoS assembly diffracts the second light beam to obtain diffracted light of the second light beam. The diffracted light of the second light beam includes 0-order diffracted light and +1-order diffracted light. The optical path conversion assembly transmits the diffracted light of the second light beam, and converges the +1-order diffracted light to the output port. The output port collimates and outputs the received +1-order diffracted light.
