摘要:
The discloser provides a multi-input and multi-output optical switch capable of switching over all WDM wavelengths. An optical switch according to one embodiment includes: an optical demultiplexing element (3) that demultiplexes an optical signal from at least one input port into individual wavelengths; a first optical deflection element (5), which deflects an incident optical signal, that deflects the wavelength-separated optical signal incoming from the optical demultiplexing element to change a traveling direction for each wavelength to a switch axis direction perpendicular to a wavelength dispersion axis direction; a second optical deflection element (8) that deflects the optical signal incoming from the first optical deflection element to change the traveling direction to the switch axis direction for output to at least one of the output ports; and an optical multiplexing element (10) that multiplexes the optical signal with the different wavelengths incoming from the second optical deflection element.
摘要:
Cores of an optical waveguide forming a Y-branch structured thermo-optic switch are stacked in a direction perpendicular to a substrate, and a heater is disposed on a clad right above an area where the cores overlap, thereby utilizing a large temperature gradient by the heater in the direction perpendicular to the substrate. The resulting stacked thermo-optic switch is low in power consumption and signal loss and high in extinction ratio.

In a digital thermo-optic switch and an optical ADM filter of the present invention, functional components such as a splitter and a grating structure part formed in the course of an optical circuit as a component are composed of silicone materials which are superior in heat resistance, reduced loss, and low birefringence, thereby achieving sufficiently practical thermal stability, low loss at 1.55 to 1.58 .mu.m band, wavelength selectivity, and cost reduction.

A waveguide type optical switch that can reduce the number of intersections in a matrix optical switch having the configuration of connecting unit optical switches and optical combining devices or optical branching devices to have a connecting function from “multiple inputs to one output” to “one input to multiple outputs”. To reduce the number of intersections in an entire matrix optical switch, an optical combining device of M inputs and one output is divided into (M−1) pieces of unit optical combining elements each having two inputs and one output, which are arranged immediately after (N−1) pieces of respective output ports excluding one piece of the output port closer to the input in the matrix optical switch out of N pieces of the output ports in the optical switch of one input and N outputs.

摘要:
An LED lamp A1 includes a plurality of LED modules 1 and a substrate 2 on which the LED modules 1 are mounted in a row. A light guide 3 covering the LED modules 1 is provided on the substrate 2. The light guide 3 is held in close contact with each of the LED modules. With this arrangement, a proper amount of light is obtained with the use of a smaller number of LED modules 1 or with less power consumption.
