    摘要： An optical routing apparatus that allows flexible and effective routing of optical signals between input and output ports is provided. The apparatus makes use of one or more linearly actuated mirrors, with different routing configurations of the optical signals resulting from different mirror positions. For each such mirror, the linear actuation is may be performed along an axis that is either parallel or perpendicular to the mirror surface.

    摘要： A wavelength router that selectively directs spectral bands between an input port and a set of output ports. The router includes a free-space optical train disposed between the input ports and said output ports, and a routing mechanism. The free-space optical train can include air-spaced elements or can be of generally monolithic construction. The optical train includes a dispersive element such as a diffraction grating, and is configured so that the light from the input port encounters the dispersive element twice before reaching any of the output ports. The routing mechanism includes one or more routing elements and cooperates with the other elements in the optical train to provide optical paths that couple desired subsets of the spectral bands to desired output ports. The routing elements are disposed to intercept the different spectral bands after they have been spatially separated by their first encounter with the dispersive element.

    摘要： A method of monitoring input light having a plurality of spectral bands (wavelength channels) includes the following, carried out for at least two different spectral bands at different times, using a common photodetector and wavelength-monitoring circuit that is coupled to the photodetector: separating one of the spectral bands from the plurality of spectral bands, directing light in only that spectral band to the photodetector, and generating, with the wavelength-monitoring circuit, a signal representing a quality characteristic of a modulated or unmodulated pattern of light in that spectral band. Each of the plurality of spectral bands can be individually and sequentially monitored in round-robin fashion, each of a subset of the spectral bands can be individually and sequentially monitored in round-robin fashion (to provide selective wavelength monitoring), or the monitoring can be ad hoc in response to external requirements. If desired, the opitcal power of the plurality of spectral bands can be monitored by directing the light in the spectral bands other than the band that has been separated from the plurality to an additional common photodetector and a common power-monitoring circuit.

    摘要： An optical switch comprises a two-dimensional array of optical inputs, a Fourier transform lens, and a two-dimensional array of optical outputs. Each of the optical inputs emits an optical beam that is transmitted through the Fourier transform lens to one of the optical outputs. A first deflection means gives each of the optical beams a respective direction of incidence upon the Fourier transform lens. The optical output to which a given beam travels depends on the beam's respective direction of incidence. A second deflection means deflects the optical beams after they have been transmitted through the Fourier transform lens and renders the beams parallel, thereby enabling the beams to couple efficiently to the optical outputs. Each of the deflection means preferably comprises at least one Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, or MEMS, deflector array. The optical inputs and outputs preferably comprise optical fibers. The Fourier transform lens overcomes diffraction limitations, since the lens causes the spreading optical beams to reconverge.
