    摘要: The present invention provides an optical demultiplexer and an optical multiplexer the transmission characteristics of which are unlikely to be affected by fabrication errors and which have small group delay dispersion. A cross output port (X-OUT) of a second optical demultiplexer element (DEMUX) is selected, and a through output port (T-OUT) of a third DEMUX is selected. A T-OUT of a first DEMUX has a passband equal to the X-OUT of the second DEMUX, and a X-OUT of the first DEMUX has a passband equal to the T-OUT of the third DEMUX. The T-OUT of the first DEMUX has group delay characteristics opposite to those of the X-OUT of the second DEMUX, and the X-OUT of the first DEMUX has group delay characteristics opposite to those of the T-OUT of the third DEMUX.

    摘要: An optical multi/demultiplexer is provided that has a wide passband and small crosstalk among its all channels. It includes first and second arrayed waveguide gratings and a 2×2 optical signal processor. The 2×2 optical signal processor includes first to fourth directional couplers, and first to third delay lines. The first to third delay lines have thin film heater phase shifters for correcting phase errors involved in fabrication. Utilizing the 2×2 optical signal processor having a transmission spectrum with a square profile having a wide passband and rejection band makes it possible for the optical multi/demultiplexer that combines the arrayed waveguide gratings with the waveguide type circulating filter (2×2 optical signal processor) to widen the extinction bandwidth of the adjacent channel.

    摘要: The present invention discloses an interferometer optical switch that can carry out switching over a broad band and has a high extinction ratio and large fabrication tolerance. The interferometer optical switch employs a phase generating coupler, the phase difference of the output of which has wavelength dependence, as at least one of the optical multi/demultiplexing device included in the interferometer optical switch. A wavelength insensitive interferometer optical switch is implemented by making the sum 2π{φ1(λ)+φΔL(λ)+φ2(λ)} constant regardless of the wavelength, where φ1(λ) is the phase produced by the first optical multi/demultiplexing device, 2πφΔL(λ) is the phase difference of the optical delay line with an optical path length difference of ΔL, and 2πφ2(λ) is the phase produced by the second optical multi/demultiplexing device.

    摘要: In an optical interferometer, polarization dependence attributable to the optical path difference has conventionally been eliminated by inserting a half-wave plate at the center of the interferometer. However, light induced by polarization coupling produced in directional couplers used in the optical interferometer causes interference having different interference conditions from those of the normal light. Polarization rotators that effect any one of 90° rotation and −90° rotation of all states of polarization of incoming light are inserted in the optical interferometer, and thereby the interference conditions of light induced by polarization coupling are made the same as those of the normal light. Each of the polarization rotators is implemented by using two half-wave plates and by varying an angle of combination of these half-wave plates. Alternatively, each of the polarization rotators is implemented through a combination of one half-wave plate and a waveguide having birefringence properties.
