    摘要: Disclosed is an apparatus, including an isolator wavelength division multiplexer (IWDM). A signal-fiber is optically coupled to a first side of the WDM-Isolator core. The signal-fiber is configured to propagate signal light. A pump-fiber defines an expanded tip optically coupled to the WDM-Isolator core. The pump-fiber is configured to propagate pump light. A common-fiber is optically coupled to the WDM-Isolator core. The common-fiber is configured to propagate a combination of the signal light and the pump light. The WDM-Isolator core is configured to transmit the signal light to the common-fiber and to reflect the pump light into the common-fiber.

    摘要: The optical coupler is a multimode interference type optical coupler that couples a plurality of laser lights of different wavelengths. The optical coupler includes an optical coupling main body, two input taper portions which are tapered input ports that are disposed on the input side of the optical coupling main body and of which the width of each becomes narrower as it is away from a connection end with the optical coupling main body, and one output taper portion which is a tapered output port that is disposed on the output side of the optical coupling main body and of which the width becomes narrower as it is away from a connection end with the optical coupling main body.

    摘要: An M×N wavelength selective switch (WSS) for an optical communication system includes: a first port array consisting of M ports for emitting/receiving beams, where M is a natural number equal to or greater than 2; a second port array consisting of N ports for emitting/receiving beams, where N is a natural number equal to or greater than 2; a dispersion element configured to split each beam at different angles according to different wavelength components on a dispersion plane; an imaging lens configured to readjust and focus the wavelengths of the beams split by the dispersion element; and a unitary switching element that includes a first switching part and a second switching part, the first and second switching parts being physically combined to form one integral component, the first switching part being configured to steer the beams independently on a switching plane such that angles of the beams are controlled according to wavelengths thereof, the second switching part being configured to steer beams independently on the switching plane such that a desired port in the second port array receives a beam from a corresponding port in the first port array.

    摘要: A first portion of incoming light and a second portion of incoming light travel in opposite directions within a first optical waveguide. A ring resonator in-couples the first portion of incoming light and the second portion of incoming light from the first optical waveguide, such that the first portion of incoming light and the second portion of incoming light travel in opposite directions within the ring resonator. A second optical waveguide is disposed to in-couple the first portion of incoming light and the second portion of incoming light couple from the ring resonator, such that the first portion of incoming light and the second portion of incoming light travel in opposite directions within the second optical waveguide away from the ring resonator. One or more photodetector(s) are optically connected to receive the first portion of incoming light and the second portion of incoming light from the second optical waveguide.
