<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wavelength selection switch capable of expanding a transmission band without changing a beam diameter. <P>SOLUTION: The wavelength selection switch (500) includes: at least one input part (501) for making wavelength-multiplexed light be incident; a dispersion element (503) for receiving light from the input part (501) and dispersing the light; a condensing element (504) for condensing dispersed light dispersed by wavelength; a light deflection member (505) provided with a plurality of reflective optical elements (101) capable of deflecting the dispersed light from the condensing element (504) independently by wavelength; and at least one output part (501) for receiving the dispersed light deflected by the light deflection member (505). On at least a part of the end part in the direction of dispersion by the dispersion element (503) of at least one of the plurality of reflective optical elements (101), an area of high reflectance relative to the center area of the reflective optical element is formed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
