Optical path switching device for high-speed broadband optical communication system, comprises core whose end surfaces are arranged in matrix form at respective end surfaces of cladding

摘要

A core (11) embedded in a cladding (12) constitutes an optical path extending from one core end surface (11a) to another core end surface (11b) through a mirror surface (13). The core end surfaces are arranged in matrix form at respective end surfaces (12a,12b) of the cladding. An Independent claim is also included for optical path switching device manufacturing method.
