<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lossless optical splitter and system, which process an optical signal into a plurality of optical output signals without excessive loss. <P>SOLUTION: The system that process an optical signal into a plurality of optical output signals includes a laser that generates the optical signal along an optical signal path, and includes a step type optical splitter circuit formed by an incident optical fiber and an optical waveguide to which laser ions that diverge into a plurality of output optical signals. An optical pump source sends out an optical pump signal via the step type optical splitter circuit, excites erbium, and disperses gain through the optical splitter. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
