| 摘要 |
An acousto-optical add/drop multiplexer includes an acousto-optical switch (8) including a first optical port (202) coupled to a first polarization splitter, at least one polarization converter coupled between the first polarization splitter and a second polarization splitter, and second and third optical ports (203) and (205) coupled to the second splitter. A first circulator (7) is coupled to the first optical port, a mirror (13) is coupled to the second optical port, and a second circulator (12) is coupled to the third optical port. A wavelength selective optical cross-connect may be realized by coupling two such acousto-optical add/drop multiplexers by a single optical fiber to their respective third optical ports. |
