WAVELENGTH SELECTIVE OPTICAL SWITCH

摘要

The device includes a first and a second optical circulator having an input portand an output port that are the inputs and the outputs of the switch, as well as an optical bandpass filter placed between the two circulators and connected with means for switching its state so that the filter either reflects or transmits a given wavelength, thus allowing a carrier with this wavelength at the input port of one of the circulators to reach the output port of the samecirculator or the output port of the other circulator.
