Abstract

A high speed optical switch into relating polarization is disclosed whose characteristics is its structure: the driving device includes by circular mirror comprising of the third terminal port and the forth terminal port on one side of a coupler connecting together and a controlling device being put into the circular mirror ; the first terminal port of the is connecting to the second terminal port of three terminal ports circulator whose first terminal port is input terminal and the third terminal port is the first output terminal of the switch, the second terminal port is the second output terminal; the coupler circulator and circular mirror are all fixed on one. The advantages are rapid response speed, unconcerned to polarization and broad band response, simple structure, reliable and stable operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical switch, in particular to a polarization-independent high-speed optical switch. Background technique [0002] The optical switch is an indispensable basic device for switching or logic operation in the signal path of the optical transmission line and the integrated optical circuit. Widely used in optical communication systems, optical network systems, optical fiber measurement systems and optical fiber sensing systems and other fields. [0003] In the prior art, there are many types of optical fiber and optical waveguide switches. Currently, the more common optical switches can be roughly divided into mechanical optical switches, M-Z interference optical switches, and Y-branch optical switches in terms of structure. Due to different structural characteristics, the above types of optical switches have their own advantages in terms of isolation, switching speed, and polarization correlation, but also have certain short...
