Abstract

An optical switch of 2X2 monolithic crystal suitable for optical internet and optical computing fields applies a crystal of long parallel hexahedron in the middle of which set a pair of electrodes along the crystal light shaft to make up a photoelectric modulation region in the middle of the crystal. The photoelectric modulation region from the crystal beam input face to the middle position is the light beam joining region and the light splitting region is from behind the photoelectric modulation region to the crystal optical beam output face, so as to realize three functions of input beam polarizing, deflection and beams joining, output beam polarizing, deflection and bean splitting and photoelectric modulation, integrating basic performance necessary for 2X2 optical switch.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention is a single crystal 2×2 optical switch, which is a key device of an optical switching network system and is applied in the fields of optical Internet, optical computing and the like. Background technique: [0002] Optical switching, as the main component of the optical communication network, needs to be able to process information with a total amount of hundreds or thousands of terabit seconds. A 2×2 optical switch is the most basic unit device in an optical switching system. Multiple 2×2 optical switch arrays are cascaded in different forms to form various optical switching network systems. The 2×2 optical switch switching network is also used to form an optically interconnected multiprocessor computer system.
