The invention discloses a lossless switching
magneto-
optical switch and a wave plate included angle adjusting method, and belongs to the field of
optics, a first polarization splitting
prism decomposes parallel light into p light and s light, a first half-wave plate rotates the p light
clockwise by 135 degrees and rotates the s light anticlockwise by 45 degrees, and a second half-wave plate rotates the p light
clockwise by 135 degrees and rotates the s light anticlockwise by 45 degrees; the 1 / 4 wave plate converts the change of the rotation angle of the Faraday
optical rotation crystal into the phase
delay change of polarized light, the Faraday
optical rotation crystal enables light of a main light path to rotate by 45 degrees
clockwise or anticlockwise by applying magnetic fields in different directions, two weak light paths are generated at the same time, and the
full wave plate reduces the phase
delay change of the polarized light and eliminates
angular dispersion of the Faraday
optical rotation crystal. The second polarization splitting
prism combines the light of the two main light paths and combines the light of the two weak light paths, when the light channels are switched, the strong light and the weak light are coupled into different channels, the sum of the energy of the two output ends is always in a
stable state before and after switching is completed, and the switching efficiency is improved. The 1 / 4 wave plate and the
full wave plate solve the problem of optical
crosstalk in an optical
transmission system.
