The embodiment of the invention provides a
wavelength selection switch, an optical switching node and a communication
system, which can reduce the number of devices included in the
wavelength selection switch and improve the integration level of the
wavelength selection switch. The wavelength selective switch comprises an input
optical fiber, a lens group, a dispersion unit, an optical switching engine and an output
optical fiber array, wherein the dispersion unit comprises an optical metasurface structure; the input
optical fiber is used for transmitting input light beams to the lens group; the lens group is used for collimating an input
light beam to obtain a
first light beam and transmitting the
first light beam to the dispersion unit; the optical metasurface structure is used for decomposing the
first light beam to obtain multiple paths of second light beams, and the optical metasurface structure is further used for collimating the multiple paths of second light beams to transmit the collimated multiple paths of second light beams to the optical switching engine; the optical switching engine is used for deflecting the transmission direction of each second
light beam in the multiple paths of second light beams so as to obtain multiple paths of output light beams, and the multiple paths of output light beams are used for being output through the output optical
fiber array.
