An integrated optical circulator comprising at least two single-fiber bidirectional optical fiber interfaces, a refractive element group, an optical isolation element group, and an optical fiber array, wherein the refractive element group and the optical isolation element group are sequentially arranged on a same optical path; incident signal light from each optical fiber interface sequentially passes through the refractive element group and the optical isolation element group, then is output by a corresponding outgoing optical fiber of the optical fiber array; incident signal light from each incident optical fiber of the optical fiber array sequentially passes through the optical isolation element group and the refractive element group, then is emitted by a corresponding optical fiber interface. Multiple optical circulators are integrated within the volume of a same optical circulator, reducing the volume occupied by optical circulators, lowering overall cost of the device, and improving convenience of optical path integration.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to method and device for measuring optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR). A method for measuring an OSNR of a signal of interest may comprise: obtaining spectrum of the signal of interest, the spectrum including power spectrum density distribution of the signal of interest in a channel bandwidth B; obtaining spectrum of a comparative signal that has the same spectrum characteristics as but different OSNR than the signal of interest, the spectrum including power spectrum density distribution of the comparative signal in the channel bandwidth B; and calculating the OSNR of the signal of interest by using the spectrum of the signal of interest and the spectrum of a comparative signal.

Method and device for measuring optical signal-to-noise ratio

A multicast optical switch based on free-space transmission comprises a 1&#xd7;M input collimator array, a light splitting device, an optical distance compensation device, a spot transformation device, a 1&#xd7;N output collimator array and a reflector array which are arranged in sequence. The 1&#xd7;N output collimator array corresponds to reflector array. The light splitting device is provided with a light splitting surface and a reflection surface, and by means of light splitting surface and reflection surface, light splitting and beam splitting of n times are carried out on input signals of 1&#xd7;M input collimator array, and then N beams of sub-signal light are generated. The optical distance compensation device compensates optical distance differences among M&#xd7;N sub-signal light beams produced by light splitting device. The M&#xd7;N sub-signal light beams are focused to be 1&#xd7;N light spots through light spot conversion device, and then 1&#xd7;N light spots are reflected to reflector array.

Multicast optical switch based on free-space transmission

A wavelength selective switch (WSS) with hitless switching. The WSS includes the fiber collimator array, the focusing lens, collimating lens, diffraction grating, focusing lens, and attenuation reflection unit array. Each attenuation reflection unit has an interconnected transmission-type MEMS attenuator and a one-dimension MEMS reflector. The transmission-type MEMS attenuator is positioned in the front of the one-dimension MEMS reflector. The central axis of the transmission-type MEMS attenuator aligns and coincides with that of the one-dimension MEMS reflector, with the two central axes being glued together. The WSS of the present invention effectively utilizes the combination of a one-dimension reflector array and a transmission-type optical attenuator chip. With the use of one-dimension reflector array, instead of the known two-dimension reflector array, the complexity of design and manufacture is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the production costs of the switch.
