Abstract
A wavelength selective switch includes a polarization controller to control a polarization controller configured to control a polarization plane of a first optical signal as wavelength-multiplexed light input through a first input port, and control a polarization plane of a second optical signal as wavelength-multiplexed light input through a second input port such that the polarization plane of the second optical signal is aligned in a direction perpendicular to the polarization plane of the first optical signal, a demultiplexer to demultiplex optical signals multiplexed in the first and the second optical signals, a polarization separator to separate, an optical collector to collect the optical signals separated by the polarization separator, an optical signal reflector to reflect each of the optical signals collected by the optical collector; and a reflection controller to control the optical signal reflector in accordance with an incident position of the optical signal.
