Abstract
An optical device includes a first fiber; a liquid crystal member configured to have liquid crystal pixels that reflect light output from the first fiber; a second fiber configured to have a core to which a first order light ray in the light reflected by the liquid crystal member is optically connected; a light receiving circuit configured to receive higher order light rays in the light reflected by the liquid crystal member; and a control circuit configured to control based on a light receiving result of the light receiving circuit, efficiency of optical connection of the first order light ray to the core of the second fiber, by varying an angle of the light reflected by the liquid crystal member.
