Abstract:
An optical module that outputs a wavelength multiplexed optical signal is disclosed. The optical module provides at least first to third optical source, a wavelength multiplexer, a polarization rotator, and a polarization multiplexer. The optical sources each outputting first to third optical signals with a wavelength different from others. The wavelength multiplexer multiplexes the first optical signal with the third optical signal. The polarization rotator rotates the polarization vector of one of the multiplexed first and third optical signals and the second signal by substantially 90°. The polarization multiplexer multiplexes the polarization rotated optical signal with the second optical signal.
