    Abstract: PURPOSE: To eliminate the speed limitation of switching, due to the work-off effects of control light and signal light by additionally introducing the another control light, having suitable time delay for the existent control light. CONSTITUTION: This device is provided with a beam splitter 6 for splitting the control light provided from a control light source 3 into two control beams Ic1 and Ic2 in the ratio of 50:50, delayer 7 and mirror 8 for making one of two control beams incident to a 2nd wavelength divided optical fiber coupler 5, after delaying it for prescribed time in order to keep the difference between the transmission time of one of two control beams and the transmission time of the other signal beam. Thus, the other control beam Ic2 having the same intensity as one control beam, while keeping a suitable delay time for the control beam Ic1 to be used, is added from the conventional non-linear loop mirror structure, and a switching window having the same width as that time delay period is opened. Namely, the size of the switching window is unrelated to the work-off between control light and signal light.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a crossover plane integrated optical system on a wafer scale with a high array degree and a crossover plane integrated optical system which can reduce the path difference of a light signal generated between a straight connection and a cross connection on the basis of the plane integration technology of an optical system making good use of lithography technology for electronic integrated circuit manufacture. CONSTITUTION: This system includes a plane mirror 17 for light reflection and a lower optical substrate 1a for the transmission of an input light signal which is formed on the plane mirror 17, a polarization beam splitter 14 which is formed at the center part of the surface of the lower optical substrate 1a and splits the input light signal into two, and an upper optical substrate 1b which is formed on the surface of the lower optical substrate 1a and polarization beam splitter 14. The upper optical substrate 1b includes an acute prism (Prism) 13 formed above the polarization beam splitter 14, two lenses 12 and 15 which are formed on both the sides of the acute prism 13, and an input end 11 and an output end 16 which are arranges outside two lenses 12 and 15 respectively.
