A multiwavelength switch is provided. The switch includes at least one optical input for receiving an optical beam and at least two optical outputs. A dispersion element receives the optical beam from the optical input and spatially separates the optical beam into a plurality of wavelength components. A collimating element is provided for collimating the plurality of wavelength components. An actuatable optical arrangement receives the collimated plurality of wavelength components from the collimating element. The actuatable optical arrangement includes a digital micromirror device (DMD) from which at least one wavelength component is reflected at least twice before being directed to a selected one of optical outputs.

L'invention concerne un commutateur de multiples longueurs d'onde. Le commutateur comprend au moins une entrée optique pour recevoir un faisceau optique et au moins deux sorties optiques. Un élément de dispersion reçoit le faisceau optique provenant de l'entrée optique, et sépare dans l'espace le faisceau optique en une pluralité de composantes de longueur d'onde. Un élément de collimation est fourni pour collimater la pluralité de composantes de longueur d'onde. Un agencement optique actionnable reçoit la pluralité collimatée de composantes de longueur d'onde à partir de l'élément de collimation. L'agencement optique actionnable comprend un dispositif de micromiroir numérique (DMD) à partir duquel au moins une composante de longueur d'onde est réfléchie au moins deux fois avant d'être dirigée vers une sortie optique sélectionnée parmi les sorties optiques.
