Patent

CA 2257995

The invention pertains to an optical switch matrix comprising n input channels, branching means for dividing the input channels up into p branched channels, merging means for merging the p branched channels into m output channels, and optical fibres for connecting the output channels of the branching means with the input channels of the merging means, wherein n, m and p are natural numbers greater than or equal to 2, and wherein the branching means, the fibres, and the merging means are each attached to a separate substrate or a separate group of substrates. The optical switching matrix according to the invention is very compact and allows efficient use of the materials available for the manufacture thereof.

Matrice de commutation optique comprenant un nombre n de canaux d'entrée, des moyens de branchement permettant de diviser les canaux d'entrée en un nombre p de canaux ramifiés, des moyens de fusionnement permettant de fusionner les p canaux ramifiés en m canaux de sortie et des fibres optiques permettant de connecter les canaux de sortie des moyens de branchement aux canaux d'entrée des moyens de fusionnement, n, m et p étant des nombres naturels supérieurs ou égal à 2, et les moyens de branchement, les fibres et les moyens de fusionnement étant fixés à un substrat séparé ou à un groupe séparé de substrats. La matrice de commutation optique selon l'invention est très compacte et permet une utilisation efficace des matériaux destinés à sa fabrication.
