  2. Slotted optical switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slotted_optical_switch

    The slotted optical switch, sometimes known as opto switch or optical switch but not to be confused with the optical component, is a device comprising a photoemitter (e.g. LED) and a photodetector (e.g. photodiode) mounted in a single package so that the photoemitter normally illuminates the photodetector, but an opaque object can be inserted in a slot between them so as to break the beam.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics_Software_for_Layout...

    The OSLO software is used by scientists and engineers to design lenses, reflectors, optical instruments, laser collimators, and illumination systems. It is also used for simulation and analysis of optical systems using both geometrical and physical optics. In addition to optical design and analysis, OSLO provides a complete technical software ...

  5. Optical transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_transistor

    An optical transistor, also known as an optical switch or a light valve, is a device that switches or amplifies optical signals.Light occurring on an optical transistor's input changes the intensity of light emitted from the transistor's output while output power is supplied by an additional optical source.

  6. Automatically switched optical network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatically_switched...

    The Transport Plane contains a number of switches (optical or otherwise) responsible for transporting user data via connections. These switches are connected to each other via PI (Physical Interface). The Control Plane is responsible for the actual resource and connection management within an ASON network. It consists of a series of OCC ...

  7. Wavelength selective switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength_Selective_Switching

    It is likely that in future two WSS could use the same optical module utilizing different wavelength processing regions of a single matrix switch such as LCoS, [6] [7] provided that the issues associated with device isolation are able to be appropriately addressed. Channel selectivity ensures only wavelengths required to be dropped locally (up ...

  8. Optoelectronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optoelectronics

    Optoelectronic devices are electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical transducers, or instruments that use such devices in their operation. [ 1 ] Electro-optics is often erroneously used as a synonym, but is a wider branch of physics that concerns all interactions between light and electric fields , regardless of whether they form part of ...

  9. Optical cross-connect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_cross-connect

    An optical cross-connect (OXC) is a device used by telecommunications carriers to switch high-speed optical signals in a fiber optic network, such as an optical mesh network. In the 1980s, when transmission speeds supported by optical fibers increased from 45 Mbit/s to 2.5 Gbit/s , carrier networks developed and introduced digital cross ...
