Abstract:
An optical interleaver comprising:an input port to receive an input light beam; a group of optical elements for decomposing said input light beam into a first light beam including a first set of wavelengths represented by &lgr;1, &lgr;3, &lgr;5, . . . , &lgr;n and a second light beam including of a second set of wavelengths represented by &lgr;2, &lgr;4, &lgr;6, . . . , &lgr;nâˆ’1, wherein said first light beam and said second light beam transmitted respectively in a first and second optical paths, and said group of optical elements further decomposing and generating two sets of mutually orthogonally polarized and parallel beam-components from said first beam and second beam; and an incline angle means coupled to said group of optical elements for projecting said two sets of mutually orthogonally polarized and parallel beam-components for said first and second beam respectively with a first incline angle and a second incline angle relative to an optical axis of said interleaver.
