Patent CA-2527624-C (CA)
Inventor: LE HORS LENAIC ALBAN
IPC: G02B6/27
Filed: 2005-11-15
Granted: 2015-08-04
Abstract: An optical separation device is designed to have two distinct wave length radiations as input (E) (.lambda.1, .lambda.2). The device includes a polarisation splitter (2) designed to selectively transmit a part of the radiation having one of the wave lengths (.lambda.2). towards a first (S1) or a second (S2) output, based on one polarisation (s, p) of the said radiation. The device also includes a polarisation variation system (1) located upstream from the polarisation splitter (2). The association of the polarisation variation device (1) and of the polarisation splitter (2) allows the distribution of the radiation energy to be adjusted between the two outputs of the device (S1, S2). Such a separation device is advantageously incorporated into an optical communications terminal.
