Abstract:
An optical device includes an optical port array, an optical arrangement, a dispersion element, a focusing element and a programmable optical phase modulator. The optical port array has at least one optical input port for receiving an optical beam and a plurality of optical output ports. The optical arrangement allows optical coupling between the input port and each of the output ports and prevents optical coupling between any one of the plurality of optical output ports and any other of the plurality of optical output ports. The dispersion element receives the optical beam from the input port after traversing the optical arrangement and spatially separates the optical beam into a plurality of wavelength components. The focusing element focuses the plurality of wavelength components. The programmable optical phase modulator receives the focused plurality of wavelength components and steers them to a selected one of the optical outputs.

Claim (Index 4):
The optical device of  claim 1 , wherein the optical arrangement includes: at least one walkoff crystal for spatially separating the optical beams received from any of the ports in optical port array into first and second optical components being arranged in first and second polarization states, respectively; a first composite half-wave plate for arranging the first optical components into the second polarization state; a Faraday rotator and a second composite half-wave plate, the Faraday rotator and the second composite half-wave plate rotating the spatially separated optical beams received from the optical input port via the first composite half-wave plate into the first polarization state and rotating the spatially separated optical beams received from the plurality of optical output ports into the second orthogonal polarization state.
