Abstract:
A wavelength selective switch includes an attenuation liquid crystal cell array and a switching liquid crystal cell array, the attenuation liquid crystal cell array is configured to select a region where a light is incident on the switching liquid crystal cell array; the switching liquid crystal cell array includes a first ECB liquid crystal cell array, which is divided into a plurality of pixel units, a phase of each pixel unit is adjusted by setting different voltages so that a phase pattern formed by the pixel units exhibits a lens property, and the light passing through the switching liquid crystal cell array is deflected by changing a center of the lens formed by the phase pattern, so as to select an outgoing port.

Claim (Index 4):
The wavelength selective switch of  claim 3 , further comprising: an alignment input/output device, a polarization beam splitting device, a beam expanding device, a dispersion device, and a focusing device,\n the alignment input/output device is configured to collimate an input optical signal; the polarization beam splitting device is configured to convert the light collimated by the alignment input/output device into linearly polarized beam; the beam expanding device is configured to expand the linearly polarized beam converted by the polarization beam splitting device; the dispersion device is configured to disperse the beam expanded by the beam expanding device into single-channel optical signals distributed according to the wavelength; the focusing device is configured to focus the single-channel optical signal dispersed by the dispersion device onto the attenuation liquid crystal cell array and parallelly return an optical signal of each port to the alignment input/output device.
