| Abstract: | Optical switches are useful for various optical systems. This paper describes a new form of optical transmission system, using 1 × 6 optical switch with built-in optical multiplexer. The insertion loss of the optical switch was 3.1 dB (including filter loss of 1.4 dB). This switch is useful for a traffic monitoring system, and its transmission characteristics were measured. The measured signal-to-noise ratio is 44 dB when the switch is applied to a 2-km video transmission line. |
