Patent attributes
An optical demultiplexing device includes a light source, a demultiplexer, a plurality of converters, a detector, a switch, and a controller, wherein the demultiplexer includes a plurality of asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometers (AMZ) each of which lengths of a pair of arms are different from each other, the plurality of AMZs are coupled to each other so that a plurality of wavelength lights input from the light source is demultiplexed and respectively output to the converters different from each other, and the controller controls the light source so that the plurality of wavelength lights is sequentially input to the demultiplexer one by one, and controls the switch so that an electrical signal detected by the detector is output to an output destination according to a wavelength light of a conversion source of the electrical signal.
