Abstract:
An optical signal processing device is described herein for reducing electric wirings in an optical switch or an optical filter realized using an optical waveguide. The optical signal processing device includes an optical waveguide formed on a substrate. In the optical signal processing device, the optical waveguide includes at least one input port and at least one output port, a plurality of driven elements are provided including a phase shifter that produces a phase shift to an optical signal from the input port, each of the driven elements includes at least two control terminals, control wirings are provided to have control signals being time-division synchronized applied between the two control terminals, and the control wiring for accessing the driven element is shared by the plurality of driven elements.
