Patent attributes
An optical cross-connect disclosed herein includes an input-end unit, an optical beam-splitting and switching unit, and an output-end unit. The input-end unit is configured to transmit a set of first light beams to the optical beam-splitting and switching unit. The optical beam-splitting and switching unit is configured to split each light beam in the set of first light beams into second light beams, to obtain a set of second light beams. The optical beam-splitting and switching unit is further configured to: perform optical path deflection on each light beam in the set of second light beams based on a preset optical-path offset parameter set, and transmit, to the output-end unit, the deflected second light beams. The output-end unit is configured to output the set of second light beams.
