Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/210234
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To achieve, with a simple configuration, a variable optical attenuator that is capable of individually adjusting the amount of light that propagates through a plurality of cores. [Solution] A variable optical attenuator 10 which receives input of light that propagates through a first optical fiber 41 having a plurality of cores, which individually adjusts the amount of light that has propagated through each core, and which outputs the light to a second optical fiber 42 having a plurality of cores. The variable optical attenuator 10 comprises a separation optical system 11, 12 that spatially separates a plurality of light beams emitted into a space from the plurality of cores of the first optical fiber 41, and optical attenuation means 15(a), 15(b) that are capable of individually adjusting that attenuation amount of the plurality of light beams separated by the separation optical system 11, 12.
