ABSTRACT:
In a device for mixing a first input optical signal and a second input optical signal, a polarization beam splitter receives the first and second input optical signals. Each of the first and second input optical signals is separated into polarized optical signals having different polarization planes. Each polarized optical signal is divided into divided optical signals being transmitted in directions with an acute crossed angle in a mixer which mixes the divided optical signals corresponding to the first and second input optical signals. The mixed optical signals are then focused.
