ABSTRACT:
A plurality of optical fibers each introducing an optical signal are connected to a side surface of a fluorescent optical fiber. In response to a light beam provided from the optical fiber, fluorescent light is generated in the fluorescent optical fiber. The fluorescent light is transmitted through the fluorescent optical fiber and detected by a photodetector disposed on at least one end face of the fluorescent optical fiber. An output electric signal from the photodetector represents a mixing result of the optical signals introduced by the plurality of optical fibers.
