ABSTRACT:
An integrated optical device is provided for distributing optical pump energy. The device includes at least one input port for receiving optical energy, a plurality of output ports, and a user configurable optical network coupled to the input port for distributing the optical energy among the output ports in a prescribed manner in conformance with a user-selected configuration.
