OPTICAL INTEGRATING NANODEVICE Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC G02F7/00 B82B1/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: nanodevice has a constant optical signal source, two optical nanofibres of a coupler, an optical nanofibre three-output splitter, two telescopic nanotubes: internal and external, an optical nanofibre N-output splitter, an optical N-input nanofibre coupler and an optical fibre. The input of the device is the first input of the first optical nanofibre coupler. The input of the "initial state setting" device is the first input of the second optical nanofibre coupler. The telescopic nanotubes lie between outputs of the first and second optical nanofibre couplers on the propagation axis of their output optical signals. The second output of the optical nanofibre three-output splitter is the output of the device.

EFFECT: integration of coherent and incoherent optical signals with high speed operation, potentially possible for optical processor circuits, and nanosize design.
