Abstract
The light which is input from an optical fiber to a first port is output to an optical path. The light which is input from the optical path to a half mirror is branched into two, and is output to the optical paths. The light which is output to the optical path reaches to and is reflected from a first reflecting mirror, and returns to the half mirror by an optical path. The light which is input to the half mirror by the optical path is branched into two, and is output to the optical paths. The light which is output to the optical path reaches to and is reflected from a second reflecting mirror, and returns to the half mirror by an optical path. The light which is input to the half mirror by the optical path is branched into two, and is output to the optical paths. The light which is output to the optical path is output from a second port to an optical fiber, and the light which is output to the optical path is output from a third port to an optical fiber.
