Abstract

An optical interconnector (915) includes: a first vertical coupled cavity (100), a first optical waveguide (102), and a second optical waveguide (103). The first vertical coupled cavity (100) includes N identical micro-resonant cavities that are equidistantly stacked, where a center of each micro-resonant cavity is located on a first straight line that is perpendicular to a plane on which the micro-resonant cavity is located, the first optical waveguide (102) and a first micro-resonant cavity (11) are in a same plane, the second optical waveguide (103) and a second micro-resonant cavity (13) are in a same plane, the first optical waveguide (102) is an input optical waveguide, the second optical waveguide (103) is a first output optical waveguide, and an optical signal having a first resonant wavelength in the first optical waveguide (102) enters the second optical waveguide (103) through the first vertical coupled cavity (100).
