    Abstract: A spatial light modulator is provided, including a backplane inside which a drive circuit is disposed, a phase adjustment unit, an electrode, and an electrical connection portion. The phase adjustment unit includes a lower cavity mirror, a cavity layer, and an upper cavity mirror, and the lower cavity mirror is located between the cavity layer and the backplane. The electrode includes a first electrode and a second electrode, and the electrode is located inside or on a surface of the phase adjustment unit, and is located on a side that is of the lower cavity mirror and that faces away from the backplane. The electrical connection portion is electrically connected to the electrode and the drive circuit, to form a drive electric field between the first electrode and the second electrode, and adjust a refractive index of the phase adjustment unit.

    Abstract: This application provides a tunable optical add/drop multiplexer T-OADM. A beam adjustment apparatus changes an incident angle at which an incident beam is emitted onto an optical filter. After the optical filter splits the incident beam into a transmitted beam and a reflected beam, the beam adjustment apparatus further adjusts a transmission direction of the transmitted beam emergent from the optical filter and a transmission direction of the reflected beam emergent from the optical filter, so that the transmitted beam and the reflected beam are output to corresponding ports, so as to implement a flexible and controllable T-OADM apparatus. This application may be applied to the optical communication field, for example, may be used to implement add/drop multiplexing of tributary signals in an optical domain in fields such as a long-haul backbone and a metropolitan area network.
