PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical monitoring system that can be used to monitor an energy storage, power generation systems, and other such devices and systems.SOLUTION: An optical coupler 140 includes: at least one input waveguide 141; and a plurality of output waveguides 142. The optical coupler 140 spatially disperses optical signals carried on the input waveguide 141 according to wavelength to the output waveguides. The input waveguides 141 and the output waveguides 142 are arranged to provide crosstalk between optical signals carried on the output waveguides 142.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】エネルギ貯蔵装置、発電システム並びに他のそのような装置及びシステムなどの監視に使用することができる光学監視システムを提供する。【解決手段】光結合器１４０は、少なくとも１つの入射導波路１４１と、複数の出射導波路１４２とを含む。光結合器１４０は、波長に応じて出射導波路１４２に対して入射導波路１４１上で伝搬された光学信号を空間的に分散させる。入射導波路１４１及び出射導波路１４２は、出射導波路１４２上で伝搬された光学信号間にクロストークを提供するように配置されている。【選択図】図１
