s100: incident light reaches the first wide-angle filter;
s200: the light with the specified wavelength passing through the first large-angle optical filter passes through a first wedge angle sheet corresponding to the first large-angle optical filter, is deflected into transmitted light with a small angle, and is coupled into a corresponding output collimator on the first output collimator assembly; the light with other wavelengths passing through the first large-angle filter is reflected to a corresponding second large-angle filter;
s300: the light with the designated wavelength reflected to the second large-angle optical filter is deflected into small-angle transmitted light through the corresponding second wedge angle sheet and is coupled into the corresponding output collimator on the second output collimator assembly; the light with the rest wavelengths reflected to the second large-angle filter is reflected to a third large-angle filter corresponding to the second large-angle filter through the second large-angle filter;
s400: the light with the specified wavelength reflected to the third large-angle filter is deflected into small-angle transmitted light through the corresponding third wedge angle piece and is coupled into the corresponding output collimator on the first output collimator assembly; the light with the rest wavelengths reflected to the third large-angle filter is reflected to the corresponding fourth large-angle filter through the third large-angle filter.
