Description

Wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer with varied propagation constant
Technical field
The present invention relates to comprise the light communication system of multiplexer and demultiplexer.Multiplexer and demultiplexer are determined its route according to wavelength of optical signal.
Background
The wavelength optical signals of transmitting in each root optical fiber can be delivered to it in simple optical fiber with a wavelength multiplexer, with a wavelength demultiplexer it is delivered in each root optical fiber again then.Usually, the device that uses in the operation of multiplexed and demultiplexing must be reversible, and therefore, same device plays multiplexer in a transmission direction function then plays the function of demultiplexer in opposite transmission direction.
In multiplexed and demultiplexing device, carry out two major functions, i.e. chromatic dispersion and convergence.The chromatic dispersion function is from the space the signal of different wave length (being called as channel) to be made a distinction, and convergence function is to transmit signal according to the chromatic dispersion of signal between input and output waveguide.
Usually, same optical element can be carried out two kinds of functions.For example, some multiplexed and demultiplexer spare adopts reflecting diffraction grating not only signal to be carried out chromatic dispersion but also signal is assembled.Diffraction is the mechanism of chromatic dispersion, and grating curvature provides convergence.Other this device that is known as " phase measuring device " makes the central waveguide interconnection of input and output waveguide and a plurality of length gradual changes.The phase front that the gradual change of waveguide length produces with wavelength variations tilts.The central waveguide that has angle to arrange provides convergence.
On the other hand, can adopt discrete lens or catoptron that convergence function is provided.Alleviate this auxiliary requirement, can simplify dispersion element.For example, can adopt plane diffraction grating to substitute the curved surface diffraction grating, perhaps can adopt the central waveguide that parallel central waveguide substitutes has angle to arrange.
Because design criteria becomes stricter, for example need the more intensive channel of loss minimum, lower cost and littler size, that the current multiplexer and the design of demultiplexer become is more and more difficult, it is more and more higher to make cost.The diffraction grating price of pinpoint accuracy is especially expensive, and the required etching workload of phase measuring device is especially time-consuming.
Usually, for fear of material component deviation and other dimensional discrepancy that in the duct propagation characteristic, can produce undesirable variation, must be very careful.For example, No. 5450511 United States Patent (USP) of Dragone shows that the variation of propagation constant can cause the phase error of the light signal that multiplexed and demultiplexing device is transmitted, and causes the cross-talk of interchannel to increase, and reduces the efficient of device.
Brief summary of the invention
Different with the opinion that must avoid propagation constant to change, the present invention utilizes gradually changing of propagation constant that the function of the chromatic dispersion in wavelength multiplexer and the demultiplexer is provided.The new mechanism of this realization wavelength dispersion can be used to reduce physical size and simplify these preparation of devices.
One embodiment of the present of invention comprise the useful feature that the input and output light path is interconnected mutually by chromatic dispersion and convergent component.As a demultiplexer, input light path directly transmits a plurality of channels of being distinguished by wavelength, and each channel is transmitted in the output light path footpath respectively.Dispersion element is a central optical path, it from input light path directly receive a plurality of channels as a plurality of parallel waves before, and the wavefront that is transformed into a plurality of relative tilts before a plurality of parallel waves.Convergent component directly guides the wavefront of these relative tilts along different output light paths.Yet the present invention is not that the waveguide with diffraction or variable-length makes the wavefront relative tilt, but for to cross the setted wavelength of the direction of wavefront by the central waveguide direction of propagation by central waveguide, central path of the present invention shows different propagation constants.
The change propagation constant can in all sorts of ways.These methods comprise the core size that changes central waveguide, and the refractive index value that changes core and covering.The index distribution of core is also illustrated in the propagation constant of non-step-refraction index distribution.For example, to the given variation of core size or peak value refractive index, can be chosen as the rate of change that increases propagation constant to index distribution.
Central path can or be formed by a plurality of discrete waveguides (or optical fiber) or by a common waveguide.The two all comprise by covering around core segment.The core segment of discrete waveguide can change its width, thickness and cross sectional shape, and the core segment of common waveguide can change its thickness.Can also change the thickness of surrounding layer.Can utilize doping or other changes in material to change between each waveguide or the refractive index value of core on the common waveguide and covering.
Preferably, reflective optical devices is positioned at an end of central path, and a compacter design is provided.By the retroreflection of central path, in the same space of central path, make the further relative tilt of wavefront of the relative tilt of different wave length.The input and output path is adjacent mutually.Convergent component is preferably carried out alignment function, the different piece before the guide wave of directional light path.Making the reflective optical devices of wavefront directional light path retroreflection is the plane, and each waveguide of central path is parallel to each other.Yet owing to keep collimation at direction of propagation glazing, parallel path also can extend by common waveguide, without any lateral dispersion.
Light path and chromatic dispersion and convergent component are preferably as the integrated electro road in the planar optical system and form.Element relatively simply designs the technology of preparing that allows to adopt such as " multiple picture ",, by stretching planar substrates control thickness, can obtain more accurate tolerance limit here.Yet the present invention also can be with bulk optical element or plane and bulk optical element combination realization.

Describe in detail
Be to realize the first embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 1-3 with planar optical elements.At the demultiplexer optical propagation direction present embodiment is described, still, on the reverse direction that light is propagated, can plays the function of multiplexer too.In fact, adopting term " multiplexer " and " demultiplexer " only is for present embodiment being used as a function in these possible functions, but does not get rid of another function.
Different wave length (is λ 1To λ n) light signal enter plane demultiplexing optical element 10 and disperse from input waveguide (or optical fiber) 12, to fill up the aperture of converging optical element (collimation lens) 14.Collimate before 14 pairs of divergent waves of converging optical element.Each discrete parts of wavefront propagates into flat reflective optical element 18 by a plurality of parallel waveguides 16, and it is catadioptric to converging optical element 14 with wavefront on return path.Input waveguide 12 preferably is positioned on the optical axis of converging optical element 14, and still, similar principles also can be applicable to off-axis and arranges.
The central path that parallel waveguide 16 forms by planar optical elements 10 is upward shared common length " l in the direction " Z " of front propagation w", still, go up width from " a at orthogonal directions " Y " 1" gradually become " a n".According to following relation, by changing effective refractive index " n Effectively", duct width is from " a 1" arrive " a n" variation change the optical path length " L of different waveguide 16 indirectly i"
Li=n EffectivelyL w
Shown in the figure among Fig. 2, according to the wavelength X of wavefront 1n, on reflective optical devices 18, estimate the optical path length " L that i" variation make the wavefront relative tilt.With position that reflective optical devices 18 overlaps on, the ordinate of figure is crossed over waveguide 16 on " Y " direction, the horizontal ordinate of figure is a unit with phasing degree " φ ".Step line φ (λ 1) representative is λ at wavelength 1Waveguide 16 in the phasing degree " φ " of collecting.Step line φ (λ n) representative is λ at wavelength nWaveguide 16 in the phasing degree " φ " of collecting.Two step line φ (λ 1) and φ (λ n) between differential seat angle represent two wavelength X 1And λ nBetween phase front tilt poor.
According to tilt quantity separately, it is preceding from overlap (the expectation focus of the retroreflection wavefront that is not tilted) focus to output waveguide 20 and 22 with input waveguide 12 that phase front tilts to have changed close echo.For example, wavelength X 1Be focused on the nearer output waveguide 20, and wavelength X nBe focused on the output waveguide far away 22.Certainly, between wavelength X 1And λ nBetween a plurality of wavelength X of the other signal (or channel) of representative can be focused on output waveguide other between waveguide 20 and 22.The number of waveguide 16 can increase to make input waveguide 12 the imaging more accurately of mould field on each output waveguide 20 and 22.
Effective refractive index " the n of each waveguide Effectively" be propagation constant " β " and wave number " k 0" the merchant, be expressed as follows:
Figure A9719157300091
In the formula, wave number " k 0" can be expressed as follows with wavelength: k 0 = 2 π λ
Utilize known technology, can calculate propagation constant " β " by wave equation.For example, can with reference to the wave equation of the following planar optical waveguides of finding by people such as J.P.Meunier (Optical and QuantumElectronics 15, (1983), 77-85):
Figure A9719157300093
In the formula, " m(x) " item is the mould field distribution, and " n (x) " is the index distribution of core.Shown in the sectional view of Fig. 3, the core size " a " and the peak value refractive index value " n of index distribution " n (x) " and distribution shape, core 24 0" and " n of covering 26 Covering" relevant.Two the peak value refractive index value " n in back 0" and " n Covering" being considered to variable " Δ " usually together, it is defined as follows:
Figure A9719157300101
Any one influences the variable of the index distribution " n (x) " of each waveguide 16 in these variablees, also can be used to change propagation constant " β ", and this has changed the effective refractive index " n of waveguide 16 again Effectively" and final optical path length " L i".Optical path length " the L of waveguide 16 on " Y " direction i" progressively deviation produce wavelength X 1And λ nDifferent wavetilt, thereby they are focused in output waveguide 20 and the 22 occupied diverse locations.
Preferably, can regulate the distribution shape of non-step-refraction index waveguide, waveguide dimensions is changed,, the peak value refractive index be changed,, produce the bigger variation of propagation constant " β " as " Δ " as " a ".This has limited physical change amount required between the different waveguide 16.In addition, waveguide is preferably single mode waveguide, thereby can control its optical path length " L better i" poor.
Fig. 4-6 shows two kinds of forms of the second embodiment of the present invention.Novel planar demultiplexing optical element 30 comprises several and planar optical elements 10 components identical, comprises input waveguide 32, collimation optics 34, reflective optical devices 38 and output waveguide 40 and 42.Yet a plurality of discrete waveguides 16 are substituted by a common waveguide 36.Crossing on same " Y " direction of front propagation direction " Z ", is not the width dimensions " a that changes each discrete waveguide 1" to " a n", but change the gauge " t " of this common waveguide 36 that records in " X " direction.
Common waveguide 36 is to be formed by the core material successive layers 44 between planar substrates 48 top covering material successive layers 46a and 46b.In a kind of form of present embodiment, as shown in Figure 5, the thickness of sandwich layer 44 on common waveguide 36 from " t A1" become " t continuously A2".In another form, as shown in Figure 6, the thickness of covering 46a on common waveguide 36 from " t B1" become " t B2".
Two kinds of variation in thickness all can cause the continuous variation of propagation constant " β " on waveguide " Y " direction.Any moving before the collimation optics 34 restriction propagation waves on " Y " direction, so, do not need to be separated to before propagation wave and have different optical path length " L with each waveguide i" each path in.The continuous variation of estimating propagation constant " β " can project the mould field of input waveguide 32 on each output waveguide 40 and 42 more accurately.
The multiplexed optical element 10 in plane and 30 is particularly suitable for simplifying preparation method with " multiple picture ", wherein sandwich layer 44 and covering 46a and 46b is deposited on the substrate 48 and with substrate with extra thickness and is stretched to accurate dimension.Its technological process allows to be deposited with wideer tolerance limit.On the other hand, can adopt grinding or finishing method control duct thickness.
The third embodiment of the present invention as shown in Figure 7 comprises several and the common feature of second embodiment.Plane demultiplexing optical element 50 comprises input waveguide 52, converging optical element (collimation lens) 54, common waveguide 56, plane reflection optical element 58 and output waveguide 60 and 62.Different with second embodiment is that propagation constant " β " is to change by the variations in refractive index on common waveguide 56.For example, can change in the peak value refractive index of core 64 and covering 66 any one or the two, for example increase the variation of impurity 68 concentration.Yet the result is similar to second embodiment, promptly causes the optical path length on " Y " direction to change continuously.
Can adopt several directions to make variations in refractive index, as adopting OVD (outside vapour deposition) and PECVD film process such as (plasma reinforced chemical vapor depositions).Adopt ion exchange technique also can obtain the variable concentration of impurity 68.
Shown in Figure 8 last the 4th embodiment forms as plane demultiplexing optical element 70, and it comprises input waveguide 72 and converging optical element 74, and focal power is zero but gives convergence or divergent wave prerequisite for free space.The central path that spaced radial waveguide 76 forms by optical element 70 terminates on the camber reflection optical element 78.Each radial waveguide 76 transmits corresponding to wavelength " λ 1" to " λ n" in various piece before each cylindrical wave of a wavelength.Camber reflection optical element 78 on the convergence path before radial waveguide 76 is cylindrical wave the attend the meeting free space of poly-converging optical element 74 of back reflection.
Yet similar to first embodiment, the width of radial waveguide 76 is from " a 1" progressively become " a n", with the propagation constant " β " of different piece before the change cylindrical wave.Though different wave length " λ 1" to " λ n" wavefront propagate in cylindrical mode, the variation of propagation constant " β " remains crosses the instant direction that wavefront radial waveguide 76 is propagated.Optical path length " the L of the radial waveguide 76 that produces i" variation make different wave length " λ 1" to " λ n" cylindrical wave before relative tilt, thereby they are converged on output waveguide 80 and 82 the slightly different focal position.
Though the above embodiment of the present invention realizes in planar optical system,, also can realize with in bulk or mixed form.For example, can use the parallel waveguide 16 of optical fiber instead of optical element 10 or the radial waveguide 76 of optical element 70.The whole bag of tricks of the change propagation constant that is disclosed in any one embodiment also can be applied to other embodiment.For example, also can change the thickness or the different refraction quality of Fig. 1 and each waveguide shown in 8.Also can adopt the combination and the length " l of the whole bag of tricks that changes propagation constant w" the further tuning input and output mould of horizontal change field.
Waveguide in described embodiment illustrates with the flush type waveguide, but also can adopt the waveguide of other known type, comprises the waveguide of rib shape.Equally, converging optical element illustrates with lens, but also can as collimating mirror or similar reflecting surface, dispose with inputing or outputing waveguide with catoptron.Also can comprise that input equates with the output waveguide number, disposes the input and output waveguide among each embodiment with various array modes.
