Description

Communication switching device
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of communication switching device, particularly a kind of communication switching device that is used for optical-fibre communications.
Background technology
In the face of the demand on communication speed and the frequency range, make that the optical fiber that possesses high frequency range advantage is especially attracted attention, also therefore driven the flourish and transformation of optical fiber communication technology now.Add optical fiber and have that low attenuation rate, transfer rate are fast, citation quality height, and plurality of advantages such as high security, make that the use of optical-fibre communications is more and more extensive.Wherein, the main function of fibre-switch (Optical Switch) is switches light signal transmission path, often applying to the backup and the maintenance of fiber optic network, thereby playing the part of very important role in optical-fibre communications field, is an indispensable communication part in fact.
General existing fibre-switch 10, as shown in Figure 1, it mainly makes structure is that a refractor 11 is fixedly arranged on the pedestal 13 moving up and down, when pedestal 13 moves on one the precalculated position, the light signal that one first optical fiber 151 is transmitted will pass to one the 3rd optical fiber 153 through the refraction action of described refractor 11.When described pedestal 13 moves to down the precalculated position, the light signal that described first optical fiber 151 is transmitted will no longer pass through described refractor 11, and directly be passed to one second optical fiber 152.
Just, described fibre-switch 10 is to drive described refractor 11 by described pedestal 13 to move up and down, and reaches the purpose that optical fiber switches.Though its mechanism design is simple and easy, yet, the light signal that it transmitted will be subjected to the influence of described refractor 11 and cause signal strength decay, and the crudy of refractor 11 itself and aging action thereof all will have a strong impact on the alignment issues between first optical fiber 151 and the 3rd optical fiber 153.
In addition, be placed between the optical fiber to reach the purpose of its switching, the necessary spacing that increases between described first optical fiber 151 and second optical fiber 152 or the 3rd optical fiber 153 owing to must having certain thickness refractor 11.Not only increased the alignment difficulties degree of optical fiber for this reason, more influenced light signal strength and quality thereof because of spacing is long.Certainly, can add a gradual index lens (GrinLens) 17 at an end of each optical fiber respectively with its alignment issues of reinforcement, but this just increases its manufacturing cost, and can't effectively promote its market competitiveness.
