We to do for the light emitting devices that multi-wavelength two-forty especially 40G/100G is transmitted the present invention with specific embodiment by reference to the accompanying drawings and further elaborate below; understand its structure type and operation principle in the hope of more cheer and bright, but can not limit the scope of the invention with this.
Core design thought of the present invention is that the lower rate transmissions signal set of multiple different wave length forms a multi-wavelength two-forty signal together and transmits.Multiple laser is specifically utilized to produce the laser signal of different wave length, then first the laser signal of different wave length is synthesized new light beam by filter set, and then utilized by new light beam polarization beam combiner to be combined in a larger light beam coupling to same optical fiber to carry out signal propagation.In reality, 40G/100G signal is most widely used, and we elaborate the designing and making of the light emitting devices of multi-wavelength high rate data transmission of the present invention as example.
Based on foregoing invention thought, the signal of the 10G/25G of 4 different wave lengths is integrated together to form 40G/100G signal and comes for information transmission by us.Light emitting devices for 40G/100G transmission structurally mainly includes laser, 45 degree of filter plates and polarization beam combiner.Wherein, the light beam of 4 kinds of different wave lengths that four lasers send respectively, its wavelength is respectively λ 1, λ 2, λ 3 and λ 4, and λ 1 < λ 2 < λ 3 < λ 4.Be first that two light beams of λ 1 and λ 3 are combined into the first new light beam through 45 degree of filter plates by wavelength in the solution of the present invention, wavelength is that two light beams of λ 2 and λ 4 are combined into the second new light beam through 45 degree of filter plates, and then the first new light beam and the second new light beam are combined together to form a new light beam comprising four different wave lengths, finally again by this light beam coupling to same optical fiber through a polarization beam combiner.
Certainly, we utilize the object of 45 degree of filter plates to be to be convenient to the laser of two different wave lengths to place in 90 degree of states, are convenient to our structural design and element manufacturing.In like manner, based on thought of the present invention, other angle filter plate can also be utilized to realize same function, as long as the incidence angle of two incident beams is equal.
In order to the set of signals synthesis 40G/100G signal realizing the 10G/25G of above-mentioned 4 different wave lengths comes for information transmission, structural design of the present invention is stated out by following technical em-bodiments.
Embodiment 1
As shown in Figure 3, the light beam of 4 kinds of different wave lengths that four lasers send respectively, its wavelength is respectively λ 1, λ 2, λ 3 and λ 4, and λ 1 < λ 2 < λ 3 < λ 4.In the solution of the present invention, wavelength is first that two light beams of λ 1 and λ 3 are combined into the first new light beam λ 1 through the one 45 degree of filter plate 1 by needs, 3, wavelength is that two light beams of λ 2 and λ 4 are combined into the second new light beam λ 2 through the 2 45 degree of filter plate 2, 4, second new light beam λ 2 in the present embodiment, the polarization direction comparatively first new light beam λ 1 of 4, the polarization direction 90-degree rotation of 3, and then by the first new light beam λ 1, 3 and the second new light beam λ 2, 4 are combined together to form a new light beam λ 1 through a polarization beam combiner 3, 2, 3, 4, last again by this light beam coupling to same optical fiber.
In the present embodiment, the first new light beam λ 1,3 includes from the wavelength of the one 45 degree of filter plate 1 transmission to be the light beam of λ 1 and to be the light beam of λ 3 from the wavelength that the one 45 degree of filter plate 1 reflects.Certainly based on different 45 degree of filter plate designs, two light beams of wavelength X 1 and wavelength X 3 can exchange, and namely new light beam λ 1,3 also can be the light beam of λ 3 by the wavelength from the one 45 degree of filter plate 1 transmission and form from the light beam that the one 45 degree of wavelength that filter plate 1 reflects is λ 1.Second new light beam λ 2,4 includes from the wavelength of the 2 45 degree of filter plate 2 transmission to be the light beam of λ 2 and to be the light beam of λ 4 from the wavelength that the 2 45 degree of filter plate 2 reflects.The same second new light beam λ 2,4 also can by being the light beam of λ 4 by the wavelength from the 2 45 degree of filter plate 2 transmission and forming from the light beam that the 2 45 degree of wavelength that filter plate 2 reflects is λ 2.Further, the new light beam λ 2,4 of the first new light beam λ 1,3 and second is incident in two vertical direction of polarization beam combiner 3.
Due to the polarization direction 90-degree rotation of polarization direction new light beam compared with first of the second new light beam, two light beams like this with 90 degree of cross-polarizations will combine to be coupled in same optical fiber through a polarization beam combiner (PBC).In addition, the output only single polarised light of general edge-emission semiconductor laser, reach the light beam polarization direction relative wavelength λ 2 of wavelength X 1 and λ 3 and the light beam polarization 90-degree rotation of λ 4, only the semiconductor laser chip 90-degree rotation of wavelength X 2 and λ 4 need be placed.
Embodiment 2

Embodiment 3
As shown in Figure 5, the light beam of 4 kinds of different wave lengths that four lasers send respectively, its wavelength is respectively λ 1, λ 2, λ 3 and λ 4, and λ 1 < λ 2 < λ 3 < λ 4.Be first that two light beams of λ 1 and λ 3 are combined into the first new light beam λ 1,3 through the 3 45 degree of filter plate 5 by wavelength in the solution of the present invention, wavelength is that two light beams of λ 2 and λ 4 are combined into the second new light beam λ 2,4 through the 4 45 degree of filter plate 6.In the present embodiment, the polarization direction of the second new light beam λ 2,4 is identical with the polarization direction of the first new light beam λ 1,3, first new light beam λ 1,3 and the second new light beam λ 2,4 are incident to two opposite faces of polarization beam combiner 7 with identical polarization direction, be placed with a completely reflecting mirror 8 and a quarter wave plate 9 at polarization beam combiner 7 on the reflection direction of the new light beam λ 2,4 of the first new light beam λ 1,3 or second, the new light beam of two bundles after reflection combines to be coupled in same optical fiber.
In the present embodiment, the first new light beam includes from the wavelength of the 3 45 degree of filter plate transmission to be the light beam of λ 1 and to be the light beam of λ 3 from the wavelength of the 3 45 degree of filter plate reflection.Second new light beam includes from the wavelength of the 4 45 degree of filter plate transmission to be the light beam of λ 2 and to be the light beam of λ 4 from the wavelength of the 4 45 degree of filter plate reflection.Further, the first new light beam and the second new light beam are incident on the direction that two of polarization beam combiner relative.
Wavelength X 1 and λ 3 and λ 2 and λ 4 are first combined in two different light paths by light emitting devices of the present invention.Because the light beam of different wave length jumps according to wavelength and combines, wavelength spacing increases one times, and the requirement of this programme to 45 degree of blooming pieces significantly reduces.
For existing LR4 40G TOSA, its four CWDM wavelength used are respectively 1270nm, 1290nm, 1310nm and 1330nm.First 1270nm and 1310nm and 1290nm and 1330nm two groups of wavelength combine by this programme, so often organize wavelength spacing 40nm, instead of the 20nm of traditional scheme, the light of final adjacent wavelength will be combined into a road light beam by polarization beam combiner and be coupled in same optical fiber.This mentality of designing will greatly simplify the making of 45 degree of diaphragms.
The present invention is owing to dividing folding bundle by the light of 4 wavelength, and the light path of the light of each wavelength is almost identical, can realize the coupling of laser to optical fiber completely with einzel lens.In addition, point folding bundle can improve the degree of freedom and the flexibility of the placement of four lasers, to realize miniaturized encapsulation.
