Embodiment 1
Please see Fig. 1, can know that present embodiment is 5 a passage wavelength division multiplexed lights electricity transmitter module by figure; Comprising five generating laser LD; Send five kinds of different wavelength of laser light beams respectively accordingly, λ 1, λ 2, λ 3, λ 4 and λ 5, the polarization state of laser beam is respectively: the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 1 is the P attitude; The laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 2 is the S attitude; The laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 3 is the P attitude, and the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 4 is the S attitude, and the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 5 is the P attitude.The polarization state of laser beam is to represent with strigula among the P attitude figure, and the polarization state of laser beam is to represent with black circle among the S attitude figure.In addition; Wavelength-division multiplex photoelectricity transmitter module also includes two polarization beam splitter prisms and five filter plates that are directed to wavelength X 1, λ 2, λ 3, λ 4 and λ 5 respectively; Wherein, Be directed in four filter plates of wavelength X 2, λ 3, λ 4 and λ 5, the both sides of each filter plate respectively are provided with a quarter-wave plate, represent with λ/4 among this quarter-wave plate figure.Sending generating laser LD (λ 1), first polarization beam splitter prism and second polarization beam splitter prism of wavelength X 1 places along straight line successively.Wherein, the generating laser LD (λ 3) that sends the generating laser LD (λ 2) of wavelength X 2 and send wavelength X 3 places the both lateral sides of first polarization beam splitter prism respectively, and the laser beam that sends relatively is incident in first polarization beam splitter prism; The generating laser LD (λ 5) that sends the generating laser LD (λ 4) of wavelength X 4 and send wavelength X 5 places the both lateral sides of second polarization beam splitter prism respectively, and the laser beam that sends relatively is incident in second polarization beam splitter prism.At last, including wavelength X 1, λ 2, λ 3, λ 4 and λ 5 synthetic laser light beams is coupled in the same optical fiber through condenser lens 6 and exports.
Because polarization beam splitter prism is for the light beam total transmissivity of P polarization state, for the light beam total reflection of S polarization state, the present invention utilizes this principle exactly, and the different wavelength of laser light beam coupling that different generating lasers send is exported in same optical fiber.In order to access the light beam of single wavelength, we respectively are provided with a filter plate on the light path of each generating laser, its objective is to make the light of respective wavelength to pass through, and the light of other wavelength then is reflected back.
In the present embodiment, the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 1 is the P attitude, and it directly passes wavelength X 1 filter plate, first polarization beam splitter prism and second polarization beam splitter prism; And the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 2 is the S attitude; It at first passes a quarter-wave plate; Make laser beam convert circularly polarized light into from the S polarized light; And then pass wavelength X 2 filter plates and another quarter-wave plate, become the P polarized light from circularly polarized light and be incident to first polarization beam splitter prism.The laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 3 is the P attitude; It at first passes a quarter-wave plate; Laser beam converts circularly polarized light into from the P polarized light; And then pass wavelength X 2 filter plates and another quarter-wave plate, its polarization state is converted into the S attitude from circularly polarized light again and is incident to first polarization beam splitter prism.Because the characteristic of polarization beam splitter prism; Be directed to the wavelength X 2 and wavelength X 3 laser beams of relative position incident; Wavelength X 2 laser beams of P polarization state are from the first polarization beam splitter prism transmission; Make laser beam convert circularly polarized light into through quarter-wave plate then, run into wavelength X 3 filter plates then and reflect, make circularly polarized light become linearly polarized light through quarter-wave plate once more from linearly polarized light; Its polarization state revolve turn 90 degrees become the S attitude; When wavelength X 2 laser beams reached first polarization beam splitter prism once more like this, the same with the polarization state of wavelength X 3 laser beams all was the S attitude, thereby longitudinally exported second polarization beam splitter prism to behind reflection of polarization face reflection 90 degree through first polarization beam splitter prism.
The polarization state that is positioned at wavelength X 4 that the generating laser of the second polarization beam splitter prism both lateral sides sends and the wavelength X 5 laser beams polarization state with the wavelength X 2 of the first polarization beam splitter prism both sides and wavelength X 3 laser beams respectively is the same.In its light path the setting of quarter-wave plate and filter plate too, so it can cause wavelength X 4 and wavelength X 5 laser beams vertically to be exported from second polarization beam splitter prism with the S polarization state equally.Owing to can reflect and make polarization state revolve through four minutes one wave plates twice to turn 90 degrees into the P attitude through wavelength X 4 filter plates from the wavelength X 2 of the S attitude of the first polarization beam splitter prism outgoing and wavelength X 3 laser beams; Again through wavelength X 5 filter plates reflections with make polarization state revolve through four minutes one wave plates twice to turn 90 degrees into the S attitude, thereby longitudinally export behind reflection of polarization face reflection 90 degree through second polarization beam splitter prism.
From the above, having comprised polarization state from the vertical emitting laser light beam of second polarization beam splitter prism is that wavelength X 1 laser beam of P attitude and the synthetic a branch of light of λ 2, λ 3, λ 4 and λ 5 laser beams that polarization state is the S attitude are coupled to the same optical fiber through condenser lens and export.
Embodiment 2
Structure in the present embodiment and light path and embodiment 1 are roughly the same, and difference is that the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 1 is the S attitude, but not the P attitude.Like this; Wavelength X 1 laser beam of S attitude can be longitudinally through the reflection of polarization face reflection of first polarization beam splitter prism; At first pass a quarter-wave plate, make linearly polarized light be converted into circularly polarized light, then through after the reflection of wavelength X 2 filter plates through same quarter-wave plate; Convert linearly polarized light into from circularly polarized light again, its polarization state revolves to turn 90 degrees to be become the P polarized light and laterally is incident in first polarization beam splitter prism.Laterally outgoing of edge after the transmission from first polarization beam splitter prism; At first pass a quarter-wave plate, make linearly polarized light be converted into circularly polarized light, then through after the reflection of wavelength X 3 filter plates through same quarter-wave plate; Convert linearly polarized light into from circularly polarized light again; Its polarization state revolves to turn 90 degrees to be become the S polarized light and laterally is incident in first polarization beam splitter prism, and the 90 degree reflections of the reflection of polarization face of first polarization beam splitter prism are along vertical outgoing of first polarization beam splitter prism.Same light path walking manner ground through second polarization beam splitter prism after with the vertical outgoing of S attitude.Like this, in the present embodiment, wavelength X 1, λ 2, λ 3, λ 4 and 5 five laser beams of λ all are coupled in the same optical fiber through condenser lens with the synthetic a branch of light of S polarization state and export.
