Description

The method for improving of spatial spectral dividing filter wavelength resolution
Technical field
The present invention relates to spectral manipulation and the wavelength resolution technology of analysis product, and in particular to spatial spectral separate type is filtered The method for improving of device resolution ratio.
Background technology
The optical filter of thinking is separated based on spatial spectral, adjustable filter, fixed wave filter can be divided into.It is empty Between dispersion mode common are prism dispersion formula, various raster patterns, array waveguide grating formula, acousto-optic optical filter etc..
As shown in fig. 6, traditional tunable filter for 1. flashlight enters into by the incident optical of tunable filter can Tunable filter functions of modules block is 3. internal, through the flashlight that filtering again by the output optical fibre of tunable filter 2. export for Other functions module uses such as photodiode.
The several frequently seen implementation of optical channel watch-dog is as follows:
MEMS Grating flexibility ratios are relatively high, and wavelength resolution and noise isolation degree are in the shape of medium preference State, wherein wavelength resolution are somewhat short of.
Chinese Patent Application No. is that 201310116824 document discloses a kind of tunable filter based on grating, is one Plant typical MEMS grating type tunable filters, including optical fiber collimator, beam-expanding system, grating, speculum;
