Specific embodiment
With reference to the accompanying drawings and detailed description, the present invention will be further described.
Tunable optic filter of the invention uses TO encapsulating structure, has the advantages that small in size, at low cost, and optical path It is short, Polarization Dependent Loss is low, Insertion Loss consistency is good;Meanwhile the thermal tuning F-P cavity of the encapsulating structure has lower hot crosstalk, Environmental stability is good, high reliablity, can cover broad tuning range required by Transmission system, and tuned speed is fast, repeats Property is good.The adjustable light wave-filter of TO encapsulation, including an input/output terminal and one group of tunable etalon group, further include a TO Pedestal;The TO pedestal is equipped with a reflecting surface and support base group, and each support base height of support base group is different.Wherein, Each etalon of tunable etalon group is respectively arranged in each support base;A TO pipe cap is set on TO pedestal, by reflecting surface and can Tuning etalon group is packaged in pipe cap, and input/output terminal is connect with pipe cap top.After signal light is inputted through input/output terminal, It is successively incident on reflecting surface after the filtering Jing Guo tunable etalon group, tunable mark is again passed by after reflective surface The filtering of quasi- tool group, most exports through input/output terminal afterwards.
Specifically, as in the embodiment disclosed in figs. 1-3 one, the thermal tuning constituted with etalon 40 made of two thermo-sensitive materials For etalon group, the thermal tuning etalon group with 2 silicon etalons be it is preferred, be respectively arranged in two support bases 30.It is (excellent Silicon etalon is selected, since it is with biggish thermo-optical coeffecient, wider wavelength can be realized in lesser temperature tuning range Tuning range, it is easy to accomplish and the thermal tuning filtering in control wider range.) as by the biggish thermal expansion coefficient of silicon etalon The non-uniform problem of bring heat, the encapsulating structure pass through the design of support base 30, can reduce or avoid the problem.Two The height of support group seat 30 is different, and difference in height is at least greater than or equal to 0.3mm, it is contemplated that package dimension size is excellent with 0.8mm Choosing, so that the degree of being thermally isolated with higher of two etalons 40 being respectively arranged in the two support bases 30, that is, reduce two Hot crosstalk between a etalon 40, to facilitate the temperature of two etalons 40 of independent control.
It is coated with adding thermal resistance film on above-mentioned two etalon 40, and is electrically connected respectively with the PIN pin of TO pedestal 10, (such as It is connected with PIN pin corresponding on TO pedestal 10 by the way that gold electrode is arranged thereon, and by way of beating gold thread);The bottom TO The PIN pin of seat 10 is electrically connected with a heating controller, and the temperature of two etalons 40 of heating is controlled by heating controller, real Existing thermal tuning etalon.The MEMS mirror piece is also to be managed by way of beating gold thread with PIN corresponding on TO pedestal 10 Foot conducting.
Each support base 30 is made of low thermal conductivity material, can be such as made of the glass of lower thermal conductivity;One branch Support group seat 30 is made of at least two pillars, and by this, at least two pillars support an etalon 40.The encapsulating structure can lead to It crosses and designs suitable strut height and cross-sectional area, control or minimize the contact area of etalon 40 and support base 30, So that the etalon 40 in the filter obtains good temperature uniformity, it is uneven because temperature controls to avoid etalon It is even, cause its chamber long and optical path difference difference everywhere in light pass surface, finally causes the peak wavelength of etalon light pass surface everywhere not Unanimously, peak I L becomes larger, pulse width, waveform bottom become the problems such as wider.
In the embodiment, input/output terminal is defeated due to double-fiber collimator 60 using a double-fiber collimator 60 Entering has certain angle between optical fiber and output optical fibre, so the light pass surface of tunable etalon group and reflecting surface 20 in the structure Between have angle placement, avoid it is parallel caused by be superimposed etalon effect, the input of the angle and double-fiber collimator 60 The matching of output optical fibre angle, is best with 5 ° or so between 2 ° ~ 6 °.TO pipe cap 50 is first used when assembly, by MEMS mirror 20 It is packaged in pipe cap with tunable etalon group, and itself and double-fiber collimator 60 is respectively placed on the fixture of adjustment frame, into Row adjusts light, so that insertion loss is minimum, later by a fixing piece 90, such as glass connector or metal connecting piece, leads to It crosses the mode being bonded or welded to be fixedly connected with double-fiber collimator 60 with TO pipe cap 50, what the complete TO of composition one was encapsulated can Tuned filter.Signal light is after the input optical fibre input of double-fiber collimator 60, successively by tunable etalon group It is incident on MEMS mirror 20 after filtering, the filter of tunable etalon group is again passed by after the reflection of MEMS mirror 20 Wave, most the output optical fibre output through double-fiber collimator 60 afterwards.
Wherein, input/output terminal can also substitute double-fiber collimator using an optical circulator, using optical circulator conduct When input/output terminal, reflecting surface and the filtering level of tunable etalon group can be parallel to each other.Its assembling process and double optical fiber The assembling process of collimator is similar.
Embodiment two as shown in Figure 4 has increased separately thermistor 70 on each etalon 40, for detecting each mark The temperature of quasi- tool 40, each thermistor 70 are electrically connected with the PIN pin of TO pedestal 10.When the filtering device and a control circuit board After connection is powered, the adding thermal resistance film on etalon 40 carries out independent heated for controlling temperature, temperature-sensitive electricity to each etalon 40 as needed Resistance 70 can then detect the actual temperature of each etalon 40, and feed back to control circuit board, and the two forms a feedback loop, It realizes the accurate temperature controlling to etalon 40, after stablizing to temperature, the repeatability of centre of homology wavelength can be tested, reach more smart The purpose of true filter tuning.
Adjustable light wave-filter of the invention has function more due to the structure using TO encapsulation, small in size, at low cost Advantage, and optical path is short, Polarization Dependent Loss is low, Insertion Loss consistency is good.Meet very much CFP2 or CFP4 to the tight of filter volume Lattice require, the filtering of ASE noise the superpower laser after amplifying through EDFA.
Although specifically showing and describing the present invention in conjunction with preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art should be bright It is white, it is not departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention defined by the appended claims, in the form and details to this hair The bright various change made, is protection scope of the present invention.
