Although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements in some instances, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, the first interface and the second interface, etc. are described. Also, as used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises," "comprising," "includes" and/or "including," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, species, and/or groups, but do not preclude the presence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, species, and/or groups thereof. The terms "or" and/or "as used herein are to be construed as inclusive or meaning any one or any combination. Thus, "A, B or C" or "A, B and/or C" means "any of the following: a; b; c; a and B; a and C; b and C; A. b and C ".

In view of the problems caused by the structural defects of the bidirectional optical splitter in the prior art, the present application provides a bidirectional optical splitter with an improved structure.
Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a beam splitter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
The bidirectional optical splitter 100 includes: a first beam splitter 11 and a second beam splitter 12 paired therewith.
The first beam splitting element 11 for coupling to a first input and a first output, i.e., C1 and R1;
the second beam splitting element 12 is coupled to a second input and a second output, i.e., C2 and R2.
Wherein, C1 and C2 are used for the input of optical signals of different direction sides; r1 and R2 are used for the output of the optical signal.
Each optical splitting component transmits a first part of light obtained by performing optical splitting processing on an optical signal from the coupled input end to the coupled output end; and the optical splitter is used for transmitting the second part of light obtained by the optical signal optical splitting processing to another optical splitting component paired with the optical splitting processing.
The first optical splitter 11 and the second optical splitter 12 are optically coupled to each other, and can transmit optical signals to each other. In one or more embodiments, the optical coupling between each pair of the light splitting assemblies refers to optical coupling between the respective input ends to transmit the second portion of light to the other input end, i.e., C1 is coupled to C2 to transmit the second portions of light to each other.
For example, the first light splitting module 11 performs a first light splitting process on the optical signal from the C1 to obtain a first light portion and a second light portion, outputs the first light portion from the R1, and transmits the second light portion to the second light splitting module 12 and further to the C2; similarly, the second optical splitter component 12 may perform second optical splitting on the optical signal input by the C2 to obtain a first part of light and a second part of light, transmit the first part of light to the R2, transmit the second part of light to the first optical splitter component 11, and further transmit the second part of light to the C1.
As can be seen from the above, the first optical splitter component 11 and the paired second optical splitter components 12 may independently split the optical signals respectively coupled to the input sides and transmit the split optical signals to each other, and the first optical splitter component 11 and the paired second optical splitter components 12 may not split the optical signals from each other, so as to realize bidirectional optical signal transmission in which the split ratios do not affect each other.
In one or more embodiments, one of the first portion of light and the second portion of light is a reflected portion of light reflected by the beam splitting component, and the other of the first portion of light and the second portion of light is a transmitted portion of light transmitted by the beam splitting component.
In a preferred embodiment, the first portion of light may be selected to be the reflected portion of light and the second portion of light to be the transmitted portion of light; of course, other embodiments may be varied and are not limited to this embodiment.
In this implementation, the first optical splitter component 11 transmits the reflected part of the light after the optical signal inputted by C1 is processed by the optical splitting process to R1, and transmits the transmitted part of the light to the second optical splitter component 12 to transmit to C2; similarly, the second optical splitter module 12 transmits the reflected part of the light, which is obtained by splitting the optical signal input from the C2, to the R2, and transmits the transmitted part of the light to the first optical splitter module 11 for transmission to the C1.
As can be seen from the structure shown in fig. 1, the first light splitting assembly 11 or the second light splitting assembly 12 does not need to add an optical device or change a linear light path structure to guide a reflected portion of light to the output end on the same side of the coupled input end, so that the structure of the light splitting assembly can be effectively simplified, and the size of the overall bidirectional optical splitter 100 can be shortened.
Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a light splitting element 20 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The light splitting assembly 20 can be used to realize the first light splitting assembly 11 and the second light splitting assembly 12 in fig. 1; however, in other embodiments, the structures of the first light splitting assembly 20 and the second light splitting assembly 20 may also be different, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto.
The light splitting assembly 20 includes: a bidirectional pigtail 201, a green lens 202, a spectroscopic component 203, and a partial optical connection component 204 (corresponding to the first optical connection component and the second optical connection component in the embodiment of fig. 1).
One end of the bidirectional tail fiber 201 is connected to the communication terminals C and R, and the other end is connected with the Green lens 202.
In one or more embodiments, the bidirectional pigtail 201 comprises: a glass capillary 2011 and at least two optical fibers 2012 enclosed therein, wherein the at least two optical fibers 2012 are arranged in the glass capillary 2011 in a transverse direction or a longitudinal direction.
For example, as shown in fig. 3a, a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a bidirectional pigtail in an embodiment is shown, in this embodiment, a and b respectively represent one optical fiber, and two optical fibers a and b are arranged transversely.
As shown in fig. 3b, a schematic view of an interface structure of a bidirectional pigtail in another embodiment is shown, in this embodiment, two optical fibers a and b are arranged longitudinally.
In fig. 2, the local optical connection component 204 is fixedly sleeved outside the bidirectional pigtail 201. In one or more embodiments, the local optical connection component 204 may be a glass tube.
Optionally, the end face connected between the bidirectional pigtail 201 and the grin lens 202 may be a parallel inclined plane, and the inclined angle relative to the longitudinal direction is 6 ° to 10 °.
Referring to fig. 4, a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the present application in which an end surface of a bidirectional pigtail is an inclined surface (marked by c) is shown.
It should be noted that, although only the structure in which the end face of the bidirectional pigtail 201 is the inclined face c is shown in the drawings, and the parallel inclined face of the green lens connected thereto is not shown, the structure of the parallel inclined face of the green lens should be inferred without any problem.
Optionally, an antireflection film is disposed on an end surface, i.e., an inclined surface, of the bidirectional pigtail 201 connected to the grin lens 202, so as to reduce insertion loss.
The light splitting component 203 is disposed on the end surface of the green lens 202 opposite to the end corresponding to the bidirectional pigtail 201.
In one or more embodiments, the light-splitting component 203 may be a light-splitting sheet; alternatively, if the light splitting component 203 performs unidirectional light splitting, that is, only light splitting is performed on the optical signal input from the bidirectional pigtail 201, a light splitting film may be disposed on the surface of the light splitting component 203 close to the green lens 202 to select a part of the incident light to transmit and another part of the incident light to be reflected to perform light splitting, and the light splitting film may not be disposed on the opposite surface of the light splitting component 203.
The part of the light transmitted by the spectroscopic part 203 can be used as an optical signal transmitted to the opposite end, and the reflected part of the light can be extracted to R.
Optionally, one or more of the two-way pigtail 201 and the optical connection component, the green lens 202 and the two-way pigtail 201, and the green lens 202 and the light splitting component 203 are fixed by adhesive, so that the whole light splitting assembly 20 is an integral device.
Correspondingly, in fig. 1, the first light splitting assembly 11 includes: a first bidirectional pigtail 111 having one end coupled to the first input end and the first output end; a first grin lens 112, one end of which is fixedly connected with the other end face of the first bidirectional pigtail 111; a first dichroic mirror 113 fixedly connected to the other end surface of the first green lens 112 and provided corresponding to the second dichroic mirror 12; and a first optical connecting component 114 fixedly sleeved outside the first bidirectional pigtail 111.
Optionally, a surface of the first light splitting component 113 connected to the first grin lens 112 is a light splitting film coated surface, and is configured to partially transmit light and partially reflect light to the incident light to split light, and transmit a part of the light as an optical signal transmitted to the opposite end; the back surface of the surface where the first dichroic filter 113 is connected to the first grin lens 112 faces the second dichroic filter 12; optionally, the first bidirectional pigtail 111 includes: a glass capillary 1111 and at least two optical fibers 1112 enclosed therein, the at least two optical fibers 1112 being arranged in the glass capillary 1111 in a lateral direction or in a longitudinal direction; optionally, the end face of the first bidirectional pigtail 111 connected to the first green lens 112 is a parallel inclined plane, and the relative longitudinal oblique angle is 6 to 10 degrees; optionally, an antireflection film is disposed on an end face of the first bidirectional pigtail 111 connected to the first green lens 112; optionally, one or more of the first bidirectional pigtail 111 and the first optical connection component 114, the first grin lens 112 and the first bidirectional pigtail 111, and the first grin lens 112 and the first optical splitter 113 are fixed by adhesives; optionally, the first optical connection component 114 is a glass tube.
Similarly, in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the second light splitting assembly 12 includes: a second bidirectional pigtail having one end coupled to the second input end and the second output end; a second green lens 122, one end of which is fixedly connected to the other end face of the second bidirectional pigtail and is disposed corresponding to the first light splitting component 11; a second dichroic member 123 fixedly connected to the other end surface of the second green lens 122; and a second optical connection component 124 fixedly sleeved outside the second bidirectional pigtail.
In one or more embodiments of the present application, a surface of the second light splitting element 123 connected to the second green lens 122 is a light splitting coated surface, and is configured to partially transmit light and partially reflect light to split light of incident light, and transmit a part of the light as an optical signal transmitted to an opposite end; the back surface of the surface where the second dichroic member 123 meets the second green lens 122 faces the first dichroic member 11; optionally, the second bidirectional pigtail 121 includes: a glass capillary 1211 and at least two optical fibers 1212 enclosed therein, the at least two optical fibers 1212 being arranged in a transverse direction or a longitudinal direction in the glass capillary 1211; optionally, the end face of the second bidirectional pigtail 121 connected to the second green lens 122 is a parallel inclined plane, and the included angle relative to the longitudinal direction is 6 to 10 degrees; optionally, an antireflection film is disposed on an end face of the second bidirectional pigtail 121 connected to the second green lens 122; optionally, one or more of the second bidirectional pigtail and the second optical connection component 124, the second green lens 122 and the second bidirectional pigtail, and the second green lens 122 and the second splitter 123 are fixed by glue; optionally, the second optical connection component 124 is a glass tube.
Optionally, the bidirectional optical splitter 100 further includes an integral optical connection component 13 having an optical cavity for accessing at least two open ends (i.e., left and right ends on the way) of the optical fiber; the paired first light splitting assembly 11 and the paired second light splitting assembly 12 are disposed in the optical cavity and fixedly connected to the integrated optical connection component 13, and are disposed corresponding to one of the two open ends.
As can be seen from the figure, the first light splitting module 11 and the second light splitting module 12 are respectively located at the left and right ends of the integral optical connecting component 13, and are respectively connected to the outside by C1, R1, and C2, R2, and are oppositely arranged inside by the first light splitting component 113 and the second light splitting component 123 to receive the light-split optical signal (for example, the transmission part light) transmitted by the other.
In one or more embodiments, the integral optical connection component 13 is a glass tube.
Alternatively, the integral optical connection component 13 may fix the first optical splitting assembly 11 and the second optical splitting assembly 12 in the second optical connection component 124 by fixing the first optical connection component 114 and the second optical connection component 124 to each other; optionally, the fixing manner may be adhesive fixing.
The second optical connection component 124 is used for fixedly bridging the first optical splitting assembly 11 and the second optical splitting assembly 12, and is specifically implemented by fixing (i.e. for example, gluing) the first optical connection component 114 and the second optical connection component 124 with the integral optical connection component 13; however, in other embodiments, the structure may be changed; for example, one or more of the first optical connection component 114 and the integral optical connection component 13 may be replaced by other fixing structures, such as direct adhesive, snap, etc., and thus the above embodiments are not limited thereto.
In one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, the splitting ratios of the first splitting assembly 11 and the second splitting assembly 12 are the same or different; that is, the splitting ratios at which the first and second splitting components 113 and 123 are set may be the same or different.

For example, if the splitting ratio of the first splitting component 113 is 2% and the splitting ratio of the second splitting component 123 is 5%, the optical signal from C1 in the first splitting component 113 is split by 2%, the reflected 2% reflected part light is transmitted to R1, and the remaining transmitted part light is transmitted to the second splitting component 12 and output from C2; the second splitter module 12 splits the optical signal from C2 at a splitting ratio of 5%, transmits the reflected 5% of the light to R2, and transmits the remaining transmitted light to the first splitter module 11 to be output from C1.
