Description

2X2 optical fiber coupler capable of adjusting splitting ratio
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber devices, and particularly relates to a 2X2 optical fiber coupler capable of adjusting a splitting ratio.
Background
An optical fiber coupler (hereinafter, simply referred to as a coupler) is a basic device for splitting and combining optical paths, and is the most important basic element constituting various optical fiber networks or optical fiber loops. Because the connection ports of the Optical Network are all Optical fibers, the Optical Network is very convenient to connect and use in an Optical fiber Network, so that the Optical Network has very wide application, such as forming an Optical distribution Network in a Passive Optical Network (PON); the optical fiber interferometer can be used for forming various optical fiber interferometers, such as Mach-Zehnder, Michelson and Sagnac interferometers, can also be used for forming an optical fiber annular cavity, is commonly used in optical fiber lasers, optical fiber amplifiers and various optical instruments (such as OCT), and has important basic positions in optical fiber communication, optical fiber sensing and optical fiber instruments.
The principle of fiber couplers is based on the basic principle that two fibers close to each other will exchange energy. During the manufacturing process, the splitting ratio is determined, that is, once the coupler is manufactured, the splitting wave cannot be adjusted (although the splitting ratio changes with the change of the wavelength, the splitting ratio is an unstable factor), which causes inconvenience for the use of the coupler. For example, in an optical network, the insertion loss of a certain branch changes, but the splitting ratio of the coupler cannot change, so that the power of two paths of light cannot be balanced. For another example, in various measuring instruments, a coupler is often used to tap off a light path to monitor the power variation of the light source, and the monitoring optical path structure is very inflexible due to the fixed splitting ratio, and when the power variation of the laser is large, the detector may exceed its saturation value or be as low as below the threshold power, so that the power range to be monitored is very limited. Because the splitting ratio can not be adjusted, the optical network is very inflexible, the interferometer is also not easy to adjust, and the dynamic range of the optical instrument based on the optical fiber is limited.
At present, various optical networks are mature, optical fiber optical instruments are also in commercial use, in order to further improve the flexibility of the network and increase the dynamic range of the optical instruments, the demand for the coupler with the adjustable splitting ratio floats out of the water surface, the adjustment of the splitting ratio of the coupler needs to be on-line and in real time, namely, the coupler is connected into the optical network or an optical fiber loop, and the network service cannot be stopped because the splitting ratio of the coupler needs to be adjusted. Real-time performance means that the adjusting speed is high, and the adjusting time should reach the ms level or less, because the long adjusting time affects the normal operation of the network service. Besides, the adjustment of the split ratio should be continuously adjustable to meet the specific requirements of users for the split ratio.
