Description

Method for anti-reflection and effectively adjusting energy entering optical fiber and optical module
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical communication, in particular to a method for preventing reflection and effectively adjusting the energy entering an optical fiber and an optical module.
Background
Most optical communication devices perform conversion between electrical signals and optical signals through an optical transceiver module, perform connection to an optical fiber as a transmission medium, and select and provide an optical transceiver compatible with an environmental medium (e.g., a communication rate, a communication distance, and a transmission medium) to the communication device when operating the communication device.
Generally, first, light emitted from a laser of a light emitting module is reflected at a far end, and a semiconductor laser is very sensitive to reflection, which causes unstable performance of the semiconductor laser, so that an anti-reflection process is required between the semiconductor laser and an optical fiber. Then, the energy emitted by the semiconductor laser is too large, and the problem of poor effect of the device at the module testing end cannot be fundamentally solved by adopting a common defocusing means. The method has the following defects:
1. the semiconductor laser is very sensitive to the reflected light, and the light emitted by the laser is reflected at the far end to return parallel light, so that the normal operation of the device is greatly influenced.
2. The isolator is arranged in front of the optical fiber, so that the performance is good and the price is high.
3. The normal device can reach the normal power range only by defocusing, but the light spots converged after coupling are not concentrated, so that the module testing effect is poor.
Therefore, how to further research and explore the anti-reflection and effectively adjust the amount of energy entering the optical fiber to ensure the normal and stable operation of the optoelectronic device is the direction of research and exploration in the related field.

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and the like as used herein are for illustrative purposes only.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the present invention provides a method for anti-reflection and effectively adjusting the amount of energy entering an optical fiber, comprising:
the semiconductor laser 1 emits incident laser, and the incident laser sequentially passes through the lens 2 and the polaroid 3 and then enters the optical fiber 4;
the inclination angle of the polarizer 3 is adjusted to mitigate the near-end reflection and the far-end reflection;
rotating the polaroid 3 around the central axis of the polaroid 3 to adjust the energy entering the optical fiber 4 by adjusting the light transmittance;
the polaroid 3 is arranged at the incident front end of the optical fiber 4, and the light emitted by the laser passes through the polarization film in the polaroid 3 to obtain polarized light.
The method comprises the following specific steps: by disposing the polarizer 3 at the front end of the optical fiber 4, the polarizing film (i.e. PVA film) inside the polarizer 3 is stretched in the optical direction to have strong anisotropy with different properties in the two directions of vertical and horizontal directions like a fence, and the dye molecules adsorbed by the macromolecular bonds form so-called dichroism with large difference in absorption properties for light vibration in the two directions of vertical and horizontal directions, that is, the vibration energy of light along the macromolecular bonds is absorbed completely and does not pass through, while the vibration energy perpendicular to the macromolecular bonds is not absorbed and passes through smoothly, which is a characteristic of strong selective absorption for the polarization direction of light, and only polarized light is left after natural light passes through the polarizing film. Polarized light passes through the polarization mode and is either passed or absorbed by the polarization direction.
Alternatively, the angle of the polarizer 3 is adjusted so that the reflected principal ray of the incident laser light striking the surface of the polarizer 3 is redirected by the polarizer 3 and the energy that cannot return to the laser is attenuated. The polarization direction is adjusted according to the Malus law of light absorption by the polarizer 3 to adjust the amount of energy entering the fiber 4.
Alternatively, the optical absorption by the polarizer 3 may be based on the Malus law I' ═ Icos2Alpha to adjust the polarization direction to adjust the amount of energy entering the fiber 4. Malus' law states that: linearly polarized light having intensity I (o) is transmitted through the analyzer, and the intensity of transmitted light (without taking absorption into consideration) is I ═ I (o) cos2Theta. θ is an angle between the light vibration direction of the incident linearly polarized light and the polarization direction of the polarizing plate 3.
Specifically, a polarizer 3 is disposed between the laser of the light emitting assembly and the optical fiber 4 for changing the optical path of the light reflected back to the laser, thereby reducing the energy returned to the laser. The material of the polaroid 3 can be glass, silicon or plastic, and the polaroid 3 is obliquely arranged, and the inclination angle is 0-45 degrees. When in use, the light source is adjusted according to the transmission and reflection principles of light according to specific conditions.

1. The polarizing plate 3 is disposed at the front end of the optical fiber 4.
2. The maximum energy value entering the optical fiber 4 is adjusted according to the Malus law I' ═ Icos of the light absorption of the polarizer 32The alpha polarization direction can effectively adjust the energy of the entering optical fiber 4 to be largeIs small.
A polarizer 3 is arranged between the laser of the light emitting assembly and the optical fiber 4 for altering the optical path of the light reflected back to the laser, thereby reducing the energy returned to the laser. The material of the polaroid 3 can be glass, silicon or plastic, and the polaroid 3 is obliquely arranged, and the inclination angle is 0-45 degrees. When in use, the light source is adjusted according to the transmission and reflection principles of light according to specific conditions.
Has the advantages that: the invention provides a method for anti-reflection and effectively adjusting the energy entering an optical fiber and an optical module, comprising the following steps: the semiconductor laser emits incident laser, and the incident laser sequentially passes through the lens and the polaroid and then enters the optical fiber; adjusting the tilt angle of the polarizer to mitigate near end reflections and far end reflections; rotating the polaroid around the central axis of the polaroid to adjust the energy entering the optical fiber by adjusting the light transmittance; the polaroid is arranged at the front end of the incidence of the optical fiber, and the polarized light is obtained after macromolecules in the optical signal pass through the polarizing film in the polaroid. The scheme can effectively adjust the energy entering the optical fiber and change the polarization state of the returning light, so that the polarization state of the returning laser light is different from the original polarization state, the influence on the laser is reduced, and the working stability of the device is improved; the polarizing film is made of a material with better cost performance, so that the cost of the optical fiber assembly is reduced.
The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention in any manner; the present invention may be readily implemented by those of ordinary skill in the art as illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described above; however, those skilled in the art should appreciate that they can readily use the disclosed conception and specific embodiments as a basis for designing or modifying other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present invention without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims; meanwhile, any changes, modifications, and evolutions of the equivalent changes of the above embodiments according to the actual techniques of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
