Described first kind and second kind of wavelength selector, input waveguide, transition light waveguide and output optical waveguide are in same light waveguide-layer plane or are in two different light waveguide-layer planes respectively.
Used term explanation in this instructions: (1), sectional type optical waveguide: the optical waveguide by the multistage optical waveguide composes in series a very little gap is arranged between every section optical waveguide, and the center of every section optical waveguide is aligned with each other generally.Owing to the gap between every section optical waveguide is very little, although reflection of light and scattering can take place, form perturbation to a certain degree at gap location, light wave is still propagated forward along optical waveguide.
Ultimate principle of the present invention is: the light wave fields coupling principle and the bragg reflection filtering principle of comprehensive utilization directional coupler are constructed a new device, realize the selection of high-resolution wavelength, promptly utilize the coupling principle of similar directional coupler that light wave is taken out from input waveguide, utilize the bragg reflection filtering principle that the wavelength that is taken out is carried out the strictness screening, separates again, for fear of being caused, other wavelength light waves have a strong impact on, and in case of necessity also can be sending input waveguide again back to through the remaining light wave in bragg reflection filtering screening back.Tell about principle of work for convenience, below the brief overview principle of work of directional coupler and bragg reflection wave filter once respectively according to the wavelength selector of above-mentioned principles of construction.
In directional coupler, when input waveguide and output optical waveguide were separated by in one section coupled zone that very near-earth is arranged in parallel, the light wave in the input waveguide can progressively shift to output optical waveguide, suppose that the light wave arrow amplitude in the input waveguide is A 1(z), the light wave in the output optical waveguide vows that amplitude is A 2(z), z then can describe A with following system of equations according to perturbation theory for the section start from the coupled zone begins the distance that (z=0) light wave is propagated optical waveguide 1(z) and A 2(z) coupling between:
Figure A0312202900071
In the formula, K 12And K 21Be the coupling coefficient between input waveguide and the output optical waveguide, Δ=β 12, β 1And β 2Be respectively the propagation constant of light wave in input waveguide and the output optical waveguide.To the light wave of a certain wavelength, if it just in time satisfies phase-matching condition, i.e. β 12, or Δ=0, can solve by (1) and (2)
A 2(z)=K 21/K 21 2Sin(|K 21|z) (3)
By (3) formula as can be seen the light field in the output optical waveguide be sinusoidal periodic with distance z and change.When the z=pi/2 | K 21|=L cThe time, the light intensity I=|A in the output optical waveguide 2(z) | 2Reach maximum, the principle of work of Here it is a conventional directional coupler, length L cBe the coupling length of this directional coupler.But because the light wave of phase-matching condition, β are satisfied in pairing approximation 1≈ β 2, A in the output optical waveguide 2(z) higher value is also arranged, therefore the wavelength resolution of conventional directional coupler is not high.
In the bragg reflection wave filter, the refractive index of optical waveguide or physical dimension are done the variation of perturbation cycle along the length direction z of optical waveguide, suppose its refractive index perturbation Δ n 2(x, period of change z) are Λ, can be with periodic function Δ n 2(x z) is launched into fourier series,
Δ n 2 ( x , z ) = Δ n 2 ( x ) Σ - ∞ ∞ a m Exp [ im 2 π Λ z ] - - - - - - ( 4 )
To the light wave of a certain wavelength, the propagation constant of forward and backpropagation light wave is respectively β in the note optical waveguide +And β -If they just in time satisfy phase-matching condition, 2 π m/ Λ=β +-, then propagation constant is β +The forward-propagating light wave is because Δ n 2(x, it is β that propagation constant is coupled in the modulation of m subharmonic z) -The backpropagation light wave, establish the light wave of forward and backpropagation light wave and vow that amplitude is respectively A +(z) and A -(z), according to perturbation theory, available following system of equations is described A +(z) and A -(z) coupling between:
Figure A0312202900081
In the formula, K12 and K21 are the coupling coefficient between forward and the backpropagation light wave.Solve an equation (5), (6) can find, to the light wave of a certain specific wavelength, because they just in time satisfy phase-matching condition, and as long as the distribution length long enough in optical waveguide perturbation district can be realized approximate 100% reflection, Here it is bragg reflection filtering principle.
In the wavelength selector that the present invention proposes, if periodic waveguide is positioned on the output optical waveguide, and not in the transition light waveguide, then input waveguide and transition light waveguide constitute a conventional directional coupler in the coupled zone; The periodic waveguide that is positioned at simultaneously on the output optical waveguide constitutes a conventional bragg reflection wave filter, and the wavelength selector of this kind version can be regarded as the simple serial connection of a conventional directional coupler and a conventional bragg reflection wave filter.Its course of work at first is to take out light wave in certain wave spread by transition light waveguide direction of passage coupling mechanism from input waveguide, choose the light wave of specific wavelength again by the bragg reflection of the periodic waveguide on the output optical waveguide, simultaneously owing to the transition light waveguide links to each other with output optical waveguide by a Y type knot, when the light wave of being returned by bragg reflection in the output optical waveguide is oppositely tied by the Y type, a certain proportion of light wave continues to propagate along output optical waveguide, and from the output of the output port of output optical waveguide, a certain proportion of light wave can oppositely be got back to the transition light waveguide, and further input waveguide is got back in the coupling of direction of passage coupling mechanism, oppositely exports from the input port of input waveguide.
In the wavelength selector that the present invention proposes, if periodic waveguide is positioned in the transition light waveguide, and be positioned at the coupled zone of input waveguide and transition light waveguide, then the coupling behavior meeting between input waveguide and the transition light waveguide departs from conventional directional coupler, and the behavior of the periodic waveguide in the transition light waveguide also can depart from conventional Bragg reflector in some aspects, therefore can not regard wavelength selector as the simple serial connection or the parallel connection of a conventional directional coupler and a conventional Bragg reflector this moment, should carry out analysis-by-synthesis its characteristic.Forward-propagating and backpropagation light wave vow that amplitude is respectively A in the note input waveguide 1(z) and A 4(z), record a demerit simultaneously and cross in the optical waveguide forward-propagating and backpropagation light wave and vow that amplitude is respectively A 2(z) and A 3(z), then from the initiating terminal of coupled zone, the direction of propagation of light wave, the coupling mechanism of similar directional coupler, A are imported in the edge 1(z) can be coupled to A 2(z), remember that the coupling coefficient between them is respectively K 12, K 21Simultaneously, in the transition light waveguide, similar bragg reflection mechanism, A 2(z) can be coupled to A 3(z), remember that the coupling coefficient between them is respectively K 23, K 32Then, the coupling mechanism of similar directional coupler, the A of backpropagation in the transition light waveguide 3(z) can coupling get back in the input waveguide, form the A of backpropagation 4(z), remember that the coupling coefficient between them is respectively K 34, K 43Comprehensive above-mentioned each step as can be seen, A on the one hand 1(z) can be coupled to A 2(z), make A 2(z) increase, on the other hand, A 2(z) can be coupled to A 3(z), make A 2(z) reduce.Same A on the one hand 2(z) can be coupled to A 3(z), make A 3(z) increase, on the other hand, A 3(z) can be coupled to A 4(z), make A 3(z) reduce.When satisfying phase-matching condition, can write out A like this 1(z), A 2(z), A 3(z) and A 4(z) the coupled wave equation group between:
Although equation (7)-(10) separate more complicated, we can carry out qualitative analysis in view of the above.Because A 3(z) be the light wave arrow amplitude of the output light-wave of wavelength selector, if A 3(z) identically vanishing, i.e. wavelength selector no-output, the purpose that it just can not play from input waveguide and select, separate certain wavelength light wave.Can prove A by reduction to absurdity 3(z) can identically vanishing.In case because A 3(z) identically vanishing, also identically vanishing of its derivative then, by equation (10) as can be known, A 4(z) be constant, again by equation (9) A as can be known 2(z) be necessary for constant, and A 4(z)=K 32/ K 34A 2(z).If A 2(z) for being not equal to zero constant, then as can be known by equation (7), A 1(z) nonidentical in zero, again by equation (8) A as can be known 2(z) derivative is non-vanishing, this and A 2(z) for constant contradicts, so A 2(z) be necessary for null constant, A like this 1(z) be constant, the initial value when promptly keeping input is constant, and A 2(z), A 3(z) and A 4(z) all be zero, this situation has only input waveguide and transition light waveguide a good distance off, and being coupled as between them zero just may occur.And in the coupled zone of wavelength selector, input waveguide and transition light waveguide are separated by very that near-earth is arranged in parallel, therefore must have a certain size, light wave vows that amplitude is A 3(z) light wave output.
Consider A below again 3(z) get great situation.Under the best circumstances, suppose at sintering, coupled zone A 3(z) reach greatly, at this moment, A 3(z) derivative is zero, according to equation (9) A is arranged 4(0)=K 32/ K 34A 2(0).Since in the sintering, A 2(0) 0, so A 4(0), this illustrates that total luminous energy is mainly by | A 3(0) | 2With | A 1(0) | 2Constitute, but | A 3(0) | 2With | A 1(0) | 2Ratio, promptly wavelength selector is to the size of the reflectivity of the light wave of specific wavelength, must determine according to system of equations (7)-(10).The transition light waveguide is unnecessary in addition all makes periodic waveguide in whole coupled zone, for example can deliberately stay one section to be conventional optical waveguide at the initiating terminal of coupled zone, may play adjustment like this | A 3(0) | 2With | A 1(0) | 2The effect of ratio.Can adjust coupling coefficient K by interval, length, refractive index and the Size Distribution etc. of input waveguide and transition light waveguide in the adjustment coupled zone in a word 12And K 21, and K 34And K 43, can change power by the perturbation of adjusting the periodic waveguide in the transition light waveguide simultaneously and adjust coupling coefficient K 23And K 32, work as K like this 12, K 21, K 23, K 32, K 34And K 43And the distribution length of periodic waveguide all adjusts to suitable when size according to system of equations (7)-(10), just can adjust | A 3(0) | 2Reach maximum or reach a certain predetermined value.
Except that wavelength selector is selected isolated specific wavelength light wave (we claim that this specific wavelength is the operation wavelength of wavelength selector) in addition, the light wave of every other wavelength also all can be coupled into the transition light waveguide to a certain extent, but, can not reflected by periodic waveguide because they do not satisfy bragg condition.In order to reduce loss to these inoperative wavelength light waves, can be at the end end of coupled zone, the transition light waveguide of these light waves of transmission or the output optical waveguide mode with Y type knot is linked to each other with the output terminal of input waveguide, make them come back to input waveguide.Cancel out each other owing to interfering for fear of these light waves of coming through different paths, should adjust output optical waveguide or transition light waveguide and the length of input waveguide before converging, make the light path of the light wave when the different paths of process merge together at last equate or be approximately the integral multiple of wavelength as far as possible.Certainly also can abandon the inoperative wavelength light wave that these are coupled away, or they are directed to other places are used for detecting or other purposes.
Physical dimension, the relative position of optical waveguide in the wavelength selector regulated in electrostriction by external carbuncle, thermal deformation, piezoelectric ceramics etc. in addition, or the bulk dispersion effect by electrooptical effect, magneto-optic effect, acoustooptic effect, semiconductor material etc. changes the refractive index of optical waveguide, the operation wavelength of wavelength selector be can dynamically change, thereby various optical-fiber network devices such as wavelength selective optical switch, photomodulator and spectrometer, sensing measurement instrument etc. are used to make.
The present invention compared with prior art has the following advantages and effect:
Wavelength selector involved in the present invention, owing to adopted the bragg reflection principle, its wavelength resolution substantially exceeds directional coupler, its input simultaneously separates with output optical waveguide, and is easy to use, so it has inherited the advantage of Bragg reflector and directional coupler, their defectives have separately been overcome simultaneously again, compact conformation, loss is little, is convenient to the multi-stage serial connection combination.
