Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to the integrated opto-electronic device field, relate to mechanical optical switch.
Background technology
Mechanical optical switch is divided into two big series products, promptly adopt the mechanical type hyperchannel 1 * N photoswitch of little precision electric motor control and the mechanical optical switch of employing electromagnetic drive mode, as mobile lens type, light wedge type, with 1 * 2,2 * 2,1 * 4 photoswitch etc., at present can commercial scale production.
On principle of work, existing Business Machine formula photoswitch, all be to adopt optical fiber collimator to aim at the coupling that realizes input end and output terminal with optical fiber collimator, by mobile collimating apparatus or mobile optical element, as prism, catoptron, wedge, the collimated light beam transmission direction is changed realize the switching of input light path and output light path, drive collimating apparatus or optical element by magnetic latch formula, running fix, hyperchannel 1 * N photoswitch guarantees that then by little precision electric motor stepping angle precision decision photoswitch inserts the consistance of loss.Therefore, have nothing to do with the optical wavelength of using, polarization state, be not subjected to the restriction of the data layout of system's employing, price is relatively cheap.On structure and processing technology, mechanical optical switch adopts traditional precision optical machinery processing technology, can be further with component of machine, optical element miniaturization, also cascade to a certain extent, as 4 * 4 photoswitches, all adopt 2 * 2 photoswitch cascades and be integral, but can not scale integrated, therefore, overall dimensions be bigger.In addition, the light path of mechanical optical switch is switched, and is to realize by mobile collimating apparatus or optical element, the parts stroke that moves is generally at 0.1～10mm, therefore, be confined to 3～15ms magnitude switching time, hyperchannel 1 * N photoswitch adjacency channel switching time is then about 15ms.
The critical piece of common reflective 1 * 2 mechanical optical switch is relay, bearing and bearing seat, catoptron and two optical fiber collimators.When relay drive mechanical system makes catoptron be in the light path, export from a certain output optical fibre from the light that input optical fibre enters; When being under the drive of catoptron at relay when shifting out light path, the light that enters from input optical fibre will directly be transferred to an other output optical fibre, thereby realize the exchange of light path.
Above-mentioned photoswitch is owing to adopt both sides a collimating apparatus respectively to be arranged and rely on the mode of mechanical motion catoptron to change light path, the general volume of the photoswitch of this structure is bigger, the overall package difficulty of device, impermeability is relatively poor, almost can not pass through the Telcordia failtests.Because volume is bigger, and the space length between input beam and the output beam is longer, thereby brings the insertion loss of device bigger, representative value is greater than 0.5dB in addition; Also have, because volume is bigger, there is a little gap inevitably in the cooperation between the mechanical parts, so there is the variation of a little position of the each action of catoptron, this angle that will influence reflection ray changes, thereby causes the difference of Insertion Loss, that is to say that repeatability is not good enough.Have, the relay that this mechanical optical switch is selected does not have outage hold mode function again.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of microminiature self-locking 1 * 2 mechanical optical switch, bigger to solve the volume that present mechanical optical switch device exists, the overall package difficulty of device, impermeability is relatively poor, repeatability is not good enough and the relay selected do not have outage hold mode function problem.The technical scheme that the present invention takes is: comprise the pedestal 1 that has loam cake 113, chain-wales 2 is fixed on this pedestal 1, the another side that one side is coated with the stationary mirror 5 of highly reflecting films is fixed on the baffle plate 201 of this chain-wales 2, in the circular open place 114 of three tail optical fiber collimating apparatuss, 3 fixed bondings on pedestal 1, at the bonding midget relay 7 of this pedestal internal fixation, be fixed with semi-girder 6 on this relay 7, the one side of flexible mirror 4 is coated with highly reflecting films, and its another side is fixed on the baffle plate 601 of semi-girder 6; Three optical fiber 301,302,303 of described three tail optical fiber collimating apparatuss 3 are fixed in the same glass tube 304, the transverse plane of this glass tube 304 is coated with anti-reflection film, this place, plane and lens 305 fixed bondings of this glass tube 304, the arrangement mode of three optical fiber 301,302,303 in glass tube 304 of three tail optical fiber collimating apparatuss 3 is linear or equilateral triangle; Described relay 7 is relays of a kind of miniature single-pole double-throw (SPDT) band self-locking, its two coils 701 and 702 drive end respectively with pedestal 1 on pin one 03 be connected with pin one 10.
During work, when the current potential of pin one 03 is higher than pin one 10 current potentials, coil 701 adhesives, semi-girder 6 is being with flexible mirror to move into light path; When the current potential of pin one 03 is lower than pin one 10 current potentials, coil 702 adhesives, semi-girder 6 is being with flexible mirror to shift out light path, has realized the switching function of 1 * 2 mechanical optical switch from face.Relay 7 has auto-lock function, can keep original attracting state constant when sudden power.
The invention has the advantages that: novel structure, selected relay are microminiature band self-locking low-power relays, have the function of cutting off self-lock, and can keep original state constant under the situation of outage; Not only switching time fast, also effectively reduce the volume of device, make the overall package of device easy, impermeability is better, repeatability is preferable.Advantages such as it is low also to have loss, and volume is little, and cost is low, and the life-span is long.Method of the present invention is suitable for suitability for industrialized production.
