Description

A kind of optoisolator that is used for optical fiber communication
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of optoisolator that is used for optical fiber communication, be used to prevent that the light beam that luminescent devices such as laser instrument, image intensifer send from returning light source again behind the optical components downstream end face reflection, can be applicable in the optical fiber telecommunications system, belong to laser, technical field of optical fiber communication.
Background technology
In optical fiber telecommunications system, when the flashlight that luminescent device sends runs into optical element end face in the light path of downstream, have part light and be reflected back toward light source, cause light source video stretching, noise increase, power shakiness, performance degradation etc.In order to protect luminescent devices such as laser instrument, image intensifer, eliminate the reflecting light of not expecting, guarantee system stable operation, often need in the light path of light source output terminal back, place a kind of optical device that allows the light one-way transmission, be referred to as optoisolator usually.
The optoisolator that light communication is used can be divided into two classes by polarization characteristic, i.e. polarization relationship type and polarization independent type.Existing polarization relationship type optoisolator mainly is mutually the polarizer and the analyzer of 45 by the direction of shaking thoroughly, and places Faraday polarization apparatus between the two to form.Incident light becomes linearly polarized light after by the polarizer, through thoroughly the shake direction rotation 45 ° of its plane of polarization behind the Faraday polarization apparatus to analyzer, just in time is parallel to the direction of shaking thoroughly of analyzer, thereby can passes through analyzer smoothly again; Emergent light is reverse through analyzer and Faraday polarization apparatus by the end face part of optical element in the light path of downstream reflection back, because the nonreciprocal Faraday effect of Faraday polarization apparatus, the reflected light plane of polarization is vertical with the polarizer direction of shaking thoroughly along continuing 45 ° of rotations with the direction of the identical rotation direction of incident light polarization face, thereby make light beam can't oppositely pass through the polarizer, realize isolation effect.Because Faraday polarization apparatus is relevant with the temperature of plane polarization light wavelength and this device environment of living in to the angle of linearly polarized light rotation, therefore, this type of optoisolator can only be realized above-mentioned functions usually in less relatively temperature range.
Polarization independent type optical isolator mainly contains two kinds of wedge type (wedge type) and displacement types (walk-off type), and its ultimate principle is similar, includes two polarizing beam splitters and a Faraday polarization apparatus.Incident light enters first polarizing beam splitter behind first GRIN Lens collimation, its two orthogonal polarization components with incident beam (being o light and the e light in the uniaxial crystal) are made apart, the light beam that forward passes through synthesizes a branch of light again at the second polarizing beam splitter place behind Faraday polarization apparatus, be coupled in the fiber core through second GRIN Lens and export.Because the nonreciprocal Faraday effect of Faraday polarization apparatus, folded light beam through second polarizing beam splitter, Faraday polarization apparatus and first polarizing beam splitter after, o light and e light is separately big distance in the space, can not synthesize a branch of light again and enter first GRIN Lens, thereby realize isolation effect.Yet in this type of optoisolator, the outgoing position and the incoming position of light beam have transversal displacement, and described two cross polarization light components need separate big distance in the space, this has not only increased optical path length, and introduce polarization mode dispersion easily, make that this class device volume is big, cost is high, performance is not ideal enough.In some device, in order further to improve isolation, offset the polarizing coating chromatic dispersion, change the employing two-stage structure into, yet this has further increased the volume of device again, be unfavorable for the needs of miniaturization.
