Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device or a method for optical signal transmission.
  • the 'or Coupling ⁇ of ... light at different points on a preferably planar optical waveguide. ⁇
  • optical fibers in a different configuration are often used for the transmission of optical signals over short distances.
  • flat or planar optical fibers are known for connecting assemblies.
  • Optical fibers of this type are also used in hybrid assemblies together with electrical conductor structures. This is particularly advantageous because one -. • are supplied to the hand required for the operation of the active electronic components of the electrical signals and on the other hand a reliable 'interference and wideband communication by optical means is possible via the Licntwellenleiter.,
  • Reference waveguide This term does not exclusively refer to complete planar structures, but rather means only the areas of the structures provided for light guidance. So this is also includes a system of several planar light guides, which are made from one piece and have impressions for decoupling between the different light paths. Here, only the light-guiding area, but no longer the entire structure, is planar. Furthermore, reference is made to the German utility model DE 200 21 834.4. The contents of this utility model should also form part of this patent application.
  • planar light guides to which the invention relates, comprise at least one light-guiding core which has at least two parallel interfaces. These interfaces in turn have coatings which lead to a reflection of the light guided in the light-conducting core.
  • the invention does not relate to light guides without coatings of the core, whereby this is surrounded, for example, by air, since these cannot be used reliably, particularly in tightly packed or highly integrated assemblies. It must always be ensured that there is a sufficient distance from the light-guiding core to the surroundings. Furthermore, the light-guiding core is very sensitive to dirt and mechanical damage.
  • the arrangement of the parallel interfaces makes the arrangement largely independent of external influences. However, it is also much more difficult to couple light into or out of such arrangements.
  • German utility model DE 90 07 809 describes a precision measuring device with a planar light wave head described. However, this is based on a principle of direct light conduction without reflections.
  • the optical waveguide is used here to transport the light from a laser interferometer to an optical detector. So that path length changes in the order of magnitude of the light wavelength can be determined with a laser interferometer, the optical path in the entire system must be constant at least in the order of magnitude of a light wavelength or even fractions thereof.
  • the optical waveguide described here is therefore designed for indirect propagation of the light coupled into the optical waveguide through a grating to the receiver.
  • the invention relates to optical fibers, in which multiple reflections at interfaces of the light-conducting core are possible. This results in a high degree of independence from the optical angles of the coupling or decoupling elements with respect to the core, and a higher degree of efficiency, since light can also be transmitted at different angles.
  • the coupling or decoupling of the light is preferably carried out on the end faces of the light-conducting core.
  • optical components such as LEDs, laser diodes or photodiodes.
  • coupling into the light guide is not possible at the end faces.
  • complex solutions are necessary here, which use, for example, optical or micro-optical components such as microlenses, mirrors or prisms.
  • a device for transmitting optical signals which has at least one light guide, at least one source for emitting light, at least one receiver for receiving light and at least one means for coupling the source and receiver to the light guide, is designed such that the or the means for coupling comprise gratings for deflecting the light by diffraction.
  • the light guide consists of at least one light-guiding core which has at least two parallel interfaces which are provided with coatings.
  • the core can have any structure which is, for example, homogeneous, has a step index profile or has a gradient index profile. The light is guided by reflections of the light guided in the light-guiding core at the interfaces or the coatings.
  • the core itself is preferably designed as a solid, light-guiding body such as glass or plexiglass. However, it can also consist of a liquid or a gaseous medium.
  • source and receiver used in this document refer generally to light sources or light sinks. In the case of sources, for example, these can be different transmitters in the form of LEDs, laser diodes or even incandescent lamps. Likewise, there are no restrictions with regard to the receivers, so that these can be, for example, photodiodes or human Can be eye.
  • Any means for transporting light or for guiding or shaping light beams such as, for example, light-conducting fibers which transport light from a remote light source to the device according to the invention, can also be regarded as a light source in relation to the device according to the invention. It is essential for the invention that light is fed in from outside (source) and light can be emitted again outside (receiver).
  • At least one grid is present on the outside of a coating.
  • a grating on the outside of a coating, only a coupling of light into the light-guiding core is possible.
  • such an element can be used in conjunction with other elements according to the invention for coupling out elements suitable for light.
  • At least one grating is provided at an interface of the light-guiding core.
  • Such an arrangement at an interface of the light-guiding core enables not only the coupling of light into the light-guiding core but also the coupling out of light. In combination with such configurations, a complete transmission of light between a source and a receiver is possible.
  • An arrangement of a grating on an interface of the light-conducting core has the opposite of the arrangement of a grating on the outside of a coating
  • this embodiment has a lower transmission loss than an arrangement of a grating on the outside of a coating.
  • light incident vertically from the outside is already deflected by the grating on the outside of the coating into an oblique angle that can be guided in the core. It runs through the coating at a relatively flat angle and thus over a relatively long distance.
  • the coating usually has a significantly higher damping compared to the core. If the light passes vertically through the coating and is only deflected on the surface of the core, it travels a much shorter distance in the coating and thus experiences less attenuation. This will have a positive impact on the current account of the entire transmission system.
  • the coating comprises a material that has self-reflecting properties
  • either the grating itself must be introduced into this coating, which can be realized, for example, in the form of openings, or a recess in the coating must be provided at the location of the grating.
  • a grating at the interfaces of the light-conducting core can preferably be produced in a single operation together with the surface of the core.
  • the grid can already be embossed with a stamp that simultaneously shapes the contour of the surface.
  • At least one grating is incorporated in a coating. embedded.
  • mechanical protection of the grille can be achieved on the one hand, and damping reduced on the other hand compared to an arrangement of the grille on the surface of the coating.
  • Such an arrangement can also advantageously be manufactured if the core has to be produced in a separate, independent process.
  • the grid is then applied together with the coating in a second process step.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides at least one grid which is embedded in the core. This embedding in the core enables production in one production step and offers optimal protection against external influences.
  • At least one additional grating for redirecting the direction of the light is embedded in the core.
  • At least one grid is fixed at a predetermined position. Such grids are thus already manufactured at certain predetermined positions using the manufacturing process. They are characterized by high mechanical stability and robustness.
  • at least one grid is designed to be reversible. Such a reversible grid can be activated or deactivated depending on the requirements of the current operating state. If the grid is activated at a certain point, coupling in and out is possible at this point. Uncoupling is no longer possible. This enables the distribution of light from different transmitters to different receivers to be controlled. If a reversible grating for light deflection is integrated into the core, the direction of the light or the beam distribution can also be controlled through the grating. With regard to the reversible grating, reference is made to the international publication WO 99/04309, the contents of which are also intended to be part of this patent application.
  • a further advantageous embodiment consists in that at least one reversible grid can be activated or deactivated by means of a signal or by supplying energy. This results in controllable gratings, by means of which active control of the optical signal flow is possible. In this way, the light supply to or from certain receivers or transmitters can be controlled in a targeted manner.
  • At least one grid consists of liquid crystals.
  • liquid crystals can be particularly simple
  • the means for coupling comprise scattering centers for deflecting the light by means of scattering.
  • scattering centers are suitable for scattering the light, such as, for example, particles of a different material or regions of a different state of the core material, for example in a different crystal structure or also in another state of aggregation, such as small gas bubbles in a liquid.

  • the means for coupling comprise parts or structures with a different refractive index than the core for deflecting the light by means of refraction.
  • the means for coupling comprise parts or structures with a different refractive index than the core for deflecting the light by means of refraction.
  • Another advantageous embodiment of the invention provides at least one indentation in the light-conducting core, which is filled with a material that has a different refractive index than the core. This results in a direction at the transition between the core and the material of the depression.
  • the material with a different refractive index can be a solid, a liquid or a gaseous substance. It can also be a material that changes its refractive index due to electrical signals or the supply of energy.
  • Another advantageous embodiment of the invention sees at least one area with respect to the core and different refractive index for redirecting the direction of the light in the core. This means that light control or directional control can be implemented within the core.
