Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve detection efficiency and detection accuracy in a live line detection device for an optical fiber. <P>SOLUTION: This device is equipped with a first support body 1 for supporting an optical fiber 3 on the incident side, a second support body 2 for supporting an optical fiber 4 on the emission side, and a photodetection element 5 for detecting light. The first support body 1 and one end face of the optical fiber 3 form an inclined plane having a tilt angle of 45 degrees, and the second support body 2 and one end face of the optical fiber 4 also form an inclined plane having a tilt angle of 45 degrees. The first support body 1 and the second support body 2 are allowed to adhere to each other with an adhesive in the form wherein each end face (each inclined plane 7, 8) of both optical fibers 3, 4 faces each other approximately in parallel. Hereby, since the width of an adhesive layer 9 is not regulated by the thickness of a dicing blade, the width of the adhesive layer 9 can be easily narrowed furthermore than the width of an inclined groove as in a conventional example, to thereby suppress scattered light. Consequently, detection efficiency and detection accuracy can be improved. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&amp;INPIT

Description

本発明は、光ファイバが活線状態にあるか否かを検出する活線検出装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a hot-wire detection device that detects whether or not an optical fiber is in a hot-wire state.

近年、通信線路として光ファイバが急速に普及してきており、光通信事業者の光通信局や一般のオフィスビルに引き込まれた光ファイバケーブルを局内若しくはビル内における光配線用の多数の光ファイバコードに接続するために光成端箱(光成端トレイとも呼ばれる)が用いられている。また、この種の光成端箱では、光ファイバコードの各心線(光ファイバ心線)が活線状態(光信号が伝送されている状態)か否かを検出する活線検出装置が搭載されている。   In recent years, optical fibers have been rapidly spreading as communication lines, and optical fiber cables drawn into optical communication stations of optical communication companies and general office buildings can be used for many optical fiber cords for optical wiring in a station or building. An optical termination box (also referred to as an optical termination tray) is used to connect to the cable. In addition, this type of optical termination box is equipped with a hot-wire detection device that detects whether or not each core wire (optical fiber core wire) of the optical fiber cord is in a live-wire state (a state in which an optical signal is transmitted). Has been.

従来の活線検出装置として特許文献1に記載されているものがある。この従来装置は、図8(a)に示すようにシリコン基板501上にコア層510及びこのコア層510を覆う上部及び下部クラッド層503、502が形成されてなる光導波路を備え、当該光導波路のコア層510並びにクラッド層502,503にはダイシングによる傾斜溝が形成され、当該傾斜溝の内部には透明樹脂511が充填されており、コア層510を伝搬する光信号の一部が前記傾斜溝の側面を利用した反射鏡512で反射される光を光検出素子506の受光部507で受光する構成となっている。
特開2001−13339号公報
A conventional hot-wire detection device is described in Patent Document 1. As shown in FIG. 8A, the conventional apparatus includes an optical waveguide in which a core layer 510 and upper and lower cladding layers 503 and 502 covering the core layer 510 are formed on a silicon substrate 501, and the optical waveguide is provided. The core layer 510 and the clad layers 502 and 503 are formed with inclined grooves by dicing, and the inclined grooves are filled with a transparent resin 511, and a part of the optical signal propagating through the core layer 510 is inclined. The light reflected by the reflecting mirror 512 using the side surface of the groove is received by the light receiving unit 507 of the light detecting element 506.
JP 2001-13339 A

ところで、特許文献1に記載されている従来例では、ダイシングによってコア層510並びにクラッド層502,503に傾斜溝を形成しているため、当該傾斜溝がダイシングブレードの厚み程度の幅寸法を有している。例えば、特許文献1には傾斜溝の幅が20μメートルと記載されており、クラッド層502,503の厚み(10μメートル)に比べて2倍程度の大きさになっている。このように傾斜溝の幅が大きくなっていると、図8(b)に示すようにコア層510を伝搬する光が傾斜溝に充填された透明樹脂511内で散乱してしまい、受光部507に達する反射光の光量が減少して検出効率が低下してしまう虞がある。しかしながら、従来例では傾斜溝の幅がダイシングブレードの厚みで決まってしまうので、当該幅を狭めることは容易ではない。また、上記散乱光の影響によって何れかの光導波路を伝搬する光信号が隣接する光導波路に対応する受光部507で誤検出されてしまう現象(いわゆるクロストーク)が生じて検出精度が低下してしまう虞がある。   By the way, in the conventional example described in Patent Document 1, since the inclined grooves are formed in the core layer 510 and the cladding layers 502 and 503 by dicing, the inclined grooves have a width dimension about the thickness of the dicing blade. ing. For example, Patent Document 1 describes that the width of the inclined groove is 20 μm, which is about twice as large as the thickness of the cladding layers 502 and 503 (10 μm). When the width of the inclined groove is increased as described above, the light propagating through the core layer 510 is scattered in the transparent resin 511 filled in the inclined groove as shown in FIG. There is a risk that the detection efficiency will be reduced due to a decrease in the amount of reflected light that reaches. However, in the conventional example, since the width of the inclined groove is determined by the thickness of the dicing blade, it is not easy to reduce the width. In addition, a phenomenon (so-called crosstalk) in which an optical signal propagating through one of the optical waveguides is erroneously detected by the light receiving unit 507 corresponding to the adjacent optical waveguide due to the influence of the scattered light occurs, and the detection accuracy is reduced. There is a risk of it.

以下、本発明に係る光ファイバの活線検出装置の実施形態について図面を参照して詳細に説明する。   Embodiments of an optical fiber hot-wire detection apparatus according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

(実施形態1)
本実施形態の活線検出装置は、図1に示すように入射側の4本の光ファイバ3を支持する第1支持体1と、出射側の4本の光ファイバ4を支持する第2支持体2と、光を検出する光検出素子5とを備えている。
(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIG. 1, the hot-wire detection apparatus of the present embodiment includes a first support 1 that supports four optical fibers 3 on the incident side and a second support that supports four optical fibers 4 on the output side. A body 2 and a light detection element 5 for detecting light are provided.

第1支持体1は、断面形状V字形の4本の固定溝(V溝)11が平行且つ等間隔で表面に形成されたV溝基板10と、V溝基板10との間で固定溝11に嵌め込まれた光ファイバ3を狭持するカバー12とで構成されている。同様に第2支持体2は、断面形状V字形の4本の固定溝(V溝)21が平行且つ等間隔で表面に形成されたV溝基板20と、V溝基板20との間で固定溝21に嵌め込まれた光ファイバ4を狭持するカバー22とで構成されている。V溝基板10,20はシリコン基板からなり、KOH(水酸化カリウム)若しくはTMAH(水酸化テトラメチルアンモニウム)などのアルカリ水溶液を用いた異方性エッチングによって、主面(表面)に固定溝11,21が形成されている。但し、V溝基板10,20を石英又は金属又はポリマー材料で形成し、切削などの機械加工によって固定溝11,21を形成することも可能である。   The first support 1 includes a fixed groove 11 between a V-groove substrate 10 having four fixed grooves (V-grooves) 11 having a V-shaped cross section formed on the surface in parallel and at equal intervals, and the V-groove substrate 10. And a cover 12 that holds the optical fiber 3 fitted into the cover. Similarly, the second support 2 is fixed between the V-groove substrate 20 and four V-groove substrates 20 having four fixed grooves (V-grooves) 21 having a V-shaped cross section formed on the surface in parallel and at equal intervals. And a cover 22 that holds the optical fiber 4 fitted in the groove 21. The V-groove substrates 10 and 20 are made of a silicon substrate, and fixed grooves 11 and 20 are formed on the main surface (surface) by anisotropic etching using an alkaline aqueous solution such as KOH (potassium hydroxide) or TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide). 21 is formed. However, the V-groove substrates 10 and 20 may be formed of quartz, metal, or polymer material, and the fixed grooves 11 and 21 may be formed by machining such as cutting.

カバー12,22は透明であり且つ光ファイバ3,4のクラッド31,41よりも屈折率の高い材料によって平板状に形成されている。尚、カバー12,22は、光ファイバ3,4を固定するために固定溝11,21に充填される接着剤6によってV溝基板10,20の主面(表面)に貼着される(図1(c)参照)。   The covers 12 and 22 are transparent and are formed in a flat plate shape with a material having a higher refractive index than the clads 31 and 41 of the optical fibers 3 and 4. The covers 12 and 22 are adhered to the main surfaces (front surfaces) of the V-groove substrates 10 and 20 by an adhesive 6 filled in the fixing grooves 11 and 21 in order to fix the optical fibers 3 and 4 (FIG. 1 (c)).

このようにV溝からなる固定溝11,21に嵌め込むことで光ファイバ3,4を保持しているので、複数本の光ファイバ3,4の位置精度を容易に高めることができる。しかも、個々の光ファイバ3,4が固定溝11,21の両側面とカバー12,22によって3方向から支持されているため、光ファイバ3,4のがたつきを無くすことができる。   Thus, since the optical fibers 3 and 4 are hold | maintained by fitting in the fixed grooves 11 and 21 which consist of V-grooves, the positional accuracy of the multiple optical fibers 3 and 4 can be raised easily. In addition, since the individual optical fibers 3 and 4 are supported from the three directions by the both side surfaces of the fixing grooves 11 and 21 and the covers 12 and 22, rattling of the optical fibers 3 and 4 can be eliminated.

第1支持体1及び入射側の光ファイバ3の一方の端面(図1(b)における右側の端面)は、当該端面の法線方向と入射側の光ファイバ3の軸方向(図1(b)における左右方向)とが鋭角(本実施形態では45度)となる傾斜面7として形成されている。また、第2支持体2及び出射側の光ファイバ4の一方の端面(図1(b)における左側の端面)は、当該端面の法線方向と出射側の光ファイバ4の軸方向(図1(b)における左右方向)とが鋭角(本実施形態では45度)となる傾斜面8として形成されている。そして、第1支持体1と第2支持体2とは、傾斜面7,8同士が略平行に対向する形で透光性を有する接着剤によって接着され、第1支持体1の傾斜面7と第2支持体2の傾斜面8との間には前記接着剤からなる接着層9が介在している。   One end face (the right end face in FIG. 1B) of the first support 1 and the incident-side optical fiber 3 has a normal direction to the end face and an axial direction of the incident-side optical fiber 3 (FIG. 1B). ) Is formed as an inclined surface 7 having an acute angle (45 degrees in this embodiment). Also, one end face (the left end face in FIG. 1B) of the second support 2 and the output side optical fiber 4 is in the normal direction of the end face and the axial direction of the output side optical fiber 4 (FIG. 1). It is formed as an inclined surface 8 having an acute angle (45 degrees in this embodiment). And the 1st support body 1 and the 2nd support body 2 are adhere | attached with the adhesive which has translucency in the form in which the inclined surfaces 7 and 8 oppose substantially parallel, The inclined surface 7 of the 1st support body 1 is provided. And an inclined surface 8 of the second support 2, an adhesive layer 9 made of the adhesive is interposed.

光検出素子5は、長手方向の寸法が第1支持体1及び第2支持体2の幅寸法(図1(a)における上下方向の長さ寸法)と略等しい平面視長方形の半導体基板50と、半導体基板50の短手方向中央において長手方向に一列に並ぶ形で形成された4つの受光部51とを有するフォトダイオードアレイからなる。尚、半導体基板50の長手方向における受光部51のピッチ(間隔)は第1支持体1及び第2支持体2に支持されている光ファイバ3,4におけるコア30,40のピッチ(間隔)と略一致している(図1(c)参照)。また、第1支持体1並びに第2支持体2のカバー12,22表面において、第1支持体1並びに第2支持体2の厚み方向(図1(b)における上下方向)から見て光ファイバ3,4のコア30,40の端面と接着層9との界面に4つの受光部51がそれぞれ重なる位置に光検出素子5が配置され、カバー12,22を形成する材料よりも屈折率の高い接着剤によってカバー12,22の表面に実装(ダイボンディング)されている。   The photodetector 5 has a rectangular semiconductor substrate 50 having a longitudinal dimension substantially equal to the width dimension of the first support 1 and the second support 2 (the vertical dimension in FIG. 1A). And a photodiode array having four light receiving portions 51 formed in a line in the longitudinal direction at the center in the short direction of the semiconductor substrate 50. The pitch (interval) of the light receiving portions 51 in the longitudinal direction of the semiconductor substrate 50 is the same as the pitch (interval) of the cores 30 and 40 in the optical fibers 3 and 4 supported by the first support 1 and the second support 2. They are almost coincident (see FIG. 1C). Further, on the surfaces of the covers 12 and 22 of the first support 1 and the second support 2, the optical fibers are viewed from the thickness direction of the first support 1 and the second support 2 (vertical direction in FIG. 1B). The light detection element 5 is disposed at a position where the four light receiving portions 51 overlap each other at the interface between the end faces of the cores 30 and 40 and the adhesive layer 9, and has a higher refractive index than the material forming the covers 12 and 22. It is mounted (die-bonded) on the surface of the covers 12 and 22 with an adhesive.

而して、入射側の光ファイバ3を伝搬する光(光信号)の一部が、傾斜面7と接着層9の界面並びに接着層9と傾斜面8の界面において光ファイバ3,4の軸方向(図1(b)における左右方向)と直交する方向に反射し、反射した光(反射光)がその光路上に配設されている光検出素子5の受光部51に入射することになる。よって、光検出素子5からは反射光の光量に応じた電流信号が出力されるため、この電流信号の大小に応じて光ファイバ3,4の活線状態を検出することができる。ここで、本実施形態では第1支持体1と第2支持体2とが接着層9を介して接合されているので、第1支持体1に支持された光ファイバ3の端面と第2支持体2に支持された光ファイバ4の端面との距離(接着層9の厚み)を、従来例における傾斜溝の幅よりも充分に狭めることができる。何故なら、従来例では傾斜溝を形成するためのダイシングブレードの厚みによって傾斜溝の幅が決まってしまうが、本実施形態では接着層9の厚みをダイシングブレードの厚みよりも充分に狭くすることができるからである。   Thus, a part of the light (optical signal) propagating through the optical fiber 3 on the incident side is part of the axis of the optical fibers 3 and 4 at the interface between the inclined surface 7 and the adhesive layer 9 and the interface between the adhesive layer 9 and the inclined surface 8. Reflected in a direction perpendicular to the direction (left and right direction in FIG. 1B), the reflected light (reflected light) enters the light receiving portion 51 of the light detection element 5 disposed on the optical path. . Therefore, since a current signal corresponding to the amount of reflected light is output from the light detection element 5, the live line state of the optical fibers 3 and 4 can be detected according to the magnitude of the current signal. Here, in this embodiment, since the 1st support body 1 and the 2nd support body 2 are joined via the contact bonding layer 9, the end surface of the optical fiber 3 supported by the 1st support body 1 and a 2nd support The distance from the end face of the optical fiber 4 supported by the body 2 (the thickness of the adhesive layer 9) can be sufficiently narrower than the width of the inclined groove in the conventional example. This is because, in the conventional example, the width of the inclined groove is determined by the thickness of the dicing blade for forming the inclined groove, but in this embodiment, the thickness of the adhesive layer 9 can be made sufficiently smaller than the thickness of the dicing blade. Because it can.

このように本実施形態の活線検出装置では、接着層9の幅がダイシングブレードの厚みで規制されないため、従来例における傾斜溝の幅よりも接着層9の幅を容易に狭めることができて散乱光を抑制することができる。そして、散乱光を抑制することで検出効率の向上が図れるとともに、何れかの光ファイバ3,4の端面と接着層9の界面で反射した反射光が隣り合う別の光ファイバ3,4に対応した受光部51で受光されてしまう現象(クロストーク)を低減して検出精度の向上が図れるものである。尚、接着層9を形成する接着剤の屈折率が光ファイバ3,4のコア30,40の屈折率よりも高いと、図2に示すように接着層9と光ファイバ4の端面との界面で反射した反射光(図2における破線矢印イ参照)の一部(図2における破線矢印ロ参照)が接着層9に伝搬されてしまうために受光部51に入射する反射光の光量が減少して検出効率が低下してしまうことになる。従って、接着層9を形成する接着剤には、光ファイバ3,4のコア30,40よりも屈折率の低いものを用いる必要がある。また、反射光の光量については、接着層9を形成する接着剤の屈折率と光ファイバ3,4のコア30,40の屈折率との差(屈折率差)を増減することで容易に調整できる。   As described above, in the live line detection device of the present embodiment, since the width of the adhesive layer 9 is not restricted by the thickness of the dicing blade, the width of the adhesive layer 9 can be easily narrower than the width of the inclined groove in the conventional example. Scattered light can be suppressed. In addition, the detection efficiency can be improved by suppressing the scattered light, and the reflected light reflected at the interface between the end face of one of the optical fibers 3 and 4 and the adhesive layer 9 corresponds to another adjacent optical fiber 3 or 4. The detection accuracy can be improved by reducing the phenomenon (crosstalk) received by the light receiving section 51. If the refractive index of the adhesive forming the adhesive layer 9 is higher than the refractive index of the cores 30 and 40 of the optical fibers 3 and 4, the interface between the adhesive layer 9 and the end face of the optical fiber 4 is shown in FIG. A part of the reflected light (see the broken line arrow b in FIG. 2) (see the broken line arrow b in FIG. 2) is propagated to the adhesive layer 9, so that the amount of reflected light incident on the light receiving portion 51 is reduced. As a result, the detection efficiency is lowered. Therefore, it is necessary to use an adhesive having a refractive index lower than that of the cores 30 and 40 of the optical fibers 3 and 4 as an adhesive for forming the adhesive layer 9. The amount of reflected light can be easily adjusted by increasing or decreasing the difference (refractive index difference) between the refractive index of the adhesive forming the adhesive layer 9 and the refractive indexes of the cores 30 and 40 of the optical fibers 3 and 4. it can.

ここで、本実施形態では傾斜面7,8の傾斜角(傾斜面7,8の法線方向と光ファイバ3,4の軸方向とがなす角度。以下同じ。)が45度に設定されているので、反射光の光路が光ファイバ3,4の軸方向と直交することになる。一方、光検出素子5が実装されるカバー12,22の表面は光ファイバ3,4の軸方向と平行であるから、光検出素子5の受光部51の受光面(図2における下面)に対して反射光が垂直に入射することになって効率的な検出が可能となる。しかも、反射光の光路上に受光部51を配置するに当たっては、第1支持体1並びに第2支持体2の厚み方向(図2における上下方向)から見て光ファイバ3,4のコア30,40の端面と接着層9との界面に4つの受光部51がそれぞれ重なるようにすればよいから、位置合わせを容易に行うことができて光検出素子5の実装工程を簡素化して製造コストを削減することができる。   Here, in this embodiment, the inclination angle of the inclined surfaces 7 and 8 (the angle formed by the normal direction of the inclined surfaces 7 and 8 and the axial direction of the optical fibers 3 and 4; the same applies hereinafter) is set to 45 degrees. Therefore, the optical path of the reflected light is orthogonal to the axial direction of the optical fibers 3 and 4. On the other hand, since the surfaces of the covers 12 and 22 on which the light detecting element 5 is mounted are parallel to the axial direction of the optical fibers 3 and 4, the light receiving surface of the light receiving portion 51 of the light detecting element 5 (the lower surface in FIG. 2). As a result, the reflected light is incident vertically, and efficient detection becomes possible. In addition, when the light receiving unit 51 is disposed on the optical path of the reflected light, the cores 30 of the optical fibers 3 and 4 as viewed from the thickness direction (vertical direction in FIG. 2) of the first support 1 and the second support 2 Since the four light receiving portions 51 only need to overlap each other at the interface between the end face of 40 and the adhesive layer 9, the positioning can be easily performed, and the mounting process of the light detection element 5 can be simplified to reduce the manufacturing cost. Can be reduced.

ところで本実施形態では、図3(a)〜(c)に示すように一つの光ファイバ110並びに当該一つの光ファイバ110を支持する一つの支持体100を分断することによって第1支持体1と第2支持体2並びに入射側の光ファイバ3と出射側の光ファイバ4を形成している。すなわち、図3(a)に示すように支持体100はV溝基板101とカバー102で構成され、V溝基板101に形成された固定溝103に光ファイバ110が嵌め込まれるとともにV溝基板101に貼着されるカバー102との間で光ファイバ110を挟み込んで支持している。   By the way, in this embodiment, as shown to Fig.3 (a)-(c), the 1st optical fiber 110 and the 1st support body 1 by dividing | segmenting the 1 support body 100 which supports the said 1 optical fiber 110 are separated. The second support 2, the incident side optical fiber 3 and the output side optical fiber 4 are formed. That is, as shown in FIG. 3A, the support body 100 includes a V-groove substrate 101 and a cover 102, and the optical fiber 110 is fitted into the fixed groove 103 formed in the V-groove substrate 101 and the V-groove substrate 101 is fitted. The optical fiber 110 is sandwiched and supported between the cover 102 to be attached.

上述のように構成された支持体100並びに光ファイバ110を、光ファイバ110の軸方向に対して45度傾斜した方向からダイシングすれば、図3(b)に示すように断面(傾斜面7,8)の法線方向と光ファイバ3,4の軸方向とのなす角度が45度となった2つの部分、すなわち、第1支持体1及び入射側の光ファイバ3と、第2支持体2及び出射側の光ファイバ4とに分断することができる。そして、既に説明したように第1支持体1と第2支持体2とを、傾斜面7,8同士が略平行に対向する形で接着剤によって接着する(図3(c)参照)。このとき、双方のV溝基板10,20の底面を基準面として第1支持体1と第2支持体2を結合すれば、もともとは一つの支持体100を分断したものであることから、支持体1,2の厚み方向(図3(c)における上下方向)においては光ファイバ3,4の軸合わせが容易に行えるものである。尚、傾斜面7,8における散乱光を抑制して反射光の損失を低減するため、光ファイバ3,4の断面を研磨することが望ましい。   If the support 100 and the optical fiber 110 configured as described above are diced from a direction inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the axial direction of the optical fiber 110, a cross section (inclined surfaces 7, 8) Two portions where the angle between the normal direction and the axial direction of the optical fibers 3 and 4 is 45 degrees, that is, the first support 1 and the incident-side optical fiber 3 and the second support 2. And the optical fiber 4 on the emission side. And as already demonstrated, the 1st support body 1 and the 2nd support body 2 are adhere | attached with an adhesive agent in the form in which the inclined surfaces 7 and 8 oppose substantially parallel (refer FIG.3 (c)). At this time, if the first support body 1 and the second support body 2 are combined with the bottom surfaces of both V-groove substrates 10 and 20 as the reference plane, the support body 100 is originally divided, so that the support The optical fibers 3 and 4 can be easily aligned in the thickness direction of the bodies 1 and 2 (vertical direction in FIG. 3C). Incidentally, in order to suppress the scattered light on the inclined surfaces 7 and 8 and reduce the loss of the reflected light, it is desirable to polish the cross section of the optical fibers 3 and 4.

尚、上述のように光ファイバ110の軸方向に対して45度傾斜した方向からダイシングする切断方法は汎用的ではなく、また支持体1,2や光ファイバ3,4の肉厚が薄くなる鋭角部分ではチッピングによる不良が発生し易い。そこで、図4(a),(b)に示すように光ファイバ110を支持した支持体100を、ダイシングによって光ファイバ110の軸方向と略直交する方向に分断し、さらに当該断面を研磨して傾斜面7,8を形成することで第1支持体1と第2支持体2並びに入射側の光ファイバ3と出射側の光ファイバ4を形成すれば、チッピングによる不良は発生しない。また、上述のように傾斜した方向からダイシングする場合と比較して、断面を研磨して傾斜面7,8を形成する加工作業の方が汎用技術を利用して容易に実行できる。   Note that the cutting method of dicing from the direction inclined 45 degrees with respect to the axial direction of the optical fiber 110 as described above is not general-purpose, and the acute angles at which the thicknesses of the supports 1 and 2 and the optical fibers 3 and 4 are reduced. Defects due to chipping are likely to occur at the portions. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the support body 100 that supports the optical fiber 110 is divided in a direction substantially orthogonal to the axial direction of the optical fiber 110 by dicing, and the cross section is further polished. If the inclined surfaces 7 and 8 are formed to form the first support 1 and the second support 2 as well as the incident-side optical fiber 3 and the exit-side optical fiber 4, no defects due to chipping occur. Further, as compared with the case of dicing from the inclined direction as described above, the processing operation of polishing the cross section to form the inclined surfaces 7 and 8 can be performed more easily using a general-purpose technique.

(実施形態2)
本実施形態は、図5に示すように第1支持体1並びに第2支持体2の各固定溝11,21の表面に、光の反射を防止する反射防止膜13,23が形成されている点に特徴がある。但し、これ以外の構成は実施形態1と共通であるから、共通の構成要素には同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。
(Embodiment 2)
In the present embodiment, antireflection films 13 and 23 for preventing light reflection are formed on the surfaces of the fixing grooves 11 and 21 of the first support 1 and the second support 2 as shown in FIG. There is a feature in the point. However, since the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

実施形態1で説明したように接着層9の幅を狭めることで界面における光の散乱を抑制することができるものの、散乱光を完全に無くすことはできない。界面において光の散乱が発生すると、図5に破線矢印ハで示すように反射光の光路と異なる方向に伝搬した散乱光が固定溝11,21の表面で反射し、隣の光ファイバ3,4に対応する受光部51に到達してクロストークが生じてしまう虞がある。   As described in the first embodiment, the scattering of light at the interface can be suppressed by narrowing the width of the adhesive layer 9, but the scattered light cannot be completely eliminated. When light scattering occurs at the interface, the scattered light propagating in a direction different from the optical path of the reflected light is reflected by the surfaces of the fixed grooves 11 and 21, as indicated by broken line arrows C in FIG. There is a risk that crosstalk will occur when the light-receiving unit 51 corresponding to the above is reached.

そこで本実施形態では、上述のように固定溝11,21の表面に反射防止膜13,23を形成することにより、散乱光が隣の光ファイバ3,4に対応する受光部51に到達することを抑制してクロストークを低減しているのである。   Therefore, in the present embodiment, the antireflection films 13 and 23 are formed on the surfaces of the fixing grooves 11 and 21 as described above, so that the scattered light reaches the light receiving unit 51 corresponding to the adjacent optical fibers 3 and 4. This suppresses crosstalk and reduces crosstalk.

(実施形態3)
本実施形態は、図6に示すように光検出素子5の受光部51と入射側及び出射側の光ファイバ3,4との間における反射光の光路を除く部位に遮光膜14(24)が形成されている点に特徴がある。但し、これ以外の構成は実施形態1と共通であるから、共通の構成要素には同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。
(Embodiment 3)
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a light shielding film 14 (24) is provided at a portion excluding the optical path of the reflected light between the light receiving portion 51 of the light detecting element 5 and the optical fibers 3 and 4 on the incident side and the outgoing side. It is characterized in that it is formed. However, since the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

遮光膜14(24)は、カバー12,22のV溝基板10,20との対向面(接合面)に光を吸収する材料が成膜されて形成されている。そして、第1支持体1並びに第2支持体2の厚み方向(図6における上下方向)から見て光ファイバ3(4)のコア30(40)の端面と接着層9との界面にそれぞれ重なる位置においては、遮光膜14(24)が形成されていない窓孔15(25)が開口している。   The light shielding film 14 (24) is formed by depositing a light absorbing material on the surface (bonding surface) of the covers 12, 22 facing the V-groove substrates 10, 20. The first support 1 and the second support 2 overlap with the interface between the end face of the core 30 (40) of the optical fiber 3 (4) and the adhesive layer 9 when viewed from the thickness direction (vertical direction in FIG. 6). At the position, a window hole 15 (25) in which the light shielding film 14 (24) is not formed is opened.

而して、本実施形態によれば、界面で反射した反射光は遮光膜14(24)に開口する窓孔15(25)を通過して対応する受光部51で受光されるが、界面で生じた散乱光は遮光膜14(24)で遮光されて隣の光ファイバ3(4)に対応する受光部51に到達しないので、クロストークを抑制して検出精度の向上が図れるものである。尚、本実施形態の構成と実施形態2の構成を組み合わせることでクロストークをさらに抑制(低減)することができる。   Thus, according to the present embodiment, the reflected light reflected at the interface passes through the window hole 15 (25) opened in the light shielding film 14 (24) and is received by the corresponding light receiving unit 51. The generated scattered light is shielded by the light shielding film 14 (24) and does not reach the light receiving portion 51 corresponding to the adjacent optical fiber 3 (4), so that crosstalk can be suppressed and detection accuracy can be improved. Note that crosstalk can be further suppressed (reduced) by combining the configuration of the present embodiment and the configuration of the second embodiment.

(実施形態4)
本実施形態は、図7に示すように出射側の光ファイバ4において、コア40を挟んで光検出素子5の受光部51と対向する側の外周面(図7における下側の外周面)に反射膜26が形成されている点に特徴がある。但し、これ以外の構成は実施形態1と共通であるから、共通の構成要素には同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。
(Embodiment 4)
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, in the optical fiber 4 on the emission side, on the outer peripheral surface (the lower outer peripheral surface in FIG. 7) on the side facing the light receiving portion 51 of the photodetecting element 5 with the core 40 interposed therebetween. It is characterized in that the reflective film 26 is formed. However, since the other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

反射膜26は、光ファイバ4のクラッド41の外周面に金又は銀若しくは金合金や銀合金などの金属を蒸着やスパッタリング、めっき等の周知の方法で成膜することで形成される。   The reflective film 26 is formed by depositing gold, silver, or a metal such as a gold alloy or a silver alloy on the outer peripheral surface of the clad 41 of the optical fiber 4 by a known method such as vapor deposition, sputtering, or plating.

而して、本実施形態によれば、図7に破線矢印で示すように界面で生じる散乱光の一部が反射膜26で反射され、反射光と同じ光路を通って対応する受光部51に到達するので、受光部51の受光光量が増大することで検出効率をさらに向上することができる。しかも、反射膜26がコア40を挟んで受光部51と対向する側の外周面にのみ形成されているので、反射膜26で反射した散乱光が隣の光ファイバ4に対応する受光部51に到達しないので、クロストークを抑制して検出精度の向上が図れるものである。尚、本実施形態の構成を実施形態2又は3の構成の少なくとも何れか一方と組み合わせても構わない。また、本実施形態では出射側の光ファイバ4に反射膜26が形成されているが、第1支持体1の傾斜面7と第2支持体2の傾斜面8の相対的な位置関係(上下関係)を反転させた場合には、入射側の光ファイバ3に反射膜を形成すればよい。   Thus, according to the present embodiment, a part of the scattered light generated at the interface is reflected by the reflection film 26 as shown by the broken line arrow in FIG. 7 and passes through the same optical path as the reflected light to the corresponding light receiving unit 51. Therefore, the detection efficiency can be further improved by increasing the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 51. Moreover, since the reflective film 26 is formed only on the outer peripheral surface on the side facing the light receiving part 51 with the core 40 in between, the scattered light reflected by the reflective film 26 is applied to the light receiving part 51 corresponding to the adjacent optical fiber 4. Since it does not reach, crosstalk can be suppressed and detection accuracy can be improved. Note that the configuration of the present embodiment may be combined with at least one of the configurations of the second or third embodiment. In the present embodiment, the reflection film 26 is formed on the optical fiber 4 on the emission side. However, the relative positional relationship between the inclined surface 7 of the first support 1 and the inclined surface 8 of the second support 2 (up and down) When the relationship is reversed, a reflective film may be formed on the optical fiber 3 on the incident side.
