Abstract

PURPOSE:To remove non-polarization dependence and to improve the reliability by equalizing the ratio of P polarization transmissivity to S polarization transmissivity of a filter plate to the ratio of S polarization reflectivity to P polarization reflectivity of a splitter plate. CONSTITUTION:A filter plate 10 is installed between a splitter plate 5 and a lens 6 and inclined by a prescribed angle to an optical axis. The prescribed angle is an incident angle at the time of designing the device so that the ratio of P polarization transmissivity to S polarization transmissivity of the filter plate 10 is equalized to the ratio of S polarization reflectivity to P polarization reflectivity of the splitter plate 5. Thus, most of the emitted light beams of an optical fiber 1 on the input side is transmitted through the splitter plate 5 and transferred to an optical fiber 2 on the output side. On the other hand, a part of the emitted light beams of the optical fiber 1 on the input side is reflected by the splitter plate 5, the greater part of the reflected light beams is transmitted through the filter plate 10, reaches a lens 6, is converged by the lens 6, projected on the light receiving surface of a photodetector 7 and becomes an electrical output. At this time, the polarization dependence of the reflected beam of the splitter plate 5 is compensated by the filter plate 10 and the polarization dependence is almost canceled.
