Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce modal noises and distortion by providing a mirror block between a laser diode and an output optical fiber. CONSTITUTION:Light from an LD1 is incident on input-side semitransparent mirrors 21-2n of the mirror block 4 and reflected totally by total reflecting mirrors 31 and 32 while repeating partial reflection and transmission by the mirrors 21-2n, thereby reaching a lens 5. When said mirrors 31, 32 and 21- 2n are all parallel to one another, light projected from the output side of the block 4 is parallel and, therefore, converged to one point by a lens 5 to couple with an optical fiber 6, where the light is transmitted. The light beams A1-An incident to the lens 5 differ in absolute delay and form a piece of flux, and even when the emitted light of the LD1 has good coherence, the light which is incident to the optical fiber 6 through the lens 5 and transmitted therein has no coherence.

Furthermore, although there are multimode optical fibers and single mode I optical fibers as optical fibers for optical No. 43 transmission lines, multimode optical fibers are exclusively used for subscriber system transmission lines. In the case of a multi-mode optical fiber, if the coherence of the transmitted light is good, interference will occur between the low-order mode light and the high-order mode light, resulting in partial transmission of light within the fiber core cross section. This generates a so-called speckle pattern, which produces a strength distribution of

Effects of the Invention As described above, the in-fiber coherence reducing device of the present invention has two opposing total reflection mirrors between the radar diode and the output optical fiber, and a mirror between the two total reflection mirrors. Since a mirror block consisting of a large number of arranged half mirrors is provided, even if the coherence of the light generated by the light source is low, the coherence in the output light can be reduced. This is very effective because modal noise and O-distortion caused by the formation of speckle patterns in the fiber can be prevented when transmitted through the fiber.
