When used as a demultiplexer, multiple signals of different wavelengths are input to the device. is collimated by a lens and directed onto a grating for dispersion as a function of wavelength. Each diffracted beam is focused into each of the remaining fibers. In this way, the signal is spatially It is separated into two parts in preparation for subsequent independent processing.

These devices are not very effective when used in multiplexed single-mortized codes, as described in the literature 2003. The problem arises from the fact that in sinkle moat fibers, the core diameter is small compared to the outer diameter of the crut. As a result, a dense implementation of channels is required, resulting in inefficient use of the available bandwidth of the iTJ.

The peak value at d2. It occurs at points d3-d6. Thus, the various components of the incident signal, each corresponding to an individual signal channel, can be spatially separated by placing a fiber at the focal point of each diffracted signal, as shown in FIG. .

、チャネルの実装密度を増加させるだめの手段である。This allows for the most efficient use of the available optical bandwidth. The bandwidth of the channel is a function of the core diameter C. In multimode fibers, the ratio of core diameter to crat diameter is \05/29, and the available bandwidth is effectively utilized. In contrast, the core-to-crat ratio h for single-moat fibers is very low. Typical core-to-crat diameter ratios (are 8 μm and 12 μm, respectively)
5/Lm, and the 111th efficiency is configured to decrease from 50% to %-\. What is needed is a means to increase channel packing density.

されている。As explained in Section 2, the precise implementation of signal fibers is impossible to achieve using traditional single moat fibers due to their small core-to-crat ratios, which have extremely thin claddings. Significant difficulties exist in using non-standard single moat fibers with correspondingly large core-to-crat ratios. The problem of fibers 31-1. as shown is avoided.
31-2 and -31-n are waveguides 3o-1 and 31-n, respectively.
30-2, . . . 30-n are terminated at one end of the 0. The waveguide array is convergent such that the gap between the waveguides in the lensed pnj section is configured to be smaller than the crat diameter of a standard Shinklemoat fiber. Crosstalk ultimately limits waveguide packing density. However, the crosstalk is small for an orc gap twice the size of the mortise and, if necessary, can be improved by installing grooves in the waveguide substrate between adjacent waveguides as shown in Figure 4. Can be reduced. In this figure, the end of the array adjacent to the lens is shown. For illustrative purposes, five waveguides 41.42.43.
It is shown that 44.45 has been mounted to the appropriate board 46 internal pressure.
