Abstract

PURPOSE:To demultiplex projection light equally to plural projection fibers by converting low-order projection light from an incidence fiber to a high-order mode through a tapered high-order mode conversion part which decreases in diameter gradually, and then reconverting the light to the low-order mode through a tapered low-order mode conversion part which increases in diameter gradually. CONSTITUTION:When projection light 5 in low-order mode which is projected from the incidence fiber 2 is incident on a mixing rod 1, the mixing rod 1 projects the light 5 on the low-order mode conversion part 3 while converting it to the high-order mode gradually because the conversion part is tapered at an about 6:7 taper ratio. The power distribution of the projection light 5 at the connection part between the mixing rod 1 and low-order mode conversion part 3 is uniform, so the low-order mode conversion part 3 transmits the light while performing the gradual conversion to the low-order mode so as to convert the high-order mode projection light 5 to the propagation mode of projection fibers 4, and enters the light into respective projection fibers 4 equally. Consequently, the low-order mode projection light is demultiplexed to the respective projection fibers 4 equally even if the projection light 5 from the incidence fiber 2 is in low-order mode.

(Problems with the background art) However, if the transmission length of the input fiber is long, even if high-order mode light is input to the input fiber, the light will be converted to a lower-order mode during propagation, so the above-mentioned problems arise. Low-order mode light ends up being incident on mixing rods having the same diameter. Therefore, the distribution of light to a large number of output fibers becomes non-uniform.

That is, when the low mode output light 5 output from the input fiber 2 is input to the mixing rod 1, since the mixing rod 1 has a tapered shape with a taper ratio of about 6.7, the output light 5 is emitted from the input fiber 2. The emitted light 5 is output to the low-order mode converter 3 while being gradually converted into a higher-order mode. Since the power distribution of the output light 5 at the connection part between the mixing loft l and the low-order mode converter 3 is uniform, the low-order mode converter 3 converts the input high-order mode output light 5 into
In order to change the propagation mode of the output fibers 4 to the propagation mode of the output fibers 4, the light is gradually converted to a lower order mode and sent out, and is incident on each output fiber 4 equally. Therefore, even if the output light 5 from the input fiber 2 is a low-order mode, the low-order mode output light can be evenly distributed to each output fiber 4.

FIG. 6 shows yet another embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, a mixing rod 6 is shown in which both ends are formed into a tapered shape, and a plurality of input fibers 2 are formed on one end surface of the tapered portion 6a of the mixing rod 6.

On the other hand, when a low-order mode output light 5' is output from one output fiber 4, this output light 5' is input into the low-order mode conversion section 3. In this case, the lower-order mode converter 3 gradually decreases in diameter along the traveling direction of the emitted light 5', so it functions as a higher-order mode converter for the emitted light 5'. Therefore, the emitted light 5' is transmitted to this low-order mode converter 3.
After being converted into a higher-order mode, it is input into the mixing rod 6. Further, the diameter of the other tapered portion 6b of the mixing rod 6 gradually increases along the traveling direction of the emitted light 5'. Therefore, this tapered part 6b functions as a low-order mode converting part for the emitted light 5', contrary to what has been described above, and therefore, the emitted light 5' is converted into a lower-order mode again by this taper part 6b. . The output light 5' converted into a low-order mode within the mixing rod 6 is not in a low-order mode state because the small-diameter side end surface of one tapered portion 6a of the mixing rod 6 is formed to have a relatively large diameter. The light is almost maintained and is evenly input into the plurality of input fibers 2.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, the low-order mode light emitted from the input fiber is first converted into a high-order mode in the tapered high-order mode converting section whose diameter is gradually reduced, and then the light is gradually expanded. By converting the light into a low-order mode again in the tapered low-order mode conversion section, even if the light emitted from the input fiber is in a low-order mode, it can be evenly distributed to the plurality of output fibers.
