Abstract

A single mode waveguide coupling to a multimode fiber of a high-bandwidth local optical network is made by a tapered coupler that expands the spot size of the propagating beam to fill additional modes of the multimode fiber. The tapered coupler has a core surrounded by inner and outer layers of cladding. The core and the inner cladding layer are drawn down along their length to force light from the core into the surrounding inner cladding layer. The outer cladding layer confines the expanded beam within the core and inner cladding layer.

Description of the Invention (γ) Field of the Invention: The present invention generally relates to the coupling between a laser light source and a multimode fiber, especially to maintain a consistent frequency bandwidth over a short distance. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Multi-mode optical fibers are commonly used in local area optical networks within buildings to transmit high-speed signals. The core diameter of a multimode fiber is larger than that of a single mode fiber and it can transmit more power. The large core diameter also simplifies splicing of fibers and alignment or connection to other networks. Most multimode fibers are tuned for use with traditional light emitting diode (LED) light sources. These light sources have limited modulation capabilities and are therefore able to sustain transmissions of up to 500 MB / S of data. In order to maintain a high rate, such as 1.25GB / S (such as the Gigabit Ethernet standard), the system needs a laser light source. However, for example, Fabry Perot (FP) lasers and vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) are usually hybrid to multimode The optical fiber is less stable, the laser is preferentially higher power, narrower bandwidth, higher modulation rate, and has the ability to combine multiple arrays. Compared with traditional LE1D light sources, lasers (ρρ lasers and VCSELs) produce smaller spot sizes, which are not filled with multimode fibers (that is, not all modes are excited equally). Third, because each mode transmits light slightly differently, it is filled differently. Bandwidth will vary from case to case. The smaller spot size also concentrates energy in the center of the multimode fiber, where the refractive index profile is particularly difficult to control. Small changes in laser and multimode fiber alignment can cause further changes in bandwidth. Although the multi-mode fiber can adjust the laser light source to optimize the bandwidth, the adjustment needs to take care of other systems, and it will make and explain (the) printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Installation costs increase and become _. {When-== Arranged mode fiber network is more reliable bandwidth. According to the present invention, it is sufficient to fill the source output beam of the extended laser light source more uniformly. Multimode fiber maintains bandwidth sensitivity to laser light and vd / non-sensitivity, so that upgraded network devices can use FP lasers and VCSEL light sources to achieve accuracy without trial and error. α The present invention-item embodiment suspects that the modal domain includes how difficult it is to combine. U has a first-end portion that scolds the shooter, the second-end portion is connected to the multi-mode light, and a middle section that connects the two sections. The middle section of the coupler gradually changes between the first and second ends in order to increase the diameter of the single mode or less than the light beam emitted by the laser light source and the end of the county. The diameter of the beam is increased to at least -half and preferably all of the finned fiber. The inner core is surrounded by the inner and outer cladding in the coupler. The core and at least the inner cladding are drawn along the length of the coupler to a smaller cross-sectional size, the reduced size of which will force the beam to propagate beyond the core into the cladding. Maintain sufficient inner cladding at the second end of face 5 | to guide the expanded beam to the required beam diameter. The composite diameter of the core and the inner cladding at the end of the confluence will be connected to the laser light source in a single mode or slightly larger. At the first end, the numerical aperture and beam diameter preferentially match the relevant characteristics of the laser light source. The composite diameter of the core and the inner cladding at the second end of the device will be ~ ~, 1Τ ------ (Please read the precautions on the back and fill in this page) CNS) 8 4 specifications (21〇 > < 297 mm r

The numerical aperture at the second end is matched with the fine characteristics of the optical fiber in order to excite the main mode S of the multimode fiber. The beam diameter at the second end of the horse is preferably at least equal to half the diameter of the core of the multimode fiber. . The laser light source is, for example, an FP laser or a VCSEL light source. The first end of the multimode I coupler can be connected to the laser light source, the second end of the multimode aging device can be connected to the multimode fiber, and The length of the combiner expands the beam diameter and combines it with the township model money, so that the township model of the township model is evenly filled with the beam. Country-mode fiber is preferentially filled at least—half to wealth. Beam expansion is achieved by gradually changing the multimode coupler to force more beams into the outer inner cladding. The outer cladding limits the expanding beam to the inner cladding. The multi-mode coupler located between the laser light source and the multi-mode optical fiber forms a single-mode or some 4 larger and is connected to the laser light source and the multi-mode is connected to the multi-mode optical fiber. The resulting beam expansion will reduce the bandwidth sensitivity to changes in radial alignment between the multimode coupler and the multimode fiber. Therefore, the accuracy of multimode coupling alignment can be similar to that of multimode fiber.

An example is shown in the accompanying drawings. The multimode coupler of the present invention Exemplary embodiments are shown in the drawings and are denoted by reference numeral 10. In FIG. 1, a multimode coupler 10 connects a single-mode fiber 12 to a multi-mode fiber 14 to provide a more reliable bandwidth and reduce single-mode and multi-mode fibers. Alignment sensitivity between 12 and 14. Single-mode fiber 12 and multi-mode fiber 14 have traditional cores 16, 20 and claddings 18, 22. Multi-mode fiber cores 20 have a diameter of dMi, which is larger than single-mode fiber cores 16 diameter dsi several times. However, the single-mode fiber cladding 18 and this paper size are applicable to Lai Jia scale (⑽) M gauge 2 like 297 male thin) 480354 A7 B7 6 V. Description of the invention (穸) Multimode fiber cladding The diameters dS2 and dM2 of 22 are approximately the same. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) The multimode coupler 10 has first and second ends 24 and 26, which are connected by a middle section 28 with a core 30 and by an inner cladding 32 And the outer cladding 34 surrounds it. The coupler core 30 has an initial diameter dAi at the first end 24 that matches the diameter dsl of the single-mode fiber 12, but gradually changes along the middle section 28 to a smaller final diameter dBi at the second end 26 and Adjacent to the multimode fiber 14. Similarly, the initial diameter dA2 of the inner cladding 32 of the coupler 10 matches the cladding diameter ds2 of the single-mode optical fiber 12. However, the smaller grading section along the inner cladding 32 inside the middle section 28 forms the final diameter dm, which is preferably smaller than the diameter ck of the multimode fiber core 20. The core 30 and the inner cladding 32 are preferentially reduced from a diameter dA1 of 24 at the first end, (α2 to a diameter dBi, dB2 of the second end 26, and the gradient ratio is preferentially less than 5 to 1 and usually at 2.5 Near 1. The length of the gradient segment (for example, 0.5 cm) is sufficient to keep the energy of the light from the core 30 to adiabatic transition into the outer inner cladding 32. The central consumer bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs printed the outer cladding 34 diameter size It is preferably 1 to 3 mm, encapsulating the single-mode fiber 12 at the first end 24 and next to the multi-mode fiber 14 at the second end 26. Many other arrangements are also possible with one or more outer claddings 34 Consistent functions, including generating structural support and protecting the bottom layers 30 and 32 and limiting light to the inner cladding 32. The gradual change of the outer cladding 34 is preferentially similar to the inner cladding 32 and the heart core 30, and is mainly manufactured as a coupling For example, the coupler 10 can be achieved by inserting a conventional optical fiber or an optical fiber section into a capillary tube, which uniformly heats and thermally collapses around the optical fiber.

Similar to coupler 1 〇, the coupler 40 includes first and second ends 46 and 48, which are connected by the middle section 50, and the core 52 is surrounded by the inner cladding 54 and the outer cladding 56. The first end portion is The adjacent coupling to the laser 42 and the second end portion 48 are similarly coupled to the multimode fiber 44. The core 52 and the inner cladding 54 are gradually changed from the first end portion 46 to the second end portion, similar to the previous embodiment. The outer cladding 56 is similarly shown to be gradually changing, but other longitudinal changes including no gradation are possible. The multimode fiber 44 has a core 60 of a general size and a cladding 62 to match the size of the coupler 40 to improve the Laser 42 coupling Reliability. The special sizes of couplers 10 and 40 are mainly determined by the following specifications: (a) Filling the transmission mode by multimode fiber 14 and 44; (b) Reducing couplers 10 and 40 and multimode fiber 14 and 44 Sensitivity of changes in alignment, and (c) Limitation of light source size, and the Zhang scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X29 7 mm) ---------- 1 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page), tr i # 480354 A7 _______B7 V. Description of the invention (//) Transmission loss between 12 and 42 and multimode fiber 14 and 44. Graduated cores 30 and 52 Force the light from the cores 30 and 52 to enter the outer parts of the inner claddings 32 and 54. The diameter of the beam transmitted from the one end portion 24, 46 to the second end portion 26, 48 via the horse coupling 10 and 40 will increase Preferentially, the diameter of the beam expanded by the couplers 10 and 40 is at least equal to the diameter of the multimode fiber 20 and 60 dMi—half but less than the total diameter dm of the core 20 and 60. If the beam diameter expands too much, it propagates through Multimode fiber cores 20 and 60 will lose light. If the beam diameter is too small, the light does not excite the multimode light. 14 and 44 are sufficient to provide reliable performance. Although the diameter is continuously reduced from dA2 to, for example, the inner claddings 32 and 54 preferentially maintain sufficient size to guide the beam of enlarged spot size through the coupler The middle sections 28 and 50 of 10 and 40. At the first ends of the couplers 10 and 40, the cores 30 and 52 and the inner cladding diameters dA1 and I will form a single-mode or For slightly larger connections, it is preferably connected via a single-mode fiber intermediate such as fiber 2 or directly to a light source such as laser 42. The numerical apertures and dot size diameters at the first ends at 24 and 46 preferentially match the characteristics of the light source. Some light sources, such as 850nm VCSEL and 1300nm FP laser light sources, are produced by the Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The output beam is slightly larger than the core of a single-mode fiber. Therefore, the diameters of the cores 30 and 52 ′ and 1 can be formed slightly larger than the conventional single-mode size to more completely couple the output of the laser light source to the multi-mode couplers 10 and 40. The diameters dm of the cores 30 and 52 and the inner claddings 32 and 54 at the ends 26 and 48 of the couplers 10 and 40 will form a multi-mode connection with the multi-mode optical fibers 14 and 44. The numerical aperture and dot size at the second ends 26 and 48 preferentially differ from
