技术领域
本申请涉及到通信技术领域,尤其涉及到一种波分复用器件和通信设备。
背景技术
光纤通信技术(optical fiber communications)从光通信中脱颖而出,已成为现代通信的主要支柱之一,在现代电信网中起着举足轻重的作用。光纤通信作为一门新兴技术,其近年来发展速度之快,应用面之广是通信史上罕见的,也是世界新技术革命的重要标志和未来信息社会中各种信息的主要传送工具。
光纤通信的一个优势是可以在一根光纤中同时传输数十个波长的光线,称作波分复用(wavelength-division multiplexing,WDM)。WDM传输的基本元件是光学滤波器,光学滤波器例如可分为光纤熔融拉锥型、薄膜滤波器型或者阵列波导光栅型等。其中,薄膜滤波器型的WDM器件是较为常见的。
薄膜滤波器型的WDM器件目前主要有三端口级联方案和紧凑型波分复用方案,但是该两种方案的WDM器件中光纤和透镜之间、两个光纤之间需要进行有源调节和组装,其组装工艺较为复杂。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种波分复用器件和通信设备,用以提升波分复用器件的组装效率,简化通信设备的结构。
第一方面,提供了一种波分复用器件,该波分复用器件可以包括固定件、光纤、滤波片和透镜。其中,固定件设置有光纤定位孔和滤波片安装槽,滤波片安装槽设置于光纤定位孔的末端远离光纤定位孔的孔口的一侧,且滤波片安装槽与光纤定位孔的末端间隔设置。光纤可安装于光纤定位孔,滤波片可安装于滤波片安装槽,滤波片可用于对从光纤发射出的光线进行透射或者反射。另外,设置于光纤和滤波片之间的透镜可用于将光纤发射的光线进行准直,或将准直光汇聚后输入光纤。采用本申请提供的波分复用器件,可通过光纤定位孔和滤波片安装槽之间的对位设置,来实现光纤与滤波片之间的无源对位,从而可有效的提升波分复用器件的组装效率。
为了实现光纤在固定件上的定位,在本申请一个可能的实现方式中,可以在光纤定位孔的末端设置定位台阶。这样,在光纤安装于光纤定位孔后,光纤可与定位台阶相抵接,其可对光线伸入至固定件内的深度进行限定。
在具体设置透镜时,透镜可为固定件为一体成型结构。具体实施时,可使固定件设置 有与光纤定位孔相连通的透镜孔。其中,透镜孔设置于光纤定位孔的末端,且透镜孔与光纤定位孔之间形成定位台阶。
另外,在透镜孔的远离光纤定位孔的一端具有弧形面。这样,在同一光路上,弧形面与滤波片安装槽的槽壁之间即可形成透镜,该透镜既可为球面镜,也可以为非球面镜。可以理解的是,透镜为实体结构,故透镜为弧形面与滤波片安装槽的槽壁之间的实体结构组成。
在本申请一个可能的实现方式中,固定件上可以设置有多个光纤定位孔和多个滤波片安装槽。其中,多个光纤定位孔的数量与多个滤波片安装槽的数量的差值为1。在每个光纤定位孔内对应安装有一个光纤,同时对应每个滤波片安装槽安装有一个滤波片。采用该实现方式,可以使波分复用器件仅设置有一个固定件,且可通过在该一个固定件上安装多个光纤以及滤波片来实现波分复用器件的功能,其可以有效的简化波分复用器件的结构。
在固定件上可以设置有镂空区,上述的多个滤波片安装槽可以设置于镂空区的两个相对的侧壁。这样可以简化滤波片安装槽的结构设计,并可以减轻固定件的重量,节省材料。
通常情况下,波分复用器件在使用时,可以将固定件上的一个光纤作为公共端,不同波长的光线可通过该公共端输入至波分复用器件,或者从波分复用器件中出射。另外,除公共端之外的其它光纤可作为波分复用器件的透射端,该透射端可用于对单一波长光线进行传输。具体应用时,可使经公共端进入波分复用器件的不同波长的光线分离后可分别经对应的透射端出射,或者单一波长的光线分别经对应的透射端进入波分复用器件汇聚后,经公共端出射。
可以理解的是,在本申请中,可使滤光片与透射端一一对应的设置,这样可实现单一波长的光线在透射端与滤波片之间的传输。
在本申请一些可能的实现方式中,波分复用器件可以设置有多个固定件,以满足对多种不同波长的光线的汇聚或者分离的要求。
在本申请中,固定件可为一体成型的结构,为了减小固定件的材料对光线的吸收以及传输路线的影响,在本申请一个可能的实现方式中,可以使固定件采用大于或等于1250纳米,且小于或等于1350纳米波段光学透过率大于80%的材料制成。
另外,为了提高波分复用器件的结构稳定性,还可以使波分复用器件设置有一个安装壳。上述的固定件、光纤和滤波片等可以容置于安装壳的空腔。在安装壳的壳体上可以设置有光纤安装孔,光纤可以穿过光纤安装孔伸至安装壳的外部与其它的设备进行连接。
本申请提供的安装壳可为封闭的壳体结构,在光纤与光纤安装孔的孔壁之间可以设置有密封结构,并使光纤通过该密封结构固定于安装壳。这样可以有效的提高光纤与光纤安装孔之间密封效果,从而可避免液体或者灰尘等进入安装壳的空腔内,以对安装于安装壳的空腔内的光纤、滤波片等结构起到保护的作用。
第二方面,提供了一种通信设备,该通信设备可以包括光源、检测器和第一方面的波分复用器件。其中,波分复用器件既可以用作复用器件,也可用作解复用器件。其中,用作复用器件的波分复用器件,可用于对位于发射端的光源发射的不同波长的光线进行汇聚,从而使再由不同信号的多条光线能够在一根光纤上传输。用作解复用器件的波分复用器件,可用于接收端,以将不同波长的光线进行分离。检测器可用于对调制于光线上的信号进行还原。由于本申请提供的通信设备中的波分复用器件的结构得到了简化,其组装效率得到了提高。从而使通信设备的生产效率得到显著的提高,以降低其生产成本。

具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。需要说明的是,在本申请的描述中“至少一个”是指一个或多个,其中,多个是指两个或两个以上。鉴于此,本发明实施例中也可以将“多个”理解为“至少两个”。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,字符“/”,如无特殊说明,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。另外,需要理解的是,在本申请的描述中,“第一”、“第二”等词汇,仅用于区分描述的目的,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性,也不能理解为指示或暗示顺序。
在本说明书中描述的参考“一个实施例”或“一些实施例”等意味着在本申请的一个或多个实施例中包括结合该实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特点。由此,在本说明书中的不同之处出现的语句“在一个实施例中”、“在一些实施例中”、“在其它一些实施例中”、“在另外一些实施例中”等不是必然都参考相同的实施例,而是意味着“一个或多个但不是所有的实施例”,除非是以其它方式另外特别强调。术语“包括”、“包含”、“具有”及它们的变形都意味着“包括但不限于”,除非是以其它方式另外特别强调。
为方便理解本申请实施例提供的波分复用器件,首先对波分复用技术进行介绍。波分复用技术,是在发送端通过复用器件(也可称为和波器,multiplexer)将一系列载有信息、但波长不同的光线合成一束,沿着单根光纤传输;在接收端再经解复用器件(也可称为分波器或去复用器,demultiplexer)将各个不同波长的光线分开的通信技术。这种技术可以同时在一根光纤上传输多路信号,而每一路信号都由某种特定波长的光线来传送,这就是我们所说的一个波长信道。
波分复用器件中用于实现其功能的基本元件是光学滤波器,其中,光学滤波器可分为光纤熔融拉锥型、薄膜滤波器型和阵列波导光栅型等。其中薄膜滤波器型和阵列波导光栅型是目前较为常用的两种光学滤波器的类型。在本申请中,主要针对采用薄膜滤波器型的光学滤波器的波分复用器件进行介绍,而采用其它类型的光学滤波器的波分复用器件的具 体设置方式相类似,在此不进行赘述。
薄膜滤波器是采用在玻璃基体G上镀多层介质膜层的方法制成,其膜层的表达式为:G(HL) P(LH) PA。其中,H是光学厚度为1/4波长的高折射率膜层,L是光学厚度为1/4波长的低折射率膜层,A为空气。P代表膜层数,且P=1,2,…,n,n为正整数。另外,当膜层的光学厚度为1/4波长时,可有效的提升对该波长的光线的透射或者反射的效果。但当膜层的光学厚度为1/2波长时,该膜层对该波长的光线无影响,光线可完全经该膜层透过。薄膜滤波器可以通过镀不同光学厚度的介质膜层实现对指定波长的光线的透射,而使其余波长的光线进行反射,从而实现波分复用和解复用的功能。
目前,基于薄膜滤波器的波分复用器件常用的有三端口级联方案和紧凑型波分复用方案。其中,三端口级联方案的波分复用器件包括多个三端口器件,可参照图1a,图1a展示了一种三端口器件的结构示意图。该三端口器件可以包括一个双纤双孔尾纤01,一个单纤单孔尾纤02,两个透镜03,一个滤波片04,两个玻璃管05,一个金属管06。其中,滤波片04粘贴在双纤双孔尾纤01对应的透镜03的端面上。由于三端口器件为目前本领域较为常用的器件,故在此不对其具体结构进行赘述。
图1b为由图1a中所示的三端口器件级联组成的波分复用器件。一并参照图1a和图1b,应用该波分复用器件,可使波长为λ1,λ2,…λn的一系列光线从公共端输入。另外,通过对滤波片04的膜层进行合理设计,可使波长为λ1的光线透射,而其它波长的光线则被反射,因此波长为λ1的光线从三端口器件的透射端输出,而其它波长的光线从反射端输出。由此可以理解,通过将多个三端口器件进行级联,可以将不同波长的光线逐个分开。
另外,紧凑型波分复用方案的波分复用器件可由多个光线准直器07和滤波片组成。参照图2a,图2a展示了一种单个光纤准直器07的结构。单个光纤准直器07可以包括一个单纤单孔尾纤02,一个透镜03,一个玻璃管05,一个金属管06。由于光纤准直器07为目前本领域较为常用的器件,故在此不对其具体结构进行赘述。
图2b为由图2a中的光纤准直器07组成的波分复用器件的结构示意图。可一并参照图2a和图2b,应用该波分复用器件,可使波长分别为λ1,λ2,…λn的光线从公共端输入,并聚焦到与第一个光纤准直器07a对应设置的滤波片04a上。这样,通过对滤波片04a的膜层进行合理设计,可使波长为λ1的光线通过滤波片04a透射,并使该波长为λ1的光线经第一个光纤准直器07a的透镜03(可参照图2a)耦合到第一个光纤准直器07a的单纤单孔尾纤02(可参照图2a)中,从而分离出波长为λ1的光线。而其余波长的光线经滤波片04a反射到与第二个光纤准直器07b对应设置的滤波片04b进行光线的分离;依此类推,直到分离出所有的光线。由图2b可以看出,在该实施例中,波长信道之间的耦合可通过走“之”字路线的准直光线的形式实现。
由上述对于三端口器件级联方案和紧凑型波分复用方案的介绍可以知道:两种方案的波分复用器件中所需要的元件数量较多,结构较为复杂。另外,在三端口器件级联方案和紧凑型波分复用方案中,均需要对尾纤和透镜,以及尾纤和尾纤之间进行有源调节和组装,其组装工艺较为复杂。
本申请实施例提供的波分复用器件旨在解决上述问题,以简化波分复用器件的结构,提高其组装效率。另外,本申请实施例提供的波分复用器件可应用于各种通信设备中,示例性的,可应用于交换机和路由器等,以用于实现通信设备的通信功能。
如图3所示,图3展示了本申请一种实施例提供的波分复用器件用于光通信领域的应用场景。其中,在发送端,n个信号被调制到波长分别为λ1,λ2,…λn的光线上,然后通过复用器件10在同一根光纤1上传输。在接收端,利用解复用器件20将这些不同波长的光线从光纤1上分离出来,以便还原成最初的n个信号。
值得一提的是,由于光路具有可逆性,即当光线逆着原来的反射光线(或折射光线)的方向入射到媒质界面时,必会逆着原来的入射方向出射出去。基于此,本申请提供的波分复用器件既可用作复用器件10,也可用作解复用器件20。接下来结合附图对本申请提供的波分复用器件的具体设置方式进行详细的说明。
参照图4,图4展示了本申请一种实施例提供的波分复用器件的结构示意图。该波分复用器件可以包括光纤1、滤波片2和固定件3。其中,光纤1和滤波片2可安装于固定件3,以使固定件3能够对光纤1和滤波片2起到支撑的作用。
继续参照图4,波分复用器件还可以包括安装壳4,安装壳4的材质可以为塑料,以降低波分复用器件的成本。在一些可能的实施例中,安装壳4的材质也可以为金属,以有效的提高波分复用器件的结构稳定性。
在本申请中,安装壳4可为空腔结构,固定件3可容置于安装壳4的空腔401内,以使安装壳4能够对固定件3起到支撑的作用,并可对固定件3以及安装于固定件3的光纤1和滤波片2等元件起到保护的作用。另外,该安装壳4的壳体上可以设置有光纤安装孔402,上述的光纤1可以穿过该光纤安装孔402实现与固定件3的安装。在光纤1与光纤安装孔402的孔壁之间还可以设置有密封结构(图中未示出),光纤1可通过该密封结构固定于安装壳4。该密封结构示例性的可通过点胶形成,或者为密封圈。可以理解的是,在本申请实施例中,安装壳4可以设置为封闭的结构,在图4中为了展示固定件3与安装壳4的安装关系,省略了安装壳4的一侧的盖板。
在本申请中,固定件3作为波分复用器件的核心结构,其在具体设置时可以参照图5,图5展示了本申请一种可能的实施例的固定件3的结构示意图。在该实施例中,固定件3可以为一体成型结构,该固定件3的材质可以但不限于为塑料,以使固定件3可通过热压或者注塑成型工艺加工得到。另外,固定件3可以采用大于或等于1250纳米,且小于或等于1350纳米波段光学透过率大于80%的材料制成,以减小其对于光线的透过率的影响。
继续参照图5,固定件3可以设置有光纤定位孔301,该光纤定位孔301可用于安装如图4中所示的光纤1,并对光纤1的安装位置进行限位。为了便于光纤1的安装,该光纤定位孔301可由固定件3的表面向固定件3的内部延伸。在本申请中,将光纤定位孔301的位于固定件3的表面的端部称为光纤定位孔301的孔口3011,而将其伸至固定件3内的端部称为光纤定位孔301的末端。另外,在本申请中,光纤定位孔301可以但不限于为方孔、圆孔或V形孔等规则形状的孔,也可以设置为异形孔等非规则形状的孔,只要便于实现光纤1的安装以及定位即可。
如图5所示,为了能够实现如图4中所示的滤波片2与固定件3的安装,固定件3上还可以设置有滤波片安装槽302。滤波片安装槽302可以为矩形槽等规则形状的槽,也可以为其它不规则形状的槽。该滤波片安装槽302可以设置于光纤定位孔301的末端远离孔口3011的一侧,并且滤波片安装槽302与光纤定位孔301的末端之间存在一定的间距,该间距可根据固定件3的体积,以及滤波片安装槽302和光纤定位孔301之间的对位精度进行调整。在本申请一个可能的实施例中,还可以使滤波片安装槽302中存在呈一定夹角设 置的两个槽壁,例如图5中的槽壁3021和槽壁3022。这样,在将滤波片2安装于滤波片安装槽302时,可使滤波片2的一端能够抵接于槽壁3021,而使滤波片2的一侧表面贴装于槽壁3022,从而便于实现对滤波片2的安装以及定位。
可继续参照图5,在本申请一个可能的实施例中,固定件3还可以设置为镂空结构,滤波片安装槽302可以设置于固定件3的镂空区303的侧壁上。示例性的,可以设置于镂空区303的两个相对设置的侧壁上。通过设置镂空区303,可以便于滤波片安装槽302的设置,还可以减轻固定件3的重量,节省材料。在另外一些可能的实施例中,还可以在将如图4中所示的滤波片2安装于滤波片安装槽302内后,再对该镂空区303进行填充封堵,以提高安装于滤波片安装槽302内的滤波片2与固定件3之间连接的可靠性。
参照图6,图6为图5中所示固定件3的A-A剖面图。在波分复用器件中通常可以设置有一个公共端,以及多个透射端,其中,公共端用于供不同波长的光线输入波分复用器件,或者供不同波长的从波分复用器件中发射;透射端用于单一波长的光线的传输。因此,在本申请中,固定件3可以设置有多个光纤定位孔301。示例性的,固定件3上可以设置有n+1个光纤定位孔301,其中,n为正整数。则其中一个光纤定位孔301可用于安装作为公共端的光纤,另外的n个光纤定位孔301用于安装作为透射端的光纤。
在本申请一些实施例中,固定件3可以设置有多个滤波片安装槽302。滤波片可用于对光线进行选择,因此,可对应每一个用于安装用作透射端的光纤的光纤定位孔301各设置有一个滤波片安装槽302,而对应用于安装用作公共端的光纤的光纤定位孔301的位置处可不设置滤波片安装槽302。在该实施例中,滤波片安装槽302可以设置为n个,则光纤定位孔301的数量与滤波片安装槽302的数量的差值为1。
可以理解的是,固定件3中的多个光纤定位孔301和多个滤波片安装槽302的具体排布方式可根据其光线的具体传输方式进行设置。
在本申请实施例中,光纤的安装位置可通过光纤定位孔301的设置来进行调节。可继续参照图6,对于光纤定位孔301的设置,首先可考虑光纤定位孔301开设的倾斜角度,由于安装于光纤定位孔301内的光纤要用于对光线的传输,则光纤定位孔301的倾斜角度可以根据滤波片安装槽302的设置位置进行调整。另外,为了实现对光纤插入光纤定位孔301内的深度的限位,在本申请中,可以在光纤定位孔301的末端设置定位台阶3012。安装于光纤定位孔301的光纤可与该定位台阶3012相抵接,则定位台阶3012与光纤定位孔301的孔口3011之间的间距即为光纤可以插入的深度。这样,即可通过光纤安装孔402和滤波片安装槽302之间的对位设置,来实现各光纤定位孔301之间的位置的对准,进而实现对安装于光纤定位孔301内的光纤和光纤之间的位置精度的调整。
可以理解的是,在本申请中,可以通过光纤定位孔301和滤波片安装槽302之间的对位设置,来实现对安装于光纤定位孔301中的光纤,以及安装于滤波片安装槽302内的滤波片的设置位置精度的无源调节,其可以有效的简化本申请提供的波分滤波器件的组装过程。
继续参照图6,在本申请一个可能的实施例中,波分复用器件还可以设置有透镜5,透镜5可用于将光纤发射的光线进行准直处理,或者将准直光进行汇聚后输入光纤,以降低光的损耗。由此可以理解,在本申请中,透镜5可以设置于光纤与滤波片之间。
可继续参照图6,在光纤定位孔301的末端还可以设置有透镜孔304,该透镜孔304与光纤定位孔301相连通,且透镜孔304的孔径小于光纤定位孔301的孔径,以在透镜孔 304与光纤定位孔301之间形成定位台阶3012。另外,在透镜孔304的远离光纤定位孔301的一端具有弧形面3041,该弧形面3041可用作透镜5的一个表面,在同一条光路上的滤波片安装槽302的槽壁可作为透镜的另一个表面,这样,即可在透镜孔304的弧形面3041和滤波片安装槽302的槽壁之间形成了透镜5,该透镜5既可以为球面镜,也可以为非球面镜。由此可知,在本申请中,透镜5与固定件3为一体成型结构,其可避免透镜5与固定件3的安装,从而有效的减小波分复用器件中元件的数量,并简化波分复用器件的组装过程。
由于透镜5通常设置为实体结构,可参照图6,在本申请一些实施例中,当固定件3设置有镂空区303时,透镜5应理解为在同一条光路上的弧形面3041与滤波片安装槽302的槽壁之间的实体结构。
可以理解的是,在本申请中,可以通过光纤定位孔301和透镜孔304之间的对位设置,来实现安装于光纤定位孔301中的光纤,和透镜5之间形成的光纤准直器的无源调节及组装,其可以有效的简化本申请提供的波分滤波器件的组装过程。
在本申请另外一些实施例中,还可以单独进行透镜的安装,在该实施例中,透镜也可安装于透镜安装孔内,而透镜与光纤之间可通过有源调节实现对位设置。由于透镜与光纤之间的有源调节为本领域常用的技术手段,故在此不进行赘述。
由上述对于固定件3的介绍可以理解,在本申请中,通过对光纤定位孔301、滤波片安装槽302以及透镜孔304的位置进行设计,即可实现光纤与光纤之间、光纤与滤波片之间,以及光纤与透镜之间的位置精度的无源调节。
图7展示了本申请一种实施例的波分复用器件的剖面结构示意图。可一并参照图6和图7,该波分复用器件在具体组装时,首先,可以在每个光纤定位孔301内安装一个光纤1,具体实施时,可将光纤1直接插设于固定件3的光纤定位孔301,并通过定位台阶3012对光纤1的插入位置进行限位。另外,可以但不限于通过在光纤1与光纤定位孔301的孔壁之间进行点胶的方式,将光纤1固定于固定件3,以实现光纤1的定位。其次,在每个滤波片安装槽302内安装一个滤波片,具体实施时,滤波片2可以放置于滤波片安装槽302,并且滤波片2可以贴设于滤波片安装槽302的槽壁。另外,滤波片2与滤波片安装槽302的槽壁之间也可以通过点胶的方式进行固定,从而实现对滤波片2的定位。之后,可将组装好光纤1和滤波片2的固定件3安装于安装壳4的空腔401内,固定件3与安装壳4之间也可以但不限于通过点胶的方式进行固定。最后,将光纤1的自由端(光纤1的自由端指光纤1的从固定件3伸出的一端)穿过安装壳4上的光纤安装孔402伸至安装壳4的外部,该自由端可与其它通信装置进行通信连接。另外,在光纤1与光纤安装孔402之间也可以通过点胶进行密封,从而使安装壳4能够对波分滤波器件进行密封保护,以延长波分复用器件的使用寿命。
可以理解的是,上述波分复用器件的组装过程只是一种示例性的说明。由于在本申请中,滤波片2以及光纤1等元件都可通过无源调节进行组装,无需进行额外的对位操作。因此,在本申请其它可能的实施例中,可对上述安装步骤随意进行调整,其均应理解为落在本申请的保护范围之内。
为了便于对本申请提供的波分复用器件的设置方式进行理解,接下来结合图7对本申请的波分复用器件的工作原理进行介绍。在该实施例中,以光纤1为单纤单孔尾纤,滤波片2为薄膜滤波器型的滤波片为例进行说明。
在图7中,带箭头的直线表示了光线的传输方向。其中,为了便于区分波长分别为λ1,λ2,…λn的光束进入作为公共端的第一个光纤,输入该第一个光纤的光束向前传输到达第一个透镜后变为准直光,并继续传输到第一个滤波片,由于第一个滤波片镀有膜层,该膜层可透射波长为λ1的光线,反射波长为λ2,λ3,…λn的光线,这样波长为λ1的光线经过第一个滤波片的透射向前传输到达第二个透镜,变为汇聚光,汇聚到第二个光纤中向前传输。
之后,波长为λ2,λ3,…λn的光线经过第一个滤波片后反射到达第二个滤波片,第二个滤波片可用于透射波长为λ2的光线,反射波长为λ3,λ4,…λn的光线,这样波长为λ2,λ3,…λn的光线经过第二个滤波片后,波长为λ2的光线透射出去并经过第三个透镜汇聚后到达第三个光纤进行传输,剩余的波长为λ3,λ4,…λn的光线继续按照上述相似的原理继续向前传输,最终波长λ1,λ2,…λn的输入光经过n个滤波片的滤波作用后,依次进入至n个光纤中,完成波分复用器件的解复用功能。由图7可以看出,在本申请该实施例中,波长信道之间的耦合可通过走“之”字路线的准直光线的形式实现。
可以理解的是,波分复用器件的复用功能可遵循光路的可逆原理,即波长为λ1,λ2,…λn的光线分别经过n个光纤后,汇聚为一束光束通过作为公共端的光纤输出。
通过在上述实施例中对于目前常用的三端口级联方案的波分复用器件、紧凑型波分复用方案的波分复用器件,以及本申请提供的波分复用器件方案的介绍可以知道,三种形式的波分复用器件的具体设置方式存在较大的区别。现以对6个波长的光线进行分离的波分复用器件为例,将三种形式的波分复用器件的元件的数量以及组装方式列于表1中进行对比。
表1
Figure PCTCN2022082813-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2022082813-appb-000002
通过上述对比可以发现,采用本申请提供的波分复用器件的方案,相较于三端口级联方案的波分复用器件,元件数量由48件降低到14件,元件数量减少70%。而相对于紧凑型波分复用方案的波分复用器件,元件数量由34件下降到14件,元件数量减少60%。可以理解的是,采用本申请提供的波分复用器件,其元件数量的大量减少,可以有效的简化波分复用器件的结构,降低其成本。
另外,现有的三端口级联方案的波分复用器件和紧凑型波分复用方案的波分复用器件在光纤、滤波片、透镜、光纤准直器的安装上均需要进行有源调节,其组装效率低,从而导致波分复用器件的生产效率低。而本申请提供的波分复用器件通过在如图6所示的固定件3上集成光纤定位孔301、滤波片安装槽302、透镜孔304等结构后,可以实现如图7所示的光纤1和滤波片2的无源安装,以及透镜5的免安装,其在很大程度上提高了波分复用器件的组装效率。
在上述实施例中,只展示了对包含6个波长的光束的光线进行分离的波分复用器件的设置方式。但是,可以理解的是,本申请提供的波分复用器件若设置有m个光纤,其可以用于对包含n个波长的光束的光线进行分离,其中,n≤m-1。
而当需要对包括更多个波长的光束的光线进行分离时,还可以将多个固定件进行组合使用,该多个固定件均安装有光纤和滤波片。多个固定件在组合使用时,相邻的两个固定件中,从其中一个固定件发射的光线,可通过另一个固定件上设置的作为公共端的光纤进入该另一个固定件中。
为了便于对上述多个固定件的组合使用进行理解,可以参照图8,图8展示了本申请的一个可能的实施例的波分复用器件中固定件组合使用的结构示意图。在图8所示的实施例中,用带箭头的实线表示光线在固定件内的传输,用带箭头的虚线表示光线在固定件之间的传输。
由于通过改变滤波片对于光线的滤波效果,可以使不同波长的光线均能够经该滤波片直接透过而进入到同一根光纤中。因此,在图8所示的实施例中,可使不能够经前一个固定件完成分离的不同波长的光线通过一根作为透射端的光纤,进入到下一个固定件中进行分离。此时,前一个固定件上的透射端,可以作为下一个固定件上的公共端。
可以理解的是,在该实施例中,通过将两个分别可用于对6个波长的光线进行分离的固定件进行组合后,其可用于对包括不多于12个波长的光束的光线进行分离。值得一提的是,在图8所示的实施例中,为了便于表达,只示出了两个固定件3的组合设置方式,对于波分复用器件的其它结构的设置可以参照上述任一实施例,在此不进行赘述。
除了上述介绍的波分复用器件的设置方式外,参照图9,图9还展示了本申请另外一些可能的实施例中的波分复用器件的设置方式。在该实施例中,也可以将固定件3设置为多个,同时在每个固定件3上分别设置光纤定位孔301、滤波片安装槽302以及透镜孔304, 但其具体设置方式与上述实施例相类似,在此不进行赘述。
不同的是,在图9所示的实施例中,每个固定件3只设置有一个光纤定位孔301和透镜孔304,另外,在用于安装作为透射端的光纤的固定件3上还可以设置有滤波片安装槽302。这样,可以根据具体需要选择固定件3的数量并进行组装。采用该设置方式,对于每个固定件3来说,也可实现光纤与滤波片的无源安装,以及透镜的免安装,从而使波分复用器件的组装得到简化。
可以理解的是,上述实施例只是对于本申请提供的波分复用器件的一些可能的设置方式的示例性说明。基于此,本领域技术人员可进行一系列的变形,其均应理解为落在本申请的保护范围之内。
基于相同的发明构思,本申请还提供了一种通信设备,参照图10,图10展示了本申请一种实施例的通信设备的结构示意图。该通信设备可以包括光源6、检测器7以及上述任一实施例提供的波分复用器件。其中,光源6可以为多个,每个光源6可用于发射一种波长的光线。在一些可能的实施例中,光源6也可以为一个,该一个光源6可用于发射不同波长的光线。这样,在发射端,不同的信号可以被调制到不同波长的光线上进行传输。
由上述实施例对本申请提供的波分复用器件的介绍可以知道,该波分复用器件既可用作复用器件,也可用作解复用器件。其中,在发射端,用作复用器件的波分复用器件可对分别载有不同信号的多条光线进行汇聚,并使其能够在一根光纤1上进行传输。在接收端,用作解复用器件的波分复用器件可将不同波长的光线分离出来。
检测器7可用于将从解复用器件出来的光信号转换成电信号,其中,可对应每种不同波长的光线分别设置一个检测器7,从而使被调制到不同波长的光线上的信号被还原。
由于本申请提供的波分复用器件的结构得到了简化,其组装效率得到了提高。这样,在将该波分复用器件用于通信设备时,可以使通信设备的生产效率得到显著的提高,从而可降低其生产成本。
显然,本领域的技术人员可以对本申请进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本申请的精神和范围。这样,倘若本申请的这些修改和变型属于本申请权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内,则本申请也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
