Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of the optical fiber circulator made by this method is that the insertion loss is large: the coupling efficiency between the optical fiber and the crystal is low, and each optical surface will introduce Fresnel reflection loss when the beam is transmitted between the crystals; the stability is poor: the coupling between each optical surface of the crystal The connection causes instability; the cost is high: the cost of grinding the crystal and its optical surface is high; the manufacturing process is complicated: the optical path needs to be adjusted; the number of ports is difficult to increase or decrease: to increase the port, it is necessary to increase the crystal and change the structure accordingly

Embodiment 1

[0022] Figure 1 shows the 100 three-port all-fiber circulator, 101 is the first port of the 100 three-port all-fiber circulator; 102 is the second port of the 100 three-port all-fiber circulator; 103 is the 100 three-port all-fiber circulator The third port; 104 is the coupling part of the 100 three-port all-fiber circulator.

[0023] Two fibers of different materials are made into a coupler by using the fusion taper technology, so that the light beams in the 101 and 103 fibers are coupled into the 102 fibers, of which 103 and 102 are straight-through arms, and the 101 fiber is the coupling arm. Due to the directional output and directional isolation functions of the coupling part, the beam injected by the 101 fiber only has an output beam in the 102 fiber; when the 102 fiber is used as the input port, the output beam is obtained in the 103 fiber, and the beams from 101 to 102 and 102 to 103 can be circled. Function.

Abstract

A circulator of three-port total optical fiber type is prepared coupling the first and the second as well as the third optical fiber ports to each other and using optical fiber material as material of three said ports. The prepared circulator is suitably used on fields of optical fiber communication and optical fiber sense.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a three-port all-fiber circulator of an optical fiber directional transmission device. Background technique: [0002] At present, the known circulator is composed of optical crystals, and the non-reciprocal properties of the crystals are used to complete the directional output of the light beam. Typically, such as patents 03103816.6, 99813795.2, and 03103815.8, the incident beams are processed by birefringent crystals, and then sent to subsequent non-reciprocal devices to realize the beam circulation function. In the above three patents, the beam output from the crystal is coupled into the optical fiber to realize the optical fiber output. The disadvantage of the fiber circulator made by this method is that the insertion loss is large: the coupling efficiency between the fiber and the crystal is low, and each optical surface will introduce Fresnel reflection loss when the beam is transmitted between the crystals; poor stabili...
