Abstract

The invention provides an optical switch based on stimulated Brillouin scattering, which includes a first optical fiber, a first optical circulator, an optical attenuator, an optical isolator, a second optical fiber, and a second optical circulator connected in sequence And optical polarization beam splitter, the pumping light source is divided into the first pumping light and the second pumping light through the fiber coupler, respectively connected to the first polarization controller and the second polarization controller, the first polarization controller and the second polarization controller The controller is respectively connected to the first optical circulator and the second optical circulator, and the first optical fiber is used to receive signal light. When the pump light source is turned off, the signal light is output from the first polarization state port of the optical polarization beam splitter; when the pump light source is turned on, the stimulated Brillouin scattering effect generated in the two optical fibers makes the polarization state of the signal light After deflecting by 90 degrees, the signal light is output from the second polarization state port of the optical polarization beam splitter to realize the optical switch function. Through the above method, the optical switch of the present invention has the advantages of compatibility with existing optical communication systems, simple structure and easy adjustment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical communication, in particular to an optical switch based on stimulated Brillouin scattering. Background technique [0002] An optical switch is a device with one or more transmission ports that can perform mutual conversion or logical operation on optical signals in optical transmission lines or integrated optical circuits. In recent years, the all-optical network based on DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) has become an important development direction in the telecommunication network. Optical signals of different wavelengths must be routed in the network using optical switches. Switches can switch light waves in time, space, and wavelength, so optical switches are one of the key components of optical information systems such as optical communications, optical computers, and optical information processing. At present, optical switch technology is developing in the direction of large ext...
