Dynamic light coupler

Abstract

A dynamic light coupler consists of input optical fibre set, collimation lens set, Daman grating phase plate, convergent lens and output optical fibre set in sequence on one light path. It is featured as setting input optical fibre set on front focal plane of collimation lens, phase plate at back focal plane, output optical fibre set on back focal plane of convergent lens; overlapping convergent lens front focal plane to back focal plane of collimation lens set.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to optical communication, in particular to a dynamic optical coupler, which utilizes a Dammam grating of a diffractive optical element to realize a large number of dynamic optical couplings and optical splitting. Background technique [0002] With the development of technology and society, people's demand for information is gradually increasing. Optical fiber communication surpasses traditional cable communication with its advantages of high speed, large capacity, good confidentiality, and low cost. It is the development direction of communication technology in the 21st century. How to realize the dynamic optical coupling technology from N-way to M-way and N-way to single-way has become a key issue for accelerating the development of optical communication technology. [0003] At present, the beam splitting in optical communication mostly uses conventional fused-taper fiber couplers, which are characterized by low loss, simple s...
