Problems solved by technology

However, the angle between these two components is very small, so it is difficult to control its manufacturing process
Moreover, if the multi-access transmission function is to be realized, a large number of branch waveguides and optical switch units are required to form a large-scale matrix connected by a dendritic network, which not only lengthens the cumulative optical path connected to the optical waveguide, but also complicates the network distribution and reduces the chip area. It is very large, and the loss of optical transmission will also increase

Embodiment 2

[0079] Example 2: An array beam splitter composed of double MMI beam splitters and its preparation device and method

[0080] The device for preparing the array beam splitter composed of double MMI beam splitters is the same as the device in Embodiment 1, and the steps are basically the same. The specific process is as follows: the laser beam 2 output by the ultrashort pulse laser 1 is subjected to beam shaping and filter 5 filtering The spatial fundamental mode is obtained, after the energy attenuator and the energy meter (not shown in the figure) are adjusted to obtain the appropriate energy, the shutter 4 is used to focus on the sample 7 on the three-dimensional numerically controlled translation stage 8 with the focusing objective lens 6, and the The samples are made of fused silica. The single pulse energy used was about 2.0 μJ, and the filaments produced due to the refractive index change in the sample 7 caused by the laser beam were about 200 μm. When the vertical self...
