具体实施方式Detailed ways
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施方式作进一步地详细描述。In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation manners of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
为了便于对本申请实施例的理解,下面首先介绍所涉及到的一些术语概念做解释说明:In order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of this application, the following first introduces some terms and concepts involved for explanation:
1、光分插复用器,是一种能从多个波长光中分出单个波长光,或将单个波长光加入到多个波长光中的光波分复用设备。1. An optical add/drop multiplexer is an optical wavelength division multiplexing device that can separate a single wavelength of light from multiple wavelengths of light, or add a single wavelength of light to multiple wavelengths of light.
2、滤波膜片,是入射角度不同使得透射波长不相同的膜片,即每个透射波长对应一个入射角度。入射角度为光入射至滤波膜片的角度。图1示出了滤波膜片的透射波长与入射角度的关系。在图1中,横轴表示入射角度,纵轴表示透射波长。在图1中实线曲线和虚线曲线分别表示两个滤波膜片的透射波长与入射角度的关系。2. The filter diaphragm is a diaphragm with different incident angles that make the transmitted wavelengths different, that is, each transmitted wavelength corresponds to an incident angle. The incident angle is the angle at which light is incident on the filter film. Figure 1 shows the relationship between the transmission wavelength and the incident angle of the filter diaphragm. In FIG. 1 , the horizontal axis represents the incident angle, and the vertical axis represents the transmitted wavelength. In Fig. 1, the solid line curve and the dotted line curve represent the relationship between the transmission wavelength and the incident angle of the two filter diaphragms respectively.
图2还示出了滤波膜片的结构,滤波膜片包括滤波面、玻璃基底和增透面,滤波面也可以称为是反射面,增透面也可以称为是透射面。滤波面的功能是使得某种波长的光通过,而使得其他波长的光反射,增透面的功能是使得各种波长的光透射。玻璃基底的上表面交替镀有多层滤波面,玻璃基底的下表面镀有增透面。FIG. 2 also shows the structure of the filter diaphragm. The filter diaphragm includes a filter surface, a glass substrate and an anti-reflection surface. The filter surface can also be called a reflection surface, and the anti-reflection surface can also be called a transmission surface. The function of the filter surface is to pass light of a certain wavelength and reflect light of other wavelengths, and the function of the anti-reflection surface is to transmit light of various wavelengths. The upper surface of the glass substrate is alternately coated with multi-layer filtering surfaces, and the lower surface of the glass substrate is coated with anti-reflection surfaces.
图2所示的结构仅是一种可能的结构,凡是用于实现本申请实施例提供的滤波膜片的功能的膜片均能应用于本申请实施例。图2所示的滤波膜片为后文中提到的滤波膜片12以及第一滤波膜片23。The structure shown in FIG. 2 is only a possible structure, and any diaphragm used to realize the function of the filter diaphragm provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the embodiment of the present application. The filter membrane shown in FIG. 2 is the
3、可动反射镜,是光路中一种可以转动的反射镜。示例性的,可动反射镜采用微机电系统(micro-electro-mechanical system,MEMS)固定有反射镜的方式实现,固定方式可以是粘贴等。示例性的,可动反射镜也可以采用液晶附硅(liquid crystal on silicon,LCoS)实现,LCoS是一种采用有源点阵反射式液晶的显示技术。3. The movable reflector is a reflector that can rotate in the optical path. Exemplarily, the movable mirror is realized by using a micro-electro-mechanical system (micro-electro-mechanical system, MEMS) to fix the mirror, and the fixing method may be sticking or the like. Exemplarily, the movable mirror can also be realized by using liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS), which is a display technology using active lattice reflective liquid crystal.
在本申请实施例中,通过控制可动反射镜转动可以控制光在光传输平面内的传输方向改变。In the embodiment of the present application, the change of the transmission direction of the light in the light transmission plane can be controlled by controlling the rotation of the movable mirror.
4、固定反射镜,是光路中一种不可以转动的反射镜。4. The fixed mirror is a non-rotatable mirror in the optical path.
5、可动半波片,为光轴可调的半波片。示例性的,可动半波片采用MEMS固定有半波片的方式实现,固定方式可以是粘贴等。5. The movable half-wave plate is a half-wave plate with adjustable optical axis. Exemplarily, the movable half-wave plate is realized by means of MEMS fixing the half-wave plate, and the fixing method may be pasting or the like.
下面描述本申请的构思。The concept of the present application is described below.
相关技术中,通常采用固定光分插复用器,固定光分插复用器中能够固定分出单个波长光,或者固定加入单个波长光。这样,在调整分出光的波长(可以称为是下波波长)或者加入光的波长(可以称为是上波波长)时,需要手动插拔光纤进行操作,导致光分插复用器灵活性比较差。In related technologies, a fixed optical add-drop multiplexer is usually used, and the fixed optical add-drop multiplexer can fixedly drop a single wavelength of light, or fixedly add a single wavelength of light. In this way, when adjusting the wavelength of the dropped light (which can be called the downwave wavelength) or the wavelength of the added light (which can be called the upwave wavelength), it is necessary to manually insert and unplug the optical fiber for operation, resulting in the flexibility of the optical add-drop multiplexer. Relatively poor.
本申请中,通过输入光入射至滤波膜片的入射角度的改变,改变输入光在滤波膜片的透射波长,进而能够实现自动调整下波波长和上波波长。而且在入射角度改变过程中,输入光在滤波膜片的反射光和透射光均进行直通输出,使得输入光不会损失。或者,通过输入光入射至滤波膜片的入射角度的改变,改变输入光在滤波膜片的透射波长,进而能够实现自动调整下波波长和上波波长。而且在入射角度改变过程中,输入光入射至全反膜片,而不是滤波膜片,全反膜片将输入光全反射进行直通输出,使得输入光不会损失。In this application, by changing the incident angle of the input light incident on the filter film, the transmission wavelength of the input light on the filter film is changed, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the downwave wavelength and upwave wavelength. Moreover, in the process of changing the incident angle, both the reflected light and the transmitted light of the input light are output through the filter diaphragm, so that the input light will not be lost. Alternatively, by changing the incident angle of the input light incident on the filter film, the transmission wavelength of the input light on the filter film is changed, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the downwave wavelength and the upwave wavelength. Moreover, in the process of changing the incident angle, the input light is incident on the total reflection diaphragm instead of the filter diaphragm, and the total reflection diaphragm completely reflects the input light and outputs it through, so that the input light will not be lost.

The optical add-drop multiplexer in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a scenario of dropping light or adding light, that is, can be applied to a drop-wave scenario or an add-wave scenario.

本申请实施例涉及基于两种原理的光分插复用器,如下进行简述。The embodiment of the present application relates to an optical add-drop multiplexer based on two principles, which are briefly described as follows.
第一种原理的光分插复用器:在光分插复用器作为分波器件时,在将入射角度调整至目标数值之前(即在入射角度改变过程中),直通输入光入射至滤波膜片,将直通输入光(后文中提到的第一输入光)在滤波膜片的反射光和透射光均进行直通输出,不会损失直通输入光,入射角度为直通输入光在滤波膜片的入射角度。在将入射角度改变至目标数值后,直通输入光在滤波膜片的入射角度为目标数值,直通输入光在滤波膜片的透射光为下波波长的光,直通输入光在滤波膜片的反射光为除下波波长的光之外的光,将直通输入光在滤波膜片的反射光进行直通输出,将直通输入光在滤波膜片的透射光进行透射输出,实现分波器件的下波功能。The first principle of the optical add-drop multiplexer: when the optical add-drop multiplexer is used as a wavelength-division device, before the incident angle is adjusted to the target value (that is, during the incident angle change process), the through-input light is incident to the filter Diaphragm, the through-input light (the first input light mentioned later) is output through the reflected light and transmitted light of the filter diaphragm, without losing the through-input light, and the incident angle is that the through-input light is on the filter diaphragm angle of incidence. After changing the incident angle to the target value, the incident angle of the through-input light on the filter diaphragm is the target value, the transmitted light of the through-input light on the filter diaphragm is the light of the lower wavelength, and the reflection of the through-input light on the filter diaphragm The light is light other than the light of the lower wavelength. The through-input light is output through the reflected light of the filter diaphragm, and the through-input light is transmitted through the transmitted light of the filter diaphragm to realize the down-wavelength of the wave splitting device. Function.
在光分插复用器作为合波器件时,在将入射角度调整至目标数值之前,直通输入光入射至滤波膜片,将直通输入光在滤波膜片的反射光和透射光均进行直通输出,不会损失直通输入光。在将入射角度改变至目标数值后,由于直通输入光不包括目标数值对应的波长的光,所以直通输入光在滤波膜片没有透射。将直通输入光在滤波膜片的反射光进行直通输出,将上波输入光(后文中提到的第二输入光,第二输入光的波长为上波波长)按照入射角度为目标数值入射至滤波膜片,上波输入光在滤波膜片没有反射,将上波输入光在滤波膜片的透射光进行直通输出,实现合波器件的上波功能。When the optical add-drop multiplexer is used as a multiplexing device, before the incident angle is adjusted to the target value, the through-input light is incident on the filter diaphragm, and the through-input light is output through both the reflected light and the transmitted light of the filter diaphragm. , without loss of thru input light. After changing the incident angle to the target value, since the through-input light does not include the light of the wavelength corresponding to the target value, the through-input light is not transmitted through the filter diaphragm. The straight-through input light is output through the reflected light of the filter diaphragm, and the up-wave input light (the second input light mentioned later, the wavelength of the second input light is the up-wave wavelength) is incident to the target value according to the incident angle. The filter diaphragm, the up-wave input light is not reflected on the filter diaphragm, and the up-wave input light is directly output through the transmitted light of the filter diaphragm, realizing the up-wave function of the multiplex device.
第二种原理的光分插复用器:在光分插复用器作为分波器件时,在将入射角度调整至目标数值之前(即在入射角度改变过程中),将全反膜片移入光路中,使得直通输入光入射至全反膜片,并调整直通输入光在全反膜片的入射角度,将直通输入光在全反膜片的反射光进行直通输出。在将入射角度改变至目标数值后,将全反膜片移出光路,且将滤波膜片移入光路中,使得直通输入光在滤波膜片的入射角度也为目标数值。直通输入光在滤波膜片的透射光为下波波长的光,直通输入光在滤波膜片的反射光为除下波波长的光之外的光,将直通输入光在滤波膜片的反射光进行直通输出,将直通输入光在滤波膜片的透射光进行透射输出,实现分波器件的下波功能。The second principle of the optical add-drop multiplexer: when the optical add-drop multiplexer is used as a wavelength-demultiplexing device, before the incident angle is adjusted to the target value (that is, during the process of changing the incident angle), the total reflection diaphragm is moved into the In the optical path, the through-input light is made to be incident on the total reflection diaphragm, and the incident angle of the through-input light on the total reflection diaphragm is adjusted, so that the reflected light of the through-input light on the total reflection diaphragm is directly output. After changing the incident angle to the target value, move the total reflection diaphragm out of the optical path, and move the filter diaphragm into the optical path, so that the incident angle of the through-input light on the filter diaphragm is also the target value. The transmitted light of the through-input light on the filter diaphragm is the light of the lower wavelength, the reflected light of the through-input light on the filter diaphragm is light other than the light of the lower wavelength, and the reflected light of the through-input light on the filter diaphragm Through-through output is performed, and the through-input light is transmitted and output through the transmitted light of the filter diaphragm, so as to realize the wave-down function of the wave splitting device.
在光分插复用器作为合波器件时,在将入射角度调整至目标数值之前,将全反膜片移入光路中,使得直通输入光入射至全反膜片,并调整直通输入光在全反膜片的入射角度,将直通输入光在全反膜片的反射光进行直通输出。在将入射角度改变至目标数值后,将全反膜片移出光路,且将滤波膜片移入光路中,使得直通输入光在滤波膜片的入射角度也为目标数值。而且由于直通输入光中不包括目标数值对应的波长的光,所以直通输入光在滤波膜片没有透射。将直通输入光在滤波膜片的反射光进行直通输出,将上波输入光按照入射角度为目标数值入射滤波膜片,上波输入光在滤波膜片没有反射,将上波输入光在滤波膜片的透射光进行直通输出,实现合波器件的上波功能。When the optical add-drop multiplexer is used as a multiplexer, before adjusting the incident angle to the target value, move the all-reflection diaphragm into the optical path, so that the straight-through input light is incident on the all-reflection diaphragm, and adjust the through-input light at the full reflection The incident angle of the anti-diaphragm is to output the reflected light of the straight-through input light on the total reflection diaphragm. After changing the incident angle to the target value, move the total reflection diaphragm out of the optical path, and move the filter diaphragm into the optical path, so that the incident angle of the through-input light on the filter diaphragm is also the target value. Moreover, since the through-input light does not include the light of the wavelength corresponding to the target value, the through-input light is not transmitted through the filter diaphragm. The straight-through input light is output through the reflected light of the filter diaphragm, and the upper-wave input light is incident on the filter diaphragm according to the incident angle as the target value. The upper-wave input light is not reflected on the filter diaphragm, and the upper-wave input light The transmitted light of the chip is directly output to realize the wave adding function of the multiplexing device.

下面首先介绍光分插复用器作为分波器件的结构。The structure of the optical add-drop multiplexer as a wavelength-demultiplexing device is firstly introduced below.
光分插复用器包括直通输入端、直通输出端和透射输出端。直通输入端、直通输出端和透射输出端分别连接有光纤。直通输入端用于输入第一输入光,第一输入光是其他设备传输的输入光。直通输出端用于输出直通光至光纤,即用于传输直通光至其他设备。透射输出端用于输出透射光至光纤,即用于下波。透射输出端也能称为是下波输出端。The optical add/drop multiplexer includes a through input end, a through output end and a transmission output end. Optical fibers are respectively connected to the straight-through input end, the straight-through output end and the transmission output end. The through input end is used for inputting the first input light, and the first input light is the input light transmitted by other devices. The through output port is used to output the through light to the optical fiber, that is, to transmit the through light to other devices. The transmission output end is used to output the transmitted light to the optical fiber, that is, for downwave. The transmission output end can also be referred to as a wave-down output end.
图3示出了光分插复用器作为分波器件的结构。在图3所示的结构中,输入组件11设置于直通输入端与滤波膜片12之间的光路上,滤波膜片12设置于输入组件11的输出光路上,输出组件14设置于滤波膜片12的反射光路上,透射环回组件13设置于滤波膜片12的透射光路上。Figure 3 shows the structure of an optical add/drop multiplexer as a wavelength division device. In the structure shown in Fig. 3, the input assembly 11 is arranged on the optical path between the straight-through input end and the
在图3所示的结构中,是以将光分插复用器的下波波长调整为目标波长为例进行说明。示例性的,假设当前光分插复用器的下波波长为第一波长,将光分插复用器的下波波长从第一波长调整为目标波长,使得光分插复用器的下波波长为目标波长。或者假设当前光分插复用器不存在下波输出(即不存在透射输出),调整光分插复用器的下波波长为目标波长。在后文中以将光分插复用器的下波波长从第一波长调整为目标波长为例进行说明。In the structure shown in FIG. 3 , the adjustment of the drop wavelength of the optical add/drop multiplexer to the target wavelength is taken as an example for description. Exemplarily, assuming that the downstream wavelength of the current optical add-drop multiplexer is the first wavelength, the downstream wavelength of the optical add-drop multiplexer is adjusted from the first wavelength to the target wavelength, so that the downstream wavelength of the optical add-drop multiplexer Wavelength is the target wavelength. Or assuming that the current optical add-drop multiplexer does not have a downwave output (that is, there is no transmission output), adjust the downwave wavelength of the optical add-drop multiplexer to the target wavelength. In the following, the adjustment of the downstream wavelength of the optical add-drop multiplexer from the first wavelength to the target wavelength is taken as an example for description.
在光分插复用器的下波波长调整为目标波长的过程中,第一输入光从直通输入端输入。输入组件11将第一输入光的输出光输出至滤波膜片12。并且输入组件11调整第一输入光在滤波膜片12的入射角度,使得第一输入光在滤波膜片12的入射角度调整至目标波长对应的入射角度,即将入射角度调整至目标数值。例如,控制部件控制输入组件11将第一输入光的输出光输出至滤波膜片12,并且调整第一输入光在滤波膜片12的入射角度,使得第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12的入射角度调整至目标波长对应的入射角度。在入射角度为目标数值时,目标波长的光在滤波膜片12是全部进行透射。此处第一输入光的输出光指第一输入光从输入组件11输出的光。During the process of adjusting the downstream wavelength of the optical add-drop multiplexer to the target wavelength, the first input light is input from the through input end. The input component 11 outputs the output light of the first input light to the
在入射角度改变过程中,第一输入光的输出光在经过滤波膜片12后,得到第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12的反射光(即第一反射光)和第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12的透射光(即第一透射光)。第一反射光被输出至输出组件14,第一透射光被输出至透射环回组件13。输出组件14接收第一反射光,将第一反射光输出至直通输出端。透射环回组件13接收第一透射光,将第一透射光输出至输出组件14,输出组件14也将第一透射光输出至直通输出端。例如,控制部件控制输出组件14将第一反射光输出至直通输出端。控制部件控制透射环回组件13将第一透射光输出至输出组件14,输出组件14也将第一透射光输出至直通输出端。这样,第一透射光也输出至直通输出端,而不会输出至透射输出端,在图3中,带箭头的虚线表示透射输出端没有光输出。同理对于后文中的图4至图7以及图9中,带箭头的虚线也表示透射输出端没有光输出。In the process of changing the incident angle, after the output light of the first input light passes through the
这样,通过改变入射角度能够自动调整下波波长。而且通过透射环回组件13和输出组件14,能够使得在下波波长的调整过程中第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12的反射光和透射光,均输出至直通输出端,透射光不会从透射输出端输出,所以不会造成第一输入光的损失。In this way, the downstream wavelength can be automatically adjusted by changing the incident angle. Moreover, through the transmission loopback component 13 and the output component 14, the reflected light and the transmitted light of the output light of the first input light on the
此处需要说明的是,在入射角度改变过程中,第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12上存在透射光的原因为:第一输入光的输出光入射至滤波膜片12的入射角度一直在改变,入射角度改变会改变滤波膜片12的透射波长;若第一输入光中存在恰好为透射波长的光时,第一输入光的输出光入射至滤波膜片12时,该透射波长的光在滤波膜片12透射。It should be noted here that during the change of the incident angle, the reason why the output light of the first input light has transmitted light on the
此处还需要说明的是,由于在入射角度改变至目标数值时,第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12的反射光已经能输出至直通输出端,所以在入射角度改变至目标数值后至下一次调整下波波长之前,输入组件11和输出组件14不需要再调整,即可将第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12的反射光输出至直通输出端。It should also be noted here that since the output light of the first input light is reflected by the
示例性的,光分插复用器可以是接收到下波波长改变消息时,进行下波波长的改变,也可以是周期性进行下波波长的改变。Exemplarily, the optical add/drop multiplexer may change the downwave wavelength when receiving the downwave wavelength change message, or may change the downwave wavelength periodically.
示例性的,在图3所示的结构中,输入组件11包括第一可动反射镜111,第一可动反射镜111设置于直通输入端与滤波膜片12之间的光路上。在入射角度改变过程中,第一可动反射镜111接收第一输入光,第一可动反射镜111通过转动,将第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12的入射角度改变为目标数值。目标数值为滤波膜片12的透射波长为目标波长时第一输入光的入射角度。示例性的,滤波膜片12的透射波长为第一波长时第一输入光的入射角度为第一数值,第一可动反射镜111匀速转动,将第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12的入射角度从第一数值改变为目标数值。Exemplarily, in the structure shown in FIG. 3 , the input assembly 11 includes a first

示例性的,图4提供了另一种输入组件11的结构示意图。在图4所示的结构中,输入组件11还包括第一固定反射镜112。第一固定反射镜112设置于直通输入端与第一可动反射镜111之间的光路上。第一可动反射镜111设置于第一固定反射镜112与滤波膜片12之间的光路上。Exemplarily, FIG. 4 provides a schematic structural diagram of another input component 11 . In the structure shown in FIG. 4 , the input assembly 11 further includes a first fixed
第一输入光经过直通输入端进入光分插复用器后,入射至第一固定反射镜112。第一固定反射镜112将第一输入光反射至第一可动反射镜111。第一可动反射镜111接收到第一输入光。在入射角度改变过程中,控制部件控制第一可动反射镜111转动,将第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12的入射角度从第一数值改变为目标数值。在入射角度改变至目标数值后,第一可动反射镜111停止转动,第一可动反射镜111将第一输入光的输出光,入射至滤波膜片12,入射角度为目标数值。The first input light enters the optical add/drop multiplexer through the through input end, and then enters the first fixed
这样,在图3和图4的所示的结构中,输入组件11包括第一可动反射镜111,能够使得第一输入光的输出光入射至滤波膜片12的入射角度改变,实现第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12的透射波长改变。而且第一输入光进入光分插复用器后,是先经过第一固定反射镜112,而不是直接入射至第一可动反射镜111,能够使得第一输入光的传输方向改变,所以能够使得光分插复用器的体积比较小。In this way, in the structure shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the input assembly 11 includes a first
示例性的,输入组件11还包括至少一个透镜114,参见图5,图5是输入组件11包括两个透镜114的结构示意图。该两个透镜114设置于第一可动反射镜111与滤波膜片12之间的光路扫描范围内。示例性的,至少一个透镜114可以是凸透镜,该至少一个透镜114用于对第一输入光进行汇聚。在本申请实施例中,光路扫描范围是由多条光路组成,多条光路是由于可动反射镜的转动形成的。Exemplarily, the input assembly 11 further includes at least one

在入射角度改变至目标数值后,第一输入光从直通输入端输入,第一偏振分束组件113将第一输入光进行偏振分束,得到第一单偏振光。将第一单偏振光输出至滤波膜片12。滤波膜片12对第一单偏振光进行透射和反射,获得第二反射光和第二透射光。第二反射光被输出至第一偏振合束组件142,第一偏振合束组件142对第一反射光进行偏振合束,获得第一偏振合束光,将第一偏振合束光输出至直通输出端。第二透射光被输出至第三可动反射镜131。控制部件控制第三可动反射镜131转动,第三可动反射镜131将第一单偏振光在滤波膜片12的第二透射光,输出至第二偏振合束组件133。第二偏振合束组件133将第二透射光进行偏振合束处理,获得第三偏振合束光,将第三偏振合束光输出至透射输出端。这样,对于目标波长的光,在入射至滤波膜片12时偏振态相同,滤波带宽相同,而且透射输出端的输出光也是偏振合束光。After the incident angle is changed to the target value, the first input light is input from the through input end, and the first polarization
示例性的,偏振分束组件和偏振合束组件可以是双折射晶体。Exemplarily, the polarization beam splitting component and the polarization beam combining component may be birefringent crystals.
示例性的,图11还提供了偏振分束组件的结构示意图。偏振分束组件包括偏振分束棱镜、半波片和一个反射镜。第一输入光入射至偏振分束棱镜分为两束偏振态垂直的光。两束偏振态垂直的光其中一束经过一个反射镜,另一束经过半波片调整偏振态,使得两束光的偏振态相同,且两束光平行,间距比较窄。Exemplarily, FIG. 11 also provides a schematic structural diagram of a polarization beam splitting component. The polarizing beam splitting component includes a polarizing beam splitting prism, a half-wave plate and a mirror. The first input light is incident to the polarization beam splitter prism and split into two beams of light with perpendicular polarization states. One of the two beams of vertically polarized light passes through a mirror, and the other beam passes through a half-wave plate to adjust the polarization state, so that the polarization states of the two beams are the same, and the two beams are parallel and the distance is relatively narrow.
示例性的,图12还提供了偏振合束组件的结构示意图。偏振合束组件包括偏振合束棱镜、半波片和一个反射镜。第一单偏振光的反射光或者第一单偏振的透射光均包括两束光,这两束光的偏振态相同,且两束光平行,间距比较窄。先将一束光经过反射镜,将传输方向改变为与另一束垂直。然后再将两束光中的一束经过一个半波片,使得两束的偏振态垂直,将偏振态垂直的两束光经过一个偏振合束棱镜合为偏振合束光。Exemplarily, FIG. 12 also provides a schematic structural diagram of a polarization beam combining component. The polarization beam combining component includes a polarization beam combining prism, a half-wave plate and a mirror. The reflected light of the first single polarized light or the transmitted light of the first single polarized light both include two beams of light, the polarization states of the two beams of light are the same, and the two beams of light are parallel with a relatively narrow distance. First pass one beam of light through a mirror to change the direction of transmission to be perpendicular to the other beam. Then, one of the two beams of light passes through a half-wave plate, so that the polarization states of the two beams are vertical, and the two beams of light with vertical polarization states are combined into a polarization beam combining prism through a polarization beam combining prism.
这样,虽然通过偏振分束组件对输入光进行偏振分束后,分为两束偏振态相同的单偏振光,但是,由于两束单偏振光平行,且间距比较窄,所以可以认为是一束单偏振光入射至滤波膜片12。In this way, although the input light is polarized and split into two beams of single-polarized light with the same polarization state after being polarized and split by the polarization beam-splitting component, since the two beams of single-polarized light are parallel and the distance is relatively narrow, they can be considered as one beam. Single polarized light is incident on the

示例性的,同一波长的光的不同偏振态在滤波膜片12的滤波带宽不相同,为了连续改变第一输入光在滤波膜片12的滤波带宽,图13示出了另一种光分插复用器的结构示意图。在图13所示的结构中,光分插复用器还包括第一可动半波片15。第一可动半波片15为光轴可调的半波片。第一可动半波片15设置于第一偏振分束组件113与滤波膜片12之间的光路上,示例性的,在图13中第一可动半波片15设置于第一偏振分束组件113与第一可动反射镜111之间的光路上。控制部件与第一可动半波片15连接。或者第一可动半波片15中按照自身预设的控制逻辑进行控制。例如,周期性进行旋转等。Exemplarily, the different polarization states of light of the same wavelength have different filter bandwidths in the
控制部件控制第一可动半波片15旋转,在第一单偏振光经过第一可动半波片15时,改变第一单偏振光的偏振态。示例性的,在滤波膜片12的透射波长为目标波长时,控制部件确定目标波长对应的旋转角度,控制部件控制第一可动半波片15旋转该旋转角度。此处控制部件确定目标波长对应的旋转角度的方式为:控制部件在旋转角度与波长的对应关系中,确定目标波长对应的旋转角度,该对应关系可以存储在控制部件的内存,或者控制部件可以访问的存储器中。这样,能够通过控制第一可动半波片15旋转,调整第一单偏振光的偏振态,实现滤波带宽的改变。The control component controls the first movable half-
示例性的,光分插复用器作为分波器件时,还可以同时作为合波器件,光分插复用器还包括上波输入端,上波输入端输入第二输入光。第二输入光为单个波长的光,上波输入端输入的第二输入光入射至第二可动反射镜141,第二可动反射镜141将第二输入光反射至直通输出端。Exemplarily, when the optical add-drop multiplexer is used as a wavelength-dividing device, it can also serve as a multiplexer device at the same time, and the optical add-drop multiplexer also includes a wave-up input terminal, and the wave-up input terminal inputs the second input light. The second input light is light of a single wavelength, and the second input light input from the upwave input end enters the second
这样,在光分插复用器作为分波器件时,能够自动调整下波波长。而且在自动调整下波波长的过程中,由于设置了透射环回组件13,能够使得直通输入光在滤波膜片12的反射光和透射光均从直通输出端输出,而不会使该透射光从透射输出端输出,所以能够减少直通输入端的输入光的损失。而且由于设置了可动半波片,所以也能够连续改变下波波长的光在滤波膜片12的滤波带宽。In this way, when the optical add-drop multiplexer is used as a wavelength-demultiplexing device, the downwave wavelength can be automatically adjusted. Moreover, in the process of automatically adjusting the wavelength of the lower wave, since the transmission loopback component 13 is provided, the reflected light and the transmitted light of the through-input light on the
值得注意的是,在光分插复用器作为分波器件时,在入射角度改变过程中,第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振合束组件133是否存在没有影响,也即是不设置第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振合束组件133也行。因此在入射角度改变过程中,将第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振合束组件133移出光路,而在入射角度改变至目标数值后,将第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振合束组件133移入光路。当然,为了简化控制,也能是光分插复用器生产好后,第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振合束组件133就一直位于光路中。It is worth noting that when the optical add/drop multiplexer is used as a wavelength splitting device, whether the first polarization
下面介绍光分插复用器作为合波器件的结构。The following introduces the structure of the optical add-drop multiplexer as a multiplexer device.
图14示出了光分插复用器作为合波器件的结构。在图14所示的结构中,输入组件11设置于直通输入端与滤波膜片12之间的光路上,滤波膜片12设置于输入组件11的输出光路上,输出组件14设置于滤波膜片12的反射光路上,透射环回组件13设置于滤波膜片12的透射光路上。Figure 14 shows the structure of an optical add/drop multiplexer as a multiplexing device. In the structure shown in Figure 14, the input assembly 11 is arranged on the optical path between the through input end and the
光分插复用器包括直通输入端、直通输出端和上波输入端。直通输入端、直通输出端和上波输入端分别连接有光纤。直通输入端用于输入第一输入光,第一输入光是其他设备传输的输入光。直通输出端用于输出直通光至光纤。上波输入端用于输入单个波长的光。The optical add-drop multiplexer includes a through input end, a through output end and a wave adding input end. Optical fibers are respectively connected to the straight-through input end, the straight-through output end and the upwave input end. The through input end is used for inputting the first input light, and the first input light is the input light transmitted by other devices. The through output port is used to output the through light to the optical fiber. The wave-up input end is used to input light of a single wavelength.
在图14所示的结构中,以将光分插复用器的上波波长调整为目标波长为例进行说明。示例性的,假设当前光分插复用器的上波波长为第一波长,将光分插复用器的上波波长从第一波长调整为目标波长,使得光分插复用器的上波波长为目标波长。或者假设当前光分插复用器不存在上波输入,调整光分插复用器的上波波长为目标波长。后文中描述合波器件时,以将光分插复用器的上波波长从第一波长调整为目标波长为例进行说明。In the structure shown in FIG. 14 , the adjustment of the add wavelength of the optical add/drop multiplexer to the target wavelength is taken as an example for description. Exemplarily, assuming that the upstream wavelength of the current optical add-drop multiplexer is the first wavelength, the upstream wavelength of the optical add-drop multiplexer is adjusted from the first wavelength to the target wavelength, so that the upstream wavelength of the optical add-drop multiplexer Wavelength is the target wavelength. Or assuming that there is no add-wave input to the current optical add-drop multiplexer, adjust the add-wave wavelength of the optical add-drop multiplexer to the target wavelength. When describing the multiplexing device in the following, the adjustment of the adding wavelength of the optical add/drop multiplexer from the first wavelength to the target wavelength is taken as an example for illustration.
在光分插复用器的上波波长调整为目标波长的过程中的处理过程,参见针对图3的描述,此处不再赘述。在图14中,带箭头的虚线表示上波输入端没有上波输入光输入。同理对于后文中的图15至图17中,带箭头的虚线也表示上波输入端没有上波输入光输入。从图14中可知,通过改变入射角度能够自动调整上波波长。而且通过透射环回组件13和输出组件14能够使得在上波波长的调整过程中,第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12的反射光和透射光,均输出至直通输出端,而不会将该透射光丢失,所以不会造成第一输入光的损失。For the processing process in the process of adjusting the add wavelength of the optical add/drop multiplexer to the target wavelength, refer to the description of FIG. 3 , which will not be repeated here. In FIG. 14 , a dotted line with an arrow indicates that there is no upwave input light input at the upwave input end. Similarly, in FIG. 15 to FIG. 17 hereinafter, the dotted lines with arrows also indicate that there is no upwave input light input at the upwave input end. It can be seen from Fig. 14 that by changing the incident angle, the adding wavelength can be automatically adjusted. Moreover, through the transmission loopback component 13 and the output component 14, during the adjustment process of the wavelength of the upper wave, the reflected light and transmitted light of the output light of the first input light on the
示例性的,光分插复用器可以是接收到上波波长改变消息时,进行改变上波波长,也可以是周期性改变上波波长。Exemplarily, the optical add/drop multiplexer may change the adding wavelength when receiving the adding wavelength changing message, or may change the adding wavelength periodically.

这样,输入组件11包括第一可动反射镜111,能够使得第一输入光的输出光入射至滤波膜片12的入射角改变,实现第一输入光在滤波膜片12的透射波长改变。而且第一输入光进入光分插复用器后,是先经过一个固定反射镜,而不是直接入射至第一可动反射镜111,能够使得第一输入光的传输方向改变,所以能够使得光分插复用器的体积比较小。In this way, the input component 11 includes the first
需要说明的是,在上述图15中,输入组件11包括一个可动反射镜和一个固定反射镜,这仅是一种示例性的实现方式。在实际应用中,输入组件11还可以有其它实现方式。例如,输入组件11包括多个可动反射镜。再例如,输入组件11包括一个可动反射镜和多个固定反射镜。再例如,输入组件11包括一个可动反射镜和多个固定反射镜等。It should be noted that, in the above-mentioned FIG. 15 , the input assembly 11 includes a movable reflector and a fixed reflector, which is only an exemplary implementation manner.

在入射角度改变过程中,第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12的第一透射光入射至第四可动反射镜132。第四可动反射镜132通过转动将第一透射光,反射输出至第三可动反射镜131。第三可动反射镜131通过转动,将第一透射光反射输出至滤波膜片12。例如,控制部件控制第四可动反射镜132转动,第四可动反射镜132将第一透射光,反射输出至第三可动反射镜131。控制部件控制第三可动反射镜131转动,第三可动反射镜131将第一透射光,反射输出至滤波膜片12。滤波膜片12将第一透射光,透射输出至输出组件14。输出组件14将第一透射光输出至直通输出端。此处需要控制第三可动反射镜131和第四可动反射镜132同步转动。这样,在入射角度改变过程中,第一输入光的输出光在滤波膜片12的透射光也能输出至直通输出端,使得第一输出端全部输出至直通输出端,不会使得第一输入光损失。During the change of the incident angle, the first transmitted light of the output light of the first input light is incident on the fourth
示例性的,图17示出了透射环回组件13的另一种结构。在图17所示的结构中,透射环回组件13还包括第四固定反射镜136。第四固定反射镜136设置于第四可动反射镜132与滤波膜片12之间的光路扫描范围内。Exemplarily, FIG. 17 shows another structure of the transmission loopback component 13 . In the structure shown in FIG. 17 , the transmissive loopback component 13 further includes a fourth fixed

After the incident angle is changed to the target value, the transmission wavelength of the
这样,第二输入光经过第三可动反射镜131、滤波膜片12和输出组件14输出至直通输出端,使得光分插复用器能够实现上波。而且第一输入光的输出光入射至滤波膜片12后,滤波膜片12透射的光应该是目标波长的光,但是第一输入光中不包括目标波长的光,所以相当于是第一输入光的输出光入射至滤波膜片12时,仅有反射而没有透射,不会造成第一输入光的损失。此处第一输入光不包括目标波长的光的原因为:上波波长不能和直通输入光的波长相同,在相同时会造成数据无法区分。In this way, the second input light is output to the straight-through output end through the third
示例性的,在图18所示的结构中,第三可动反射镜131与上波输入端之间的光路上可选的设置有第五固定反射镜137,第五固定反射镜137属于透射环回组件13。第二输入光入射至第五固定反射镜137。第五固定反射镜137将第二输入光反射至第三可动反射镜131。这样,设置第五固定反射镜137使得第二输入光的传输方向改变,使得光分插复用器的体积比较小。Exemplarily, in the structure shown in FIG. 18, a fifth fixed
示例性的,滤波膜片12对同一波长不同偏振态的光有不同的滤波带宽,为了使得第一输入光中同一波长的光在滤波膜片12的滤波带宽相同,将第一输入光转变为单偏振光,相应的,提供了图19所示的光分插复用器的结构。Exemplarily, the
在图19所示的光分插复用器中,输入组件11还包括第一偏振分束组件113,输出组件14还包括第一偏振合束组件142。示例性的,在输入组件11包括第一可动反射镜111和第一固定反射镜112时,第一偏振分束组件113设置于直通输入端与第一固定反射镜112之间的光路上。或者,第一偏振分束组件113设置于第一可动反射镜111与第一固定反射镜112之间的光路上。In the optical add/drop multiplexer shown in FIG. 19 , the input component 11 further includes a first polarization
示例性的,在输出组件14包括第二可动反射镜141时,第一偏振合束组件142设置于第二可动反射镜141与直通输出端之间的光路上。示例性的,在输出组件14包括第二可动反射镜141和第二固定反射镜143时,第一偏振合束组件142设置于第二固定反射镜143与直通输出端之间的光路上。或者,第一偏振合束组件142设置于第二可动反射镜141与第二固定反射镜143之间的光路上。Exemplarily, when the output assembly 14 includes the second
第一输入光在经过第一偏振分束组件113时,第一偏振分束组件113对第一输入光进行偏振分束,获得第一单偏振光。When the first input light passes through the first polarization
在入射角度改变过程中,光传输过程的描述参见图9的描述,此处不再赘述。During the process of changing the incident angle, refer to the description of FIG. 9 for the description of the light transmission process, which will not be repeated here.
示例性的,透射环回组件13还包括第二偏振分束组件134,参见图19,第二偏振分束组件134设置于上波输入端与第三可动反射镜131之间的光路上。示例性的,在存在第五固定反射镜137的情况下,第二偏振分束组件134设置于上波输入端与第五固定反射镜137之间的光路上。Exemplarily, the transmissive loopback component 13 further includes a second polarization
在入射角度改变至目标数值后,第一输入光中不包括目标波长的光,第一输入光从直通输入端输入,第一偏振分束组件113将第一输入光进行偏振分束,得到第一单偏振光。将第一单偏振光输出至滤波膜片12。滤波膜片12对第一单偏振光进行反射得到第二反射光,第二反射光经过第二可动反射镜141,输出至第一偏振合束组件142,第一偏振合束组件142对第二反射光进行偏振合束,输出至直通输出端。After the incident angle is changed to the target value, the first input light does not include light of the target wavelength, the first input light is input from the through input end, and the first polarization
第二输入光从上波输入端输入,入射至第二偏振分束组件134。第二偏振分束组件134将第二输入光进行偏振分束,获得第二单偏振光。第二偏振分束组件134将第二单偏振光输出至第三可动反射镜131。第二单偏振光是两束偏振态相同,且平行的光,第二单偏振光包括的两束光的间距比较窄。控制部件控制第三可动反射镜131转动,第三可动反射镜131将第二输入光反射至滤波膜片12,且入射角度为目标数值,此时滤波膜片12透射第二单偏振光,得到第三透射光。这样,第二单偏振光经过第三可动反射镜131、滤波膜片12和第二可动反射镜141输出至第一偏振合束组件142。第一偏振合束组件142对第三透射光进行偏振合束,获得第四偏振合束光,将第四偏振合束光输出至直通输出端。The second input light is input from the wave-up input end and enters the second polarization
这样,上波输入端输入的目标波长的光也能进行偏振分束,以及进行偏振合束,使得既不影响输出,还能够使得在滤波膜片12的滤波带宽不受偏振态的影响。In this way, the light of the target wavelength input at the upwave input end can also undergo polarization splitting and polarization combining, so that the output is not affected, and the filtering bandwidth of the
此处需要说明的是,在入射角度改变至目标数值后,第一输入光中不包括目标波长的光,所以第一输入光在滤波膜片12上没有透射。有无第一偏振分束组件113不会影响第一输入光在滤波膜片12的透射,但是还是设置了第一偏振分束组件113,原因为:由于第一输入光最后直通输出时,会经过第一偏振合束组件142进行偏振合束,所以经过这之前要进行偏振分束。It should be noted here that after the incident angle is changed to the target value, the first input light does not include the light of the target wavelength, so the first input light is not transmitted through the
示例性的,同一波长的光的不同偏振态在滤波膜片12的滤波带宽不相同,为了连续改变第二输入光在滤波膜片12的滤波带宽,图20示出了另一种光分插复用器的结构示意图。图20所示的结构中,光分插复用器还包括第二可动半波片16。该第二可动半波片16设置于第二偏振分束组件134与第三可动反射镜131之间的光路上。Exemplarily, the different polarization states of light of the same wavelength have different filter bandwidths in the
控制部件控制第二可动半波片16旋转,在第二单偏振光经过第二可动半波片16时,改变第二单偏振光的偏振态。示例性的,在滤波膜片12的透射波长为目标波长时,控制部件确定目标波长对应的旋转角度,控制部件控制第二可动半波片16旋转该旋转角度。此处控制部件确定目标波长对应的旋转角度的方式为:控制部件在旋转角度与波长的对应关系中,确定目标波长对应的旋转角度,该对应关系可以存储在控制部件的内存,或者控制部件可以访问的存储器中。这样,能够通过控制第二可动半波片16旋转,调整第二单偏振光的偏振态,实现滤波带宽的可调整。The control component controls the second movable half-wave plate 16 to rotate, and when the second single-polarized light passes through the second movable half-wave plate 16, the polarization state of the second single-polarized light is changed. Exemplarily, when the transmission wavelength of the
这样,在光分插复用器作为合波器件时,能够自动改变上波波长。而且在自动改变上波波长的过程中,由于设置了透射环回组件13,能够使得直通输入光在滤波膜片12的反射光和透射光均从直通输出端输出,而不会使该透射光丢失,所以能够减少直通输入端的输入光的损失。而且由于设置了可动半波片,通过控制可动半波片能够连续改变上波输入光的偏振态,进而能够连续改变上波输入光在滤波膜片12的滤波带宽。In this way, when the optical add/drop multiplexer is used as a multiplexing device, the adding wavelength can be changed automatically. Moreover, in the process of automatically changing the wavelength of the upper wave, since the transmissive loopback component 13 is provided, the reflected light and the transmitted light of the through-input light on the
需要说明的是,在光分插复用器作为分波器件或者合波器件时,在入射角度改变过程中,控制部件控制第一可动反射镜111转动的同时,控制部件控制第二可动反射镜141、第三可动反射镜131、第四可动反射镜132同步转动。控制每个可动反射镜转动的速率、方向和幅度可以是预先配置的,控制部件读取预先存储的速率和方向,即可控制各个可动反射镜。例如,控制部件控制第一可动反射镜111匀速逆时针转动1度,控制部件控制第二可动反射镜141、第三可动反射镜131、第四可动反射镜132匀速顺时针转动1度。在入射角度改变至目标数值之后,第一可动反射镜111、第二可动反射镜141均已转动到对应的位置上,不需要转动,控制部件按照第三可动反射镜131转动的速率、方向和幅度,对第三可动反射镜131进行控制。It should be noted that when the optical add/drop multiplexer is used as a wave splitting device or a wave combining device, in the process of changing the incident angle, while the control part controls the rotation of the first
值得注意的是,在入射角度改变过程中,第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振分束组件134是否存在没有影响,也即是不设置第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振分束组件134也行。因此在入射角度改变过程中,将第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振分束组件134移出光路,而在入射角度改变至目标数值后,将第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振分束组件134移入光路。当然,为了简化控制,也能是光分插复用器生产好后,第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振分束组件134就一直位于光路中。It is worth noting that, in the process of changing the incident angle, the existence of the first polarization

光分插复用器包括第一输入组件21、全反膜片22、至少一个第一滤波膜片23和第一输出组件24。The optical add/drop multiplexer includes a
可选的,全反膜片22和至少一个第一滤波膜片23可以单独设置,也可以是集成在一起。在集成在一起时,相当于全反膜片22和至少一个第一滤波膜片23组成拼接膜片,拼接膜片中全反膜片22和每个第一滤波膜片23平行。Optionally, the total reflection diaphragm 22 and the at least one first filter diaphragm 23 can be arranged separately or integrated together. When integrated together, it is equivalent to the total reflection membrane 22 and at least one first filter membrane 23 forming a spliced membrane, in which the total reflection membrane 22 is parallel to each first filter membrane 23 .
示例性的,全反膜片22和至少一个第一滤波膜片23组成拼接膜片时,全反膜片22和至少一个第一滤波膜片23按照侧面并排叠加在一起,全反膜片22和每个第一滤波膜片23的表面均未重叠,任两个第一滤波膜片23的表面也未重叠。此处表面为光的入射面或者出射面,即垂直于厚度方向的面,侧面为全反膜片22和第一滤波膜片23中厚度方向的面。示例性的,全反膜片22和每个第一滤波膜片23平行,但未位于同一平面。或者,全反膜片22和每个第一滤波膜片23平行,且位于同一平面。Exemplarily, when the total reflection diaphragm 22 and at least one first filter diaphragm 23 form a spliced diaphragm, the total reflection diaphragm 22 and at least one first filter diaphragm 23 are stacked side by side, and the total reflection diaphragm 22 The surfaces of each first filter membrane 23 are not overlapped, and the surfaces of any two first filter membranes 23 are not overlapped. Here, the surface is the incident surface or the outgoing surface of light, that is, the surface perpendicular to the thickness direction, and the side surface is the surface of the total reflection film 22 and the first filter film 23 in the thickness direction. Exemplarily, the total reflection diaphragm 22 is parallel to each first filter diaphragm 23 , but not located on the same plane. Alternatively, the total reflection diaphragm 22 is parallel to each first filter diaphragm 23 and located on the same plane.
示例性的,全反膜片22是一个能将本申请实施例涉及的所有波长的光进行反射的膜片。每个第一滤波膜片23的滤波带宽不相同。例如,至少一个第一滤波膜片23为两个滤波膜片,滤波带宽分别为100G和200G。本申请实施例中,对拼接膜片中全反膜片22和第一滤波膜片23的排列方式不做限定。例如,全反膜片22位于至少第一个第一滤波膜片23的左侧,或者右侧,或者任两个第一滤波膜片23之间等。在本申请实施例中,以全反膜片22和至少一个第一滤波膜片23组成拼接膜片为例进行说明。在后文的图示中均是以拼接膜片为例进行说明。Exemplarily, the total reflection film 22 is a film capable of reflecting light of all wavelengths involved in the embodiment of the present application. The filtering bandwidth of each first filtering membrane 23 is different. For example, at least one first filter membrane 23 is two filter membranes, and the filter bandwidths are 100G and 200G respectively. In the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the arrangement of the total reflection membrane 22 and the first filter membrane 23 in the spliced membrane. For example, the total reflection diaphragm 22 is located on the left side or the right side of at least the first first filter diaphragm 23 , or between any two first filter diaphragms 23 .

在本申请实施例中,以控制部件执行对第一输入组件21、全反膜片22、至少一个第一滤波膜片23和第一输出组件24的控制为例进行说明。In the embodiment of the present application, the control part is used to control the
下面介绍光分插复用器作为分波器件的结构。The following describes the structure of the optical add-drop multiplexer as a wave-division device.
如前文所述光分插复用器包括直通输入端、直通输出端和透射输出端。第一输入组件21设置于直通输入端与拼接膜片之间的光路上,拼接膜片设置于第一输入组件21的输出光路上。As mentioned above, the optical add/drop multiplexer includes a through input end, a through output end and a transmission output end. The
图21示出了光分插复用器作为分波器件的结构。在图21所示的结构中,以将光分插复用器的下波波长调整为目标波长为例进行说明。在光分插复用器的下波波长调整为目标波长的过程中,全反膜片22移入第一输入组件21的输出光路上(此步骤在全反膜片22不在该输出光路上时执行),第一输入光从直通输入端输入。第一输入组件21将第一输入光输出至全反膜片22,且将第一输入光的输出光在全反膜片22的入射角度改变为目标数值,如前文所述目标数值对应目标波长。例如,控制部件控制拼接膜片移动,将全反膜片22移入第一输入组件21的输出光路上。控制部件控制第一输入组件21将第一输入光的输出光输出至全反膜片22,且将第一输入光的输出光在全反膜片22的入射角度改变为目标数值。第一输入光的输出光为第一输入光经过第一输入组件21输出的光。Figure 21 shows the structure of an optical add/drop multiplexer as a wavelength division device. In the structure shown in FIG. 21 , the adjustment of the drop wavelength of the optical add/drop multiplexer to the target wavelength is taken as an example for description. In the process of adjusting the downstream wavelength of the optical add/drop multiplexer to the target wavelength, the all-reflection diaphragm 22 moves into the output optical path of the first input assembly 21 (this step is performed when the all-reflection diaphragm 22 is not on the output optical path ), the first input light is input from the through input end. The
第一输出组件24将全反膜片22输出的反射光进行直通输出,即输出至直通输出端。例如,控制部件控制第一输出组件24,第一输出组件24将全反膜片22输出的反射光输出至直通输出端。此处需要说明的是,第一输入光的输出光在全反膜片22没有透射光,在图21中,带箭头的虚线表示透射输出端没有光输出,同理对于图22和图23中,带箭头的虚线也表示透射输出端没有光输出。由于全反膜片22与第一滤波膜片23平行,所以相当于调整第一输入光在第一滤波膜片23的入射角度。The first output component 24 directly outputs the reflected light output by the total reflection film 22 , that is, outputs it to the through output end. For example, the control unit controls the first output assembly 24, and the first output assembly 24 outputs the reflected light output by the full reflection film 22 to the through output end. It should be noted here that the output light of the first input light has no transmitted light on the total reflection film 22. In FIG. , the dashed line with an arrow also indicates that there is no light output from the transmitted output. Since the total reflection film 22 is parallel to the first filter film 23 , it is equivalent to adjusting the incident angle of the first input light on the first filter film 23 .
在入射角度改变至目标数值后,第一滤波膜片23的透射波长为目标波长,将某个第一滤波膜片23(后续称为是目标滤波膜片)移入第一输入组件21的输出光路中,全反膜片22被移出该输出光路。例如,控制部件控制拼接膜片移动,将目标滤波膜片移入第一输入组件21的输出光路中,并将全反膜片22移出该输出光路中,目标滤波膜片移入至全反膜片22原来在输出光路的位置上。目标滤波膜片为目标波长对应的第一滤波膜片23。目标滤波膜片的滤波带宽与目标波长所要求的滤波带宽相同。第一输入光经过第一输入组件21反射至目标滤波膜片。目标滤波膜片对第一输入光的输出光中的目标波长的光进行透射,并对其他波长的光进行反射。第一输入光的反射光被输出至第一输出组件24进行直通输出(即输出至直通输出端),第一输入光的透射光被输出至第一输出组件24进行透射输出(即输出至透射输出端)。此处需要说明的是,基于目标波长选择目标滤波膜片,能够使得目标波长所要求的滤波带宽与目标滤波膜片的滤波带宽接近,使得光分插复用器的性能更好。After the incident angle is changed to the target value, the transmission wavelength of the first filter film 23 is the target wavelength, and a certain first filter film 23 (hereinafter referred to as the target filter film) is moved into the output optical path of the
这样,在入射角度改变过程中,能够自动调整下波波长,且设置全反膜片22使得输入光不会损失。In this way, in the process of changing the incident angle, the wavelength of the downwave can be automatically adjusted, and the total reflection film 22 is set so that the input light will not be lost.
示例性的,在图21所示的结构中,第一输入组件21包括第一可动反射镜111,第一可动反射镜111设置于直通输入端与拼接膜片之间的光路上。在入射角度改变过程中,第一可动反射镜111接收第一输入光。第一可动反射镜111通过转动,将第一输入光的输出光在全反膜片22的入射角度改变为目标数值。示例性的,控制部件控制第一可动反射镜111转动,第一可动反射镜111将第一输入光的输出光在全反膜片22的入射角度改变为目标数值。例如,控制部件能够控制第一可动反射镜111匀速转动,将第一输入光的输出光在全反膜片22的入射角度改变为目标数值。在入射角度改变至目标数值后,第一可动反射镜111停止转动,目标滤波膜片移入第一输入组件21的输出光路上,第一可动反射镜111接收第一输入光,将第一输入光的输出光入射至目标滤波膜片。由于目标滤波膜片与全反膜片22平行,所以第一输入光的输出光入射至目标滤波膜片的入射角度为目标数值。Exemplarily, in the structure shown in FIG. 21 , the
示例性的,图22提供了第一输入组件21的另一种结构示意图。在图22所示的结构中,第一输入组件21还包括第一固定反射镜112。第一固定反射镜112设置于直通输入端与第一可动反射镜111之间的光路上,第一可动反射镜111设置于第一固定反射镜112与拼接膜片之间的光路上。Exemplarily, FIG. 22 provides another schematic structural view of the
第一输入光经过直通输入端进入光分插复用器后,入射至第一固定反射镜112。第一固定反射镜112将第一输入光反射至第一可动反射镜111。The first input light enters the optical add/drop multiplexer through the through input end, and then enters the first fixed
这样,在图21和图22的所示的结构中,第一输入组件21包括第一可动反射镜111,能够使得第一输入光入射至全反膜片22的入射角度改变,实现第一输入光在目标滤波膜片的透射波长改变。而且第一输入光进入光分插复用器后,是先经过第一固定反射镜112,而不是直接入射至第一可动反射镜111,能够使得第一输入光的传输方向改变,所以能够使得光分插复用器的体积比较小。In this way, in the structure shown in FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 , the
示例性的,第一输入组件21还包括至少一个透镜114,图23是第一输入组件21包括至少一个透镜114的结构示意图。至少一个透镜114设置于第一可动反射镜111与拼接膜片之间的光路扫描范围内。至少一个透镜114是凸透镜,该至少一个透镜114用于对第一输入光进行汇聚。Exemplarily, the

示例性的,第一输出组件24包括第一子输出组件241和第二子输出组件242,参见图24。第一子输出组件241设置于全反膜片22(或者目标滤波膜片)与直通输出端之间的光路上。第二子输出组件242设置于全反膜片22(或者目标滤波膜片)与透射输出端之间的光路上。Exemplarily, the first output component 24 includes a first sub-output component 241 and a second sub-output component 242 , see FIG. 24 . The first sub-output assembly 241 is disposed on the optical path between the total reflection film 22 (or the target filter film) and the straight-through output end. The second sub-output assembly 242 is disposed on the optical path between the total reflection film 22 (or the target filter film) and the transmission output end.
在入射角度改变过程中,第一子输出组件241接收第一输入光的输出光在全反膜片22的反射光,将该反射光,反射输出至直通输出端。在入射角度改变至目标数值后,第一子输出组件241接收第一输入光的输出光在目标滤波片的反射光,将该反射光,反射输出至直通输出端。第二子输出组件242接收第一输入光的输出光在目标滤波膜片的透射光。控制部件控制第二子输出组件242,第二子输出组件242将该透射光,输出至透射输出端。In the process of changing the incident angle, the first sub-output assembly 241 receives the reflected light of the output light of the first input light on the total reflection film 22 , reflects and outputs the reflected light to the through output end. After the incident angle is changed to the target value, the first sub-output component 241 receives the reflected light of the output light of the first input light on the target filter, and outputs the reflected light to the through output end. The second sub-output component 242 receives the transmitted light of the output light of the first input light on the target filter film. The control part controls the second sub-output assembly 242, and the second sub-output assembly 242 outputs the transmitted light to the transmission output terminal.

在入射角度改变过程中,第二可动反射镜141通过转动,将第一输入光的输出光在全反膜片22的反射光,反射输出至直通输出端。例如,控制部件控制述第二可动反射镜141转动,第二可动反射镜141将第一输入光的输出光在全反膜片22的反射光,反射输出至直通输出端。这样,由于第一可动反射镜111的转动,会导致该反射光的传输方向改变,所以第二可动反射镜141的转动要与第一可动反射镜111配合。During the change of the incident angle, the second
在入射角度改变至目标数值后,第二可动反射镜141停止转动。第二可动反射镜141接收第一输入光的输出光在目标滤波膜片的反射光,将第一输入光的输出光在目标滤波膜片的反射光,反射输出至直通输出端。After the incident angle changes to the target value, the second

The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of movable mirrors included in the first sub-output assembly 241 . For example, the first sub-output component 241 can be realized by using multiple movable mirrors, or can be realized by using one movable mirror and one fixed mirror.

示例性的,在第二子输出组件242包括第三可动反射镜131和第二固定反射镜143时,第二偏振合束组件133设置于第三可动反射镜131与透射输出端之间的光路上。例如,第二偏振合束组件133设置于第二固定反射镜143与透射输出端之间的光路上。Exemplarily, when the second sub-output assembly 242 includes the third
值得注意的是,在全反膜片22位于第一输入组件21的输出光路中时,第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振合束组件133是否存在没有影响,也即是不设置第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振合束组件133也行。因此控制部件可以在全反膜片22位于第一输入组件21的输出光路中时,将第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振合束组件133移出光路,而在目标滤波膜片位于第一输入组件21的输出光路中时,将第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振合束组件133移入光路。当然,为了简化控制,也可以不进行移动,在全反膜片22或者目标滤波膜片位于第一输入组件21的输出光路中时,第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振合束组件133均在光路中。It should be noted that when the total reflection film 22 is located in the output optical path of the
此处以目标滤波膜片位于第一输入组件21的输出光路中为例进行说明(全反膜片22位于该输出光路中时,仅是没有透射光)。在入射角度改变至目标数值后,第一输入光在经过第一偏振分束组件113时,第一偏振分束组件113将第一输入光进行偏振分束,获得第一单偏振光。第一可动反射镜111将第一单偏振光反射至目标滤波膜片。目标滤波膜片对第一单偏振光进行透射和反射。第一单偏振光的反射光被输出至第二可动反射镜141,第二可动反射镜141将该反射光,反射输出至第一偏振合束组件142。第一偏振合束组件142对该反射光进行偏振合束,获得第一偏振合束光,将第一偏振合束光输出至直通输出端。Here, the target filter film is located in the output light path of the

这样,第一输入光转变为单偏振光入射至目标滤波膜片,使得第一输入光经过目标滤波膜片时对于同一波长的光滤波带宽相同。最后输出至直通输出端时,又将单偏振光转变为偏振合束光,使得直通输出端输出的光是偏振合束光。最后输出至透射输出端时,又将单偏振光转变为偏振合束光,使得透射输出端输出的光是偏振合束光。In this way, the first input light is transformed into a single polarized light and enters the target filter film, so that when the first input light passes through the target filter film, the light filtering bandwidth for the same wavelength is the same. When finally output to the through output end, the single polarized light is converted into polarization combined light, so that the light output from the through output end is the polarization combined light. When finally output to the transmission output end, the single polarized light is converted into polarization combined light, so that the light output from the transmission output end is polarization combined light.

In order to continuously change the filter bandwidth of the output light of the first input light in the target filter film, the optical add-drop multiplexer further includes a second A movable half-
控制部件控制第一可动半波片15旋转,在第一单偏振光经过第一可动半波片15时,改变第一单偏振光的偏振态。示例性的,在目标滤波膜片的透射波长为目标波长时,控制部件确定目标波长对应的旋转角度,控制部件控制第一可动半波片15旋转该旋转角度。此处控制部件确定目标波长对应的旋转角度的方式为:控制部件在旋转角度与波长的对应关系中,确定目标波长对应的旋转角度,该对应关系可以存储在控制部件的内存,或者控制部件可以访问的存储器中。这样,能够通过控制第一可动半波片15旋转,调整第一单偏振光的偏振态,实现滤波带宽的连续改变。The control component controls the first movable half-
这样,在下波波长调整的过程中,全反膜片22移入第一输入组件21的输出光路中,第一输入光入射至全反膜片22全部被反射,输出至直通输出端,不仅能够自动调整下波波长,而且能够减少第一输入光的损失。而且在下波波长调整至目标波长后,目标滤波膜片移入第一输入组件21的输出光路中,第一输入光入射至目标滤波膜片,第一输入光中目标波长的光在目标滤波膜片透射,输出至透射输出端,并且第一输入光中其他波长的光在目标滤波膜片反射,输出至直通输出端,供其他设备接收。In this way, in the process of adjusting the downstream wavelength, the total reflection diaphragm 22 moves into the output optical path of the

示例性的,第一输出组件24包括第二可动反射镜141,参见图27,第二可动反射镜141设置于拼接膜片与直通输出端之间的光路上。Exemplarily, the first output assembly 24 includes a second
在入射角度改变过程中,控制部件控制述第二可动反射镜141转动,第二可动反射镜141将第一输入光在全反膜片22的反射光,反射输出至直通输出端。这样,由于第一可动反射镜111的转动,会导致第一输入光在全反膜片22的反射光的传输方向改变,所以第二可动反射镜141的转动要与第一可动反射镜111配合。During the change of the incident angle, the control unit controls the rotation of the second

示例性的,目标滤波膜片对同一波长不同偏振的光有不同的滤波带宽,为了使得第一输入光中同一波长的光在目标滤波膜片的滤波带宽相同,将第一输入光转变为单偏振光,相应的,提供了图30所示的光分插复用器的结构。Exemplarily, the target filter film has different filter bandwidths for light of the same wavelength and different polarizations. In order to make the light of the same wavelength in the first input light have the same filter bandwidth of the target filter film, the first input light is converted into a single The polarized light, accordingly, provides the structure of the optical add-drop multiplexer shown in FIG. 30 .
在图30所示的光分插复用器中,第一子输入组件211包括第一偏振分束组件113,第一输出组件24还包括第一偏振合束组件142,第二子输入组件212还包括第二偏振分束组件134。In the optical add/drop multiplexer shown in Figure 30, the first sub-input assembly 211 includes a first polarization

示例性的,在第二子输入组件212包括第三可动反射镜131时,第二偏振分束组件134设置于上波输入端与第三可动反射镜131之间的光路上。在第二子输入组件212包括第三可动反射镜131和第三固定反射镜135时,第二偏振分束组件134设置于上波输入端与第三固定反射镜135之间的光路上。Exemplarily, when the second sub-input component 212 includes the third
值得注意的是,在全反膜片22位于第一输入组件21的输出光路中时,第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振分束组件134是否存在没有影响,也即是不设置第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振分束组件134也行。因此控制部件可以在全反膜片22位于第一输入组件21的输出光路中时,将第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振分束组件134移出光路,而在目标滤波膜片位于第一输入组件21的输出光路中时,将第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振分束组件134移入光路。当然,为了简化控制,也能不进行移动,在全反膜片22或者目标滤波膜片位于第一输入组件21的输出光路中时,第一偏振分束组件113、第一偏振合束组件142和第二偏振分束组件134均位于光路中。It should be noted that when the all-reflection film 22 is located in the output light path of the
此处以目标滤波膜片位于第一输入组件21的输出光路中为例进行说明(全反膜片22位于该输出光路中时,仅是没有透射光)。在入射角度改变至目标数值后,第一输入光在经过第一偏振分束组件113时,第一偏振分束组件113将第一输入光进行偏振分束,获得第一单偏振光。第一可动反射镜111将第一单偏振光反射至目标滤波膜片。目标滤波膜片对第一单偏振光进行反射。第一单偏振光的反射光被输出至第二可动反射镜141,第二可动反射镜141将该反射光输出至第一偏振合束组件142。第一偏振合束组件142对该反射光进行偏振合束,获得第一偏振合束光,将第一偏振合束光输出至直通输出端。Here, the target filter film is located in the output light path of the
第二输入光在经过第二偏振分束组件134时,第二偏振分束组件134将第二输入光进行偏振分束,获得第二单偏振光。第三可动反射镜131将第二单偏振光反射至目标滤波膜片,且入射角度为目标数值。目标滤波膜片对第二单偏振光进行透射。第二单偏振光的透射光入射至第二可动反射镜141,第二可动反射镜141将该透射光输出至第一偏振合束组件142。第一偏振合束组件142对该透射光进行偏振合束,获得第三偏振合束光,将第三偏振合束光输出至直通输出端。When the second input light passes through the second polarization
这样,第二输入光转变为单偏振光入射至目标滤波膜片,使得第二输入光经过目标滤波膜片时对于同一波长的光滤波带宽相同。而且直通输出端输出的也是偏振合束光,不会影响传输。In this way, the second input light is transformed into single polarized light and enters the target filter film, so that the light filtering bandwidth of the same wavelength is the same when the second input light passes through the target filter film. Moreover, the output of the straight-through output port is also polarized beam combining light, which will not affect the transmission.
此处需要说明的是,在入射角度改变至目标数值后,第一输入光中不包括目标波长的光,所以第一输入光在目标滤波膜片上没有透射。有无第一偏振分束组件113不会影响第一输入光在目标滤波膜片的透射,但是还是设置了第一偏振分束组件113,原因为:由于第一输入光最后直通输出时,会经过第一偏振合束组件142进行偏振合束,所以经过这之前要进行偏振分束。It should be noted here that after the incident angle is changed to the target value, the first input light does not include light of the target wavelength, so the first input light is not transmitted on the target filter film. The presence or absence of the first polarizing
示例性的,同一波长的光的不同偏振态在目标滤波膜片的滤波带宽不相同,为了连续改变上波输入端输入的第二输入光在目标滤波膜片的滤波带宽,光分插复用器还包括第二可动半波片16。该第二可动半波片16设置于第二偏振分束组件134与第三可动反射镜131之间的光路上。Exemplarily, different polarization states of light of the same wavelength have different filtering bandwidths in the target filter film. In order to continuously change the filter bandwidth of the second input light input at the upper wave input terminal in the target filter film, optical add-drop multiplexing The device also includes a second movable half-wave plate 16. The second movable half-wave plate 16 is disposed on the optical path between the second polarization
控制部件控制第二可动半波片16旋转,在第二单偏振光经过第二可动半波片16时,改变第二单偏振光的偏振态。示例性的,在目标滤波膜片的透射波长为目标波长时,控制部件确定目标波长对应的旋转角度,控制部件控制第二可动半波片16旋转该旋转角度。此处控制部件确定旋转角度的方式为:控制部件在旋转角度与波长的对应关系中,确定目标波长对应的旋转角度,该对应关系可以存储在控制部件的内存,或者控制部件可以访问的存储器中。这样,能够通过控制第二可动半波片16旋转,调整第二单偏振光的偏振态,实现滤波带宽的连续可调整。The control component controls the second movable half-wave plate 16 to rotate, and when the second single-polarized light passes through the second movable half-wave plate 16, the polarization state of the second single-polarized light is changed. Exemplarily, when the transmission wavelength of the target filter film is the target wavelength, the control component determines the rotation angle corresponding to the target wavelength, and the control component controls the second movable half-wave plate 16 to rotate the rotation angle. Here, the method for the control unit to determine the rotation angle is: the control unit determines the rotation angle corresponding to the target wavelength in the correspondence between the rotation angle and the wavelength, and the correspondence can be stored in the memory of the control unit or in a memory that the control unit can access . In this way, by controlling the rotation of the second movable half-wave plate 16, the polarization state of the second single polarized light can be adjusted to realize continuous adjustment of the filter bandwidth.
这样,在光分插复用器作为合波器件时,能够自动调整上波波长。而且在自动调整上波波长的过程中,由于设置了全反膜片22,所以能够减少直通输入端的输入光的损失。在调整至目标波长时,设置了目标滤波膜片能够使得上波输入端进行上波处理。而且由于设置了半波片,所以能够连续改变上波输入光在滤波膜片的滤波带宽。In this way, when the optical add/drop multiplexer is used as a multiplexer device, the add wavelength can be automatically adjusted. Moreover, in the process of automatically adjusting the wavelength of the upper wave, since the total reflection film 22 is provided, the loss of the input light passing through the input end can be reduced. When adjusting to the target wavelength, setting the target filter diaphragm can enable the wave-up input end to perform wave-up processing. Moreover, since a half-wave plate is provided, the filtering bandwidth of the up-wave input light on the filter diaphragm can be continuously changed.
需要说明的是,在光分插复用器作为分波器件或合波器件时,在入射角度改变过程中,控制部件控制第一可动反射镜111、第二可动反射镜141同步转动。示例性的,控制部件获取第一可动反射镜111和第二可动反射镜141转动的速率、方向和幅度,按照该速率、方向和幅度对第一可动反射镜111和第二可动反射镜141进行控制。在入射角度改变至目标数值后,第一可动反射镜111、第二可动反射镜141均已转动至对应位置上,不需要再转动。在光分插复用器作为分波器件时,第一控制器13控制第三可动反射镜131将第一输入光在目标滤波膜片的透射光输出至透射输出端即可。在光分插复用器作为合波器件时,第一控制器13控制第三可动反射镜131输入第二输入光即可。示例性的,控制部件获取第三可动反射镜131转动的速率、方向和幅度,按照该速率、方向和幅度对第三可动反射镜131进行控制。It should be noted that when the optical add/drop multiplexer is used as a wavelength splitter or multiplexer, the control component controls the first
另外,在本申请实施例中,还示例性的提供了可动半波片的旋转角度与滤波带宽的关系曲线,参见图31。在图31中,横轴为旋转角度,单位为度,纵轴为滤波带宽,单位为nm。此处滤波带宽为3dB的滤波带宽。In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, a relationship curve between the rotation angle of the movable half-wave plate and the filtering bandwidth is also provided as an example, see FIG. 31 . In FIG. 31 , the horizontal axis is the rotation angle, the unit is degree, and the vertical axis is the filter bandwidth, the unit is nm. Here, the filtering bandwidth is a filtering bandwidth of 3dB.
需要说明的是,在光分插复用器作为分波器件时,光分插复用器的直通输入端、直通输出端和透射输出端均设置有耦合镜,耦合镜连接光纤。直通输入端的耦合镜是为了将第一输入光耦合到光分插复用器中。直通输出端的耦合镜是为了将光分插复用器输出的光耦合到光纤中进行传输。透射输出端的耦合镜是为了将光分插复用器输出的光耦合到光纤中进行传输。It should be noted that when the optical add-drop multiplexer is used as a wavelength-demultiplexing device, the through input end, the through output end and the transmission output end of the optical add-drop multiplexer are all provided with coupling mirrors, and the coupling mirrors are connected to optical fibers. The coupling mirror at the through-input end is for coupling the first input light into the optical add-drop multiplexer. The coupling mirror at the output end of the straight-through is to couple the light output from the optical add-drop multiplexer into the optical fiber for transmission. The coupling mirror at the transmission output end is to couple the light output from the optical add/drop multiplexer into the optical fiber for transmission.
