摘要:
An optical reflector, an optical multiplexer/demultiplexer device and an optical system which can allow more flexible arrangement of an optical filter thereof, and enhance performance of wavelength division multiplexing communication thereof are provided.An optical reflector according to the present invention comprises a first and second optical fiber 14, 16, each being connected to one side of an optical propagating region such as a rod lens 12 causing optical strength distributions depending on respective wavelengths of lights to be propagated in the optical propagating region; a mirror 18 disposed on the other side of the optical propagating region; and an optical filter 20 disposed between the first and second optical fibers 14, 16 and the mirror 18. The optical filter 20 is reflected a light having a first wavelength and allows another light having a second wavelength to be transmitted therethrough; and the mirror 18 is reflected the light having the second wavelength, so that the lights having the first and second wavelengths are propagated between the first optical fiber 14 and the second optical fiber 16.
摘要:
An optical waveguide structure has a single port on one input/output side, a plurality of ports on another input/output side and an S-curve optical waveguide portion arranged on the outermost side of the waveguide structure and including a first circular arc optical waveguide portion and a second circular arc optical waveguide portion connected thereto. The waveguide portion also has a third circular arc optical waveguide portion extending from a first splitting/coupling point side in the first circular arc waveguide portion toward the plural/ports side and having a curvature inverted relative to the first circular arc optical waveguide portion. At the first splitting/coupling point, a tangential line of the first circular arc optical waveguide portion and a tangential line of the third circular arc optical waveguide portion are parallel to and spaced from each other.
摘要:
The present invention provides an optical system with waveguides, which comprises first, second and third optical input/output means (12, 14, 16), fourth and fifth multi-mode optical waveguides (20, 22) each capable of propagating light with plural propagation modes, and optical-filter mounting means (26) for mounting an optical filter (24) between the fourth and fifth multi-mode optical waveguides (20, 22) across a traveling direction of light in the fourth and fifth multi-mode optical waveguides (20, 22). The first optical input/output means (12) is connected to an end face of the fourth multi-mode optical waveguide (20) on a side thereof opposite to the optical-filter mounting means (26). Each of the second and third optical input/output means (14, 16) is connected to an end face of the fifth multi-mode optical waveguide (22) on a side opposite to the optical-filter mounting means (26). Respective widths in a direction orthogonal to the light-traveling direction of the fourth and fifth multi-mode optical waveguides (20, 22) are different from each other.
