摘要:
A fiber coupling device comprises fixing parts 1V, to which the respective ends of two optical fibers 5 and 6 are fixed, photonic crystal 2, disposed inside the light path of light that propagates across the abovementioned ends, and external force application means 3, which applies an external force to photonic crystal 2. When an external force is applied by external force application means 3 to photonic crystal 2 while light is being propagated inside one optical fiber 5, the photonic band gap of photonic crystal 2 changes and light of a wavelength that is in accordance with this photonic band gap is output from the other optical fiber 5.
摘要:
When a piezoelectric element 3 applies an external force to a plastic photonic crystal, the photonic crystal deforms, and accordingly, the photonic band gap easily changes. When the photonic band gap changes, transmission of light with a specific wavelength is limited. Therefore, light with a desired wavelength is outputted from the photonic crystal 2 upon sufficient tuning, and extracted to the outside through an output window 6. In the present invention, a plastic photonic crystal 2 which can achieve sufficient wavelength tuning although it is small is used, and elements are unitized, so that the entire wavelength tunable light source unit is downsized.

A photonic crystal 2 with plasticity is arranged by making microspheres of silica or barium titanate or air bubbles be contained in a gel substance. When an external force is applied to this photonic crystal, photonic crystal 2 deforms and the photonic band gap is readily changed thereby. When the photonic band gap changes, the passage of light of a specific wavelength is restricted. Light of a desired wavelength is thus output from photonic crystal 2. With this invention, this wavelength can be varied readily by means of an external force.

An end face 7a of an optical fiber 7 and an end face 8a of an optical fiber 8 are arranged so as to have a predetermined interval and to oppose each other in a V-groove 23 of a base 21. A solution 27 including particles used as a material of the photonic crystal is dropped into a space section 25 which is formed by the end face 7a, the end face 8a, and the V-groove 23. Accordingly, by growing the photonic crystal from each of the end face 7a and the end face 8a, the optical control section including the photonic crystal 2 is formed on each of the end face 7a and the end face 8a.
