Below in conjunction with embodiment and accompanying drawing the Tunable Dispersion Compensator spare based on the liquid crystal array technology of the present invention is made a detailed description.
As shown in Figure 1, Tunable Dispersion Compensator spare based on the liquid crystal array technology of the present invention, be to be arranged in order by light path by optical fiber collimator 11,18, an inclined to one side beam splitter 12, half-wave plate 13, PMD (polarization mode dispersion) compensating plate 14, liquid crystal array 15,16 and total reflection prism 17 formation is set, realization is to the adjustable dispersion compensating of a plurality of passages, described a plurality of passage is the standard channel of ITU-T appointment, or is the passage of centre wavelength with any wavelength in the device working range.Wherein, described optical fiber collimator includes input end collimating apparatus 11 and receiving end collimating apparatus 18, it is the line polarisation that described inclined to one side beam splitter 12 and half-wave plate 13 make the light that incides on the liquid crystal array, and the polarization direction is parallel to the plane that optical axis and incoming signal light constitute; Described total reflection prism 17 eliminate since the reflected signal light that the adjusting liquid crystal array produces in the skew on liquid crystal array surface; The flashlight that 14 pairs of processes of described PMD compensating plate play inclined to one side beam splitter 12 and half-wave plate 13 carries out the PMD compensation.
Described liquid crystal array includes first liquid crystal array 15 and second liquid crystal array 16 that interlaces and be arranged in parallel, and described first liquid crystal array 15 is identical with second liquid crystal array, 16 structures, all has the liquid crystal cells of equal number.
Shown in Fig. 2 (a), described liquid crystal cells includes liquid crystal cells front-reflection face 31, liquid crystal cells back reflection face 32 and the liquid crystal layer 33 between liquid crystal cells front-reflection face 31 and liquid crystal cells back reflection face 32.
Different liquid crystal cells produce different chromatic dispersion compensation quantities, and described chromatic dispersion compensation quantity is to be decided by the surface reflectivity of liquid crystal cells, optical axis direction and refractive index, and when work, the adjusting of chromatic dispersion compensation quantity is to realize by changing optical axis direction.Described each liquid crystal cells surface reflectivity is to have different reflectivity and support 10 degree to decide with the films system of upper angle incident by plating at this liquid crystal cells front-reflection face 31 and liquid crystal cells back reflection face 32.Be coated with one deck on the described liquid crystal cells front-reflection face 31 and support the semi-transparent semi-reflecting film of 10 degree with upper angle incident; Be coated with one deck on the described liquid crystal cells back reflection face 32 and support the high-reflecting film of 10 degree with upper angle incident.The axial change of described each liquid crystal cells surface light is to realize by changing the voltage that loads on the liquid crystal cells.The refractive index of described each liquid crystal cells liquid crystal layer is to be decided by voltage that loads on the liquid crystal cells and selected liquid crystal material.
The total dispersion compensation rate of this Tunable Dispersion Compensator spare is by the chromatic dispersion compensation quantity that each liquid crystal cells the produces acquisition that adds up, the mode that adds up is that light reflects mutually through the liquid crystal cells on 2 parallel liquid crystal arrays successively, and adding up of a chromatic dispersion compensation quantity once just finished in wherein every reflection.
The principle of the Tunable Dispersion Compensator spare based on the liquid crystal array technology of the present invention is as follows: enter input end collimating apparatus 11 after the flashlight that comprises a plurality of wavelength transmits in an optical fiber, flashlight through collimation is divided into two bunch polarisations by an inclined to one side beam splitter 12, and the polarization state of this two-beam is parallel to xz plane and yz plane respectively.Wherein, the flashlight that is parallel to the yz plane through a half-wave plate 13, makes its polarization direction rotate 90 degree and identical with the flashlight polarization direction that is parallel to the xz plane after having left inclined to one side beam splitter.Like this, before inciding 2 parallel liquid crystal arrays, two polarization directions of restrainting flashlights of being played that inclined to one side beam splitter 2 separates all with the xz plane parallel.That a branch of flashlight of process half-wave plate 13 has not passed through a PMD compensating plate 14 simultaneously, and the PMD compensating plate can be a glass sheet here.Because after having passed through inclined to one side beam splitter and half-wave plate 13, the light path of two bundle polarized light processes is different, so here need that short a branch of flashlight of light path is compensated, make that two bundle flashlights optical path difference before inciding liquid crystal array is 0, reduce PMD with this.
Two bundle flashlights at first incide on first liquid crystal cells 21 of first liquid crystal array 15, and reflexed to by first liquid crystal cells 21 on first liquid crystal cells 22 of second liquid crystal array 16, flashlight is reflexed on second liquid crystal cells 23 of first liquid crystal array 15 by first liquid crystal cells 22 of second liquid crystal array 16 more then, by that analogy, through the repeatedly reflection 16 of first liquid crystal array 15 and second liquid crystal arrays, last two bundle flashlights are reflected liquid crystal array by last piece liquid crystal cells of second liquid crystal array 16.
The two bundle flashlights processes that reflect from second liquid crystal array 16 place the total reflection of the total reflection prism 17 of liquid crystal array back to incide liquid crystal array once more, same through the repeatedly reflection between liquid crystal array above being similar to, last two bundle flashlights are reflected liquid crystal array by first liquid crystal cells, the 21 former roads of first liquid crystal array 15.
Once reflexed on the half-wave plate 13 by liquid crystal array once more through a branch of flashlight of half-wave plate 13, its polarization direction rotated once more 90 degree and with the yz plane parallel.Once a branch of flashlight through PMD compensating plate 14 was reflexed on the PMD compensating plate 14 by liquid crystal array once more, in advance light path was compensated.The two bundle flashlights that incided inclined to one side beam splitter this moment all are the line polarisations, and the polarization direction is orthogonal.Passed through the light that closes of inclined to one side beam splitter, the mutually perpendicular flashlight in two bundle polarization directions has been synthesized a branch of flashlight identical with the incoming signal polarization state, enters optical fiber through receiving end collimating apparatus 18 then.
The Principles of Regulation of single liquid crystal cells can be realized by following mode: shown in Fig. 2 (a), liquid crystal cells front-reflection face 31 is coated with the semi-transparent semi-reflecting film that one deck is supported the above wide-angle incident of 10 degree, the size of semi-transparent semi-reflecting film reflectivity directly has influence on the chromatic dispersion compensation quantity of this liquid crystal cells, and reflectivity can be 20% here.Liquid crystal cells back reflection face 32 is coated with the high-reflecting film that one deck is supported the above wide-angle incident of 10 degree, and the reflectivity of this layer high-reflecting film will can be 99.5% as far as possible near 100% here.Instinct liquid crystal material in the liquid crystal layer 33 of liquid crystal cells can be nematic liquid crystal E44 here.When the voltage that is carried between liquid crystal cells front-reflection face 31 and the liquid crystal cells back reflection face 32 is V 1The time, the optical axis direction of liquid crystal (long axis direction) is parallel to reflecting surface, and this moment, incoming signal light was 34, and reflected signal light is 35.When the voltage that is carried between liquid crystal cells front-reflection face 31 and the liquid crystal cells back reflection face 32 becomes V 2The time, because electro-optic birefringent effect, the optical axis direction of liquid crystal (long axis direction) will deflect around the y axle, and this moment, incoming signal light was 34, and reflected signal light has become 36.
For single liquid crystal array, its phase function is
ψ ( r , ΔOPL ) = - 2 arctan ( 1 - r 1 + r tan ( π λ ΔOPL ) )
Wherein r is the reflection coefficient of liquid crystal front-reflection face, and Δ OPL is that the time delay function of two optical path difference liquid crystal cells between the reflecting surface is
τ = dψ ( r , ΔOPL ) dω
The chromatic dispersion function of liquid crystal cells is
D = dτ dλ = - λ 2 2 πc dψ ( r , ΔOPL ) dλ
Optical path difference wherein
ΔOPL=nd?cos(θ)+n′dcos(θ′)
As seen, the chromatic dispersion of liquid crystal cells depends primarily on the reflection coefficient r of liquid crystal cells front-reflection face, the effective refractive index n and the n ' of liquid crystal material, the long d in the chamber of liquid crystal cells and light angle θ and θ '.Because liquid crystal is a kind of anisotropic material, so light is propagated birefringent phenomenon can take place in liquid crystal.Because the existence of birefringent phenomenon is arranged, and when the optical axis direction of liquid crystal changes, the angle θ of the non-ordinary light in the liquid crystal and effective refractive index n will change.
Shown in Fig. 2 (b), when incoming signal light 34 incided on the liquid crystal cells, because the polarization direction of incoming signal light 34 is parallel to the xz plane, incoming signal light 34 was exactly non-ordinary light concerning liquid crystal cells, when the voltage that is carried on the liquid crystal cells is V 1The time, the optical axis of liquid crystal is parallel with the z axle, and this moment, the non-ordinary light effective refractive index from first reflecting surface to the second reflecting surface direction was n 1, light angle is θ 1, the non-ordinary light effective refractive index from second reflecting surface to the first reflecting surface direction is n 2, light angle is θ 2So optical path difference is Δ OPL=n 1Dcos (θ 1)+n 2Dcos (θ 2).When the voltage that is carried in liquid crystal cells by V 1Become V 2The time, because the optical axis of liquid crystal has rotated an angle around the y axle, this moment, the non-ordinary light effective refractive index from first reflecting surface to the second reflecting surface direction was n 1', light angle is θ 1', the non-ordinary light effective refractive index from second reflecting surface to the first reflecting surface direction is n 2', light angle is θ 2', so optical path difference is Δ OPL=n 1' dcos (θ 1')+n 2' dcos (θ 2').As seen be carried in the optical axis direction that voltage on the liquid crystal cells changes liquid crystal cells by change, just can change optical path difference Δ OPL, thereby realize control the liquid crystal cells chromatic dispersion.As shown in Figure 3, be respectively V when the voltage that is carried in liquid crystal array 1, V 2The time, skew has taken place in dispersion curve.
Whenever flashlight reflects once on a liquid crystal cells, its chromatic dispersion just by this liquid crystal cells compensation once, when the flashlight order successively through 2 liquid crystal arrays on the reflection of liquid crystal cells, its chromatic dispersion that is compensated is quite whole chromatic dispersion sums of producing of liquid crystal cells just.If each liquid crystal cells all adds the voltage of an appointment, just can control the dispersion compensation curve that whole liquid crystal cells produces an appointment, and the shape of this dispersion compensation curve can change, the position also can be offset, and has so just realized the adjustable dispersion compensating function of any centre wavelength.As shown in Figure 4, the dispersion compensation curve that a plurality of liquid crystal cells are combined into, wherein (a) is the curve of control chromatic dispersion compensation quantity, (b) is the curve of control chromatic dispersion compensation quantity centre wavelength.
As shown in Figure 2, when changing chromatic dispersion by voltage, because the change of non-ordinary light light angle θ, original reflected signal light 35 through the liquid crystal cells reflection has become 36, make the reflected signal facula position produce a skew, and after repeatedly reflecting, this skew is increasing through stack, and can change along with the change in voltage that is carried in liquid crystal cells.In order to eliminate this skew, can add a reflection unit in the back of liquid crystal array, this reflection unit can be a total reflection prism 17 here.Total reflection prism makes the flashlight that reflects liquid crystal array return liquid crystal array with same direction, because the former road of flashlight is returned, skew is eliminated, shown in Fig. 1 (a).Simultaneously, this reflection unit also makes flashlight produce a translation on the y direction, through the flashlight after the translation through the reflection of 2 liquid crystal arrays and rise inclined to one side beam splitter close light after incide the receiving end collimating apparatus, shown in Fig. 1 (b).
