Description

The optics module
Technical field
Present invention relates in general to a kind of optics module that is used for Wave division multiplexing optical communication technical field and spectral technique field.The optical path that one aspect of the present invention relates in a kind of optics module changes optical system.In addition, another aspect of the present invention relates to a kind of mechanism of closing the optical element of learning module that is used to keep constituting.
Background technology
On the other hand, in the spectral technique field, diffraction grating is widely used in the spectrum of analyzing light in the spectroscopy equipment.Spectral analysis need high-level efficiency be used energy in broadband.Reflection-type diffraction grating is applicable to the high-diffraction efficiency that obtains in the broadband.Because reflection-type diffraction grating has the change ratio of angle of diffraction and wavelength of light preferably, that is to say, wavelength angle distribution character is fine (for example, referring to Tadao Tsuruta, " applied optics 1 " Baifukan Co.Ltd, 1990, p.307), so reflection-type diffraction grating is widely used in the spectroscopy equipment.
In fields such as environment measurement, increase gradually especially for the demand that can be carried to the small-sized spectroscopy equipment that also can measure at the scene the working site.Proposed by utilizing the spectrum of liquid, be used for measuring the spectrum of liquid flow or measuring several Miniature Sensors, and small-sized spectroscopy equipment be used for the environment measurement field as the character of the pH value of liquid at small fluid path.
Be used for the small-sized spectroscopy equipment of these purposes equally, reflection-type diffraction grating as the spectral distribution element to use with the same manner according to the large-scale spectroscopy equipment of correlative technology field.On the whole, catoptron etc. is used to design optical system and reduces with the size that realizes the spectral distribution function.
Diffraction grating also is used in the optical demultiplexer (demultiplexer) in Wave division multiplexing optical communication field.The optical axial that is used to calibrate the optical axial of incident light and diffraction light when reflection-type diffraction grating is near point-blank the time, that is to say, when forming the optical system of so-called Littrow setting (Littrow), (for example can obtain small-sized light demultiplexing module, open referring to international monopoly, the No.99/46638 instructions).
Yet reflection-type diffraction grating has the characteristic that the position relation between incident light and the diffraction light changes sensitively according to the established angle of diffraction grating.For example, as shown in figure 16, incident light 402 scioptics 430 that comprise wavelength components λ 1, λ 2 and λ 3 are calibrated to directional light wire harness 404, then, are incident on the reflection-type diffraction grating 410.Light shafts by diffraction grating 410 according to wavelength with different outward direction diffraction.For example, the angle (angle of diffraction) of the diffraction light wire harness composition of wavelength X 2 between the optic axis 407 of diffraction light wire harness composition and the perpendicular line 405 of drawing from the substrate 412 of diffraction light wire harness is the direction output of β 2.Diffracted ray is converted into so that be incident on the element 420-2, on the photodetector as diffracted ray pick-up unit 420.
Angle (incident angle) α between the optic axis 403 of incident ray and the perpendicular line 405 of drawing from diffraction light wire harness substrate 412 is when this situation changes, and the angle between the optic axis 403 of incident ray and the optic axis 407 of diffracted ray (being used for having in the aforementioned embodiment the angle γ 2 of the diffracted ray of wavelength X 2) also changes.Therefore, need the strict established angle of regulating the relative incident ray of diffraction grating, and the strict installation site of regulating the diffracted ray pick-up unit.But its problem is to be difficult to assembling optics module.
Equally owing to this reason, in the optics module that uses reflection-type diffraction grating, the complex mechanism that is used for regulating each part position need be arranged on the housing of module, or needs to preserve in advance the bonding/fixed space that is used for holding element.Therefore, its problem has been to increase the size of using optics module equipment.
For the optoelectronics field, the development of technology has been brought up to and has been used for part more between the changing device or have an electronic signal transmission/signal Processing of optical signal transmission/treating apparatus.Intermediate conversion device between this Technology Need optical signalling and the electronic signal and be respectively applied for transmission and the signal of processing optical signals and electronic signal transmission and treating apparatus.Therefore, if producing the optical element and the electronic component mixing of these functions is installed on the plank, so that optical signalling and electronic signal both can transmission on same plank, processing and intermediate conversion, then can have many advantages, as the improvement of signal Processing efficient and the minimizing of plant bulk.Mix on the so-called optical/electrical mixed mounting plate of installing at optical element and electronic component, following optical system need be provided, wherein by this Guan Xue system, in light pipe such as optical fiber, optical waveguides etc., propagate, or the light of propagating in the space can receive by being fixed on the automatically controlled survey element of light sheets in the plate, or can be issued to light pipe or main on the spatial light path of conversion portion between optical signalling and the electronic signal from the light that sheet light radiated element emission onboard is installed.
Preferably, from making things convenient for the viewpoint of layout and little installing space, optical fiber, optical waveguides and space optics path are set to so that its optic axis is parallel to plate.On the other hand, the optical element that is used for carrying out intermediate conversion between optical signalling and electronic signal is mounted onboard.Therefore, in optical system with this optics setting, the preferred use has the incident that is parallel to the plate surface and the so-called platy optical element of output surface, so that be parallel to crooked 90 ° of the optical path of plate, so that vertically be connected to the platy optical element that is installed on the described plate.
Though being used to change the angle of optical path can be for acute angle or be not 90 ° obtuse angle, because incide the incident of optical element or have the pitch angle, so this kind situation is brought the efficient of regulating and the situation of difficulty of reducing from the output of optical element.If light will impinge perpendicularly on the optical element or from optical element and send, because the optical path of propagating light can not be parallel with the plank surface, so will increase the complicacy of apparatus structure and increase device size.
Yet, do not need accurately to regulate optical path and change angle to 90 °.Even select far to depart under the situation of angle as the bending angle of design in 90 ° of several years, if the mounting structure of each optical element designs according to described angle, then foregoing problems can not become such actual conditions yet.In the following description, " 90 ° optical paths change " mean that the optical path near 90 ° that comprises with the variation of this several years width changes.
When the reflex time that uses light, can realize that 90 ° of optical paths change.On the whole, can realize (for example, referring to Jap.P. publication number No.2004-85913A) by using level crossing or prism.
In the optical/electrical mixed mounting plate, because the area on the Photoelectric Detection surface of the core diameter of the light shafts diameter that will use, the light pipe that will connect, light sheets electrical detecting element etc. is very little, so the difference a little of optical path will produce very big light losing.For this reason, the angle or the plane precision that are used for established angle, reflecting surface all need higher degree of accuracy, change so that realize 90 ° of optical paths.This just the problem of complicated assembling of needs or manufacture process occurred.

Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the view that shows according to the basic structure of embodiment of the present invention.In the present invention, diffraction optical element is used to change optical path.In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the transmission-type diffraction grating 10 with the periodic grooves (grid) 14 that is formed on the sheet transparency carrier 12 is used for as diffraction optical element.
Under the situation of diffraction grating, the incident angle α at angle between the perpendicular line 1 of drawing as incident light wire harness 50 with from the diffraction grating substrate surface, and output angle (angle of diffraction) β at angle has the relation of representing by following formula between the perpendicular line 1 of drawing as output light shafts (diffraction light wire harness) 52 with from the diffraction grating substrate surface:
sinβ=sinα+Nmλ (1)
Wherein N is the groove number in the diffraction grating, and m is the progression of diffraction, and λ is the wavelength of incident light wire harness.
In order to change 90 ° of optical paths, need satisfy the relation that following formula is represented:
α+|β|=90° (2)
Because expression formula (2) can use sin β=-cos α replaces, so, bring this relation into expression formula (1) so that the groove number N in the diffraction grating can provide by following formula:
N=-(cos α+sin α)/(m λ) (3) that is to say, if the progression m of the diffraction wavelength of incident angle α, specific wavelength λ and use provides according to design load, then the groove number in the diffraction grating can be determined according to expression formula (3).For example, when the incident light wire harness need ° incide on the Difraction surface side of transmission-type diffraction grating with incident angle α=45, the diffraction light wire harness of negative first progression can be from the rear surface of substrate extracts during with angle of diffraction β=-45 °, thereby changes if realize 90 ° of optical paths that the diffraction grating that uses has a number of the groove that expression formula represents.
N = 2 / λ - - - ( 4 )
On the other hand, Figure 14 has shown 90 ° of optical systems with the correlative technology field of the light shafts 454 of acquisition reflection of optical path of using level crossing 440 to be used for crooked incident light wire harness 450.Under the situation of level crossing, need condition α=β=45 ° to be used to realize that 90 ° of optical paths change.
In order to realize above-mentioned optical system, the direction that needs relative incident light wire harness is with angle [alpha] accurately fixed diffraction grating substrate or level crossing.Consider the situation of established angle displacement Δ θ now.
Under the situation of diffraction grating, when the incident angle α of incident light wire harness 50 changed to α shown in Figure 2+Δ θ, the value that the output angle β ' change expression formula (1) of diffraction light wire harness 52 provides that is to say, according to following formula (5):
sinβ′=sin(α+Δθ)+Nmλ (5)
Table 1 has shown the angle between incident angle α+Δ θ, output angle β ' and incident light wire harness and the output light shafts, and when element established angle displacement Δ θ, it calculates by expression formula (5).
By the way, the groove number N in the diffraction grating 10 is set at 900 of every mm, and the alignment light wire harness that will have wavelength X=1570nm is as the incident light wire harness.In the case, if α=| β |=45 °, the then negative first progression diffracted ray bundle (m=-1) satisfies expression formula (4).Under the situation of this diffraction grating, can find that even 3 ° of established angle displacements, optical path changes also can keep 90 °.That is to say that when established angle was in angular extensions alpha ± 3 °, β ' can keep near equaling β-Δ θ.If bending angle allows in 90 ° 4 ± 2 °, then established angle can allow in α ± 5 °.
On the other hand, as shown in figure 15, under the situation of level crossing, when the optic axis of the relative incident light wire harness of established angle during, that is to say, when established angle changes to 45 °+Δ θ from 45 ° of displacement Δ θ, reflection angle from 45 ° of displacement Δ θ, that is to say that also reflection angle also changes to 45 °+Δ θ.As a result, the angle between incident light wire harness and the output light shafts is from 90 ° of displacements, 2 Δ θ.Table 2 has shown the numerical value of the level crossing that calculates at the same manner with the diffraction grating situation that is used for comparison.Can find that when Δ θ equaled 3 °, the quantity of optical path was indexed to 96 °.
In optics module according to the present invention, crooked 90 ° light shafts incide on the photoelectric detector 20.Photoelectric detector 20 can be photoelectric detector, and for example photodiode maybe can be optical fiber.Because incide crooked 90 ° of light shafts on the diffraction grating with incident angle α, so the Photoelectric Detection surface of each photoelectric detector can be arranged on the position of diffraction light wire harness incident.
If Z is the distance from diffraction grating or level crossing to the Photoelectric Detection surface of photoelectric detector 20.For example, when Z equaled 3mm, under the situation of diffraction grating, optic axis can be ignored at the displacement θ of the relative established angle of Photoelectric Detection lip-deep position displacement Δ x, but was issued to 315 μ m in the situation of level crossing.From then on the result can clearly find out, the error in the permission established angle error ratio level crossing in the diffraction grating is a lot of greatly.
Allow the W be the width on effective Photoelectric Detection surface 22 of photoelectric detector 20 as used herein.Effectively the width on Photoelectric Detection surface 22 is the width along the direction of incident light wire harness 50.When the Photoelectric Detection surface is compared relative hour with luminous flux, shown in Figure 3, convergence apparatus 30 preferably is arranged between diffraction grating 10 and the photoelectric detector 20 as lens.As mentioned above, under the situation of diffraction grating, when incident angle displacement Δ θ, the output angle displacement is approaching-Δ θ.Therefore, incide the main shaft displacement-Δ θ of the relative lens of optic axis of the light on the convergence apparatus (lens) 30.When f was the focal length of lens, this light focusing was in distance axis of lens f * tan (Δ θ) position far away.
The position displacement of luminous point must be not more than W/2, so that photoelectric detector, for example the center on effective Photoelectric Detection surface of photodiode can be positioned on the main shaft of lens, and the loss between lens and the photoelectric detector simultaneously can be reduced to the value that is not higher than 3dB.Therefore, when satisfying following formula (6), the loss that is caused by the displacement θ of diffraction grating established angle can be reduced to the value that is not higher than 3dB.
|tan(Δθ)|≤W/(2f) (6)
In addition, under the angular displacement of the reflection ray situation consistent with Δ θ, this relation can be applied to level crossing.
The influence that is caused by the displacement of established angle will describe according to specific embodiment below.
The diffracted ray scioptics can coalescence photoelectric detector (photodiode) by effective Photoelectric Detection surface with 35 μ m * 100 μ m (W=35 μ m) size receive.The focal distance f of convergent lens is 7.96mm.Spot diameter in the best focus position of the light with wavelength X=1570nm is approximately 14 μ m.
Fig. 4 is the relation that shows between the position displacement of the displacement of established angle and luminous point.For the loss between lens and the photodiode is reduced to the value that is not higher than 3dB, under the situation of diffraction grating, the displacement of established angle will be in scope approximately ± 3 °, under the situation of level crossing, greatly in ± 0.07 ° scope.From then on situation can clearly be found out, the permission angular error of diffraction grating is not less than 40 times of permission angular error of level crossing.

Secondly, with the explanation incident ray 4 approaching situations that comprise the directional light wire harness of a plurality of wavelength components.In the case, incident ray 4 is assembled by convergence apparatus 40 by the diffraction grating diffraction, and detects by diffracted ray pick-up unit 20-1,20-2,20-3.
For example, as shown in Figure 5, the incident ray 4 that comprises wavelength components λ 1, λ 2 and λ 3 incides on the transmission-type diffraction grating 10.Light shafts 8 by diffraction grating 10 diffraction send in different directions according to wavelength.For example, the diffraction light wire harness composition of wavelength X 2 is with the output of this direction, so that the angle (angle of diffraction) between the optic axis 7 of diffraction light wire harness composition and the perpendicular line 5 of drawing from the substrate 12 of diffraction grating 10 is β 2.Diffraction light wire harness composition is assembled by the convergent lens 40 for convergence apparatus, and incides as on the corresponding photoelectric detector 20-2 in the photodetector array 20 of diffracted ray pick-up unit.
In the present invention, be used to make the light input media that incides on the optics module near parallel light shafts can be laser beam sources or optical fiber collimator, maybe can be the combination of astigmatic source and collimator lens.Convergence apparatus can be convergence plane mirror or diffraction optical element, rather than convergent lens.If for the diffraction optical element of spectral distribution element itself has converging action, then do not need to provide the convergence apparatus of any special use.The diffracted ray pick-up unit can maybe can be optical fiber for photoelectric detector such as photodiode.
Though for simplicity, Fig. 5 has shown the situation of three wavelength, and incident ray can comprise that a large amount of wavelength components (being not less than two wavelength components) maybe can be for having the light that continuous wavelength distributes.The element of diffracted ray pick-up unit can be provided with according to the needs quantity of passage.
As embodiment, the light that will consider to have wavelength X 1=1550nm, λ 2=1570nm and λ 3=1590nm now incides the transmission-type diffraction grating that every mm has 900 grooves with 45 ° incident angle.Under the situation of this embodiment, expression formula (2) is almost satisfied by wavelength X 2.
Table 3 and Fig. 6 be presented at diffraction grating and as incident ray near the incident ray under the situation of the angle between the directional light wire harness (after this being called " diffraction grating established angle ") displacement predetermined angle subject to the foregoing (α in this embodiment=45 °) and the view at the angle between the diffracted ray.
Can clearly find out from table 3, though the displacement of diffraction grating established angle ± 5 °, under the situation of transmission-type diffraction grating, the change amount at the angle between incident ray and the diffracted ray is not more than 0.3 °.
That is to say, as the collimator of incident light line source and convergent lens and the position relation that is used to receive between the photoelectric detector of diffracted ray keep constant, and irrelevant with the diffraction grating established angle.
On the other hand, at light with wavelength X 1=1550nm, λ 2=1570nm and λ 3=1590nm, identical with the previous embodiment mode, incide under the diffraction grating situation that every mm has 900 grooves with 45 ° incident angles, consider to use the spectrometer optical system of reflection-type diffraction grating shown in Figure 16.Table 4 and Fig. 6 are presented at diffraction grating established angle (α this embodiment=45 °) under the situation of predetermined angle displacement, the view at the angle between incident ray and the diffracted ray.
Can find out clearly that from table 4 when diffraction grating established angle displacement ± 5 °, the change amount at incident ray under the reflection-type diffraction grating situation and the angle between the diffracted ray reaches about 20 °.

In embodiment 1, the transmission-type diffraction grating is used to change optical path.As everyone knows, the transmission-type diffraction grating has the spectral distribution function that shows the different diffraction angle according to wavelength.Therefore, except optical path changes, the embodiment that uses this spectral distribution function will be described also.Fig. 7 shows the situation of using the embodiment 1 of optical system according to the present invention.
Embodiment 1 has shown the demultiplexing module, and it comprises optical fiber 160, collimator lens 132, transmission-type diffraction grating 110, convergent lens 130 and photodetector array 120.
Relative 1550nm wavelength, the plano-convex lens with 4mm diameter and 7.96mm focal distance f is as in collimator lens 132 and the convergent lens 130 each.Have the useful area of 4 * 6mm and the dark groove thin slice diffraction grating of 900 grooves of every mm and be used as diffraction grating 110.Grating is partly used SiO 2And Ta 2O 5As two-layer setting.The width of each groove is approximately 1.45 μ m.Ratio (duty ratio) between the width of each conduit (flue) and the spacing of groove is set at 0.5.Each all has array that the photoelectric detector 122 on effective Photoelectric Detection surface of 35 μ m * 100 μ m sizes is provided with the interval of 200 μ m as photodetector array 120.
The light 51 of the multiplexed wavelength of propagating by optical fiber 160 with 1510nm, 1530nm, 1550nm and 1570nm is exported from fibre-optic end surfaces 160b, and incides on the collimator lens 132.The distance setting of first surface 132a from fibre-optic end surfaces 160b to collimator lens is about 6.21mm.From the light of the second surface 132b of collimator lens output as being provided with near directional light wire harness 53.Directional light wire harness 53 incides on the surface of diffraction grating with about 45 ° incident angle.Output light shafts 54 by diffraction grating 110 diffraction send with different angles according to the substrate surface 110b of wavelength from diffraction grating.
Reflection reduction film (not shown) by the dielectric multilayer film production is arranged on the substrate surface 110b.The output light shafts 54 that incide on the convergent lens 130 are assembled by convergent lens 130, incide respectively on the photoelectric detector 122 of photodetector array 120 according to wavelength then.In the case, the surface of the substrate 124 that photodetector array is mounted thereon that is to say, the Photoelectric Detection surface 122a of photoelectric detector 122 is parallel to the optic axis of optical fiber 160 to be fixed.The distance setting of Photoelectric Detection surface 122a from the second surface 130b of convergent lens to photoelectric detector 122 is about 6.17mm.
