Abstract

PURPOSE:To accomplish the function of an optical multiplexer/demultiplexer and a directional coupler and to miniaturize an entire system by providing a tapered area formed by bundling three single mode optical fibers, heating the specified position of the bundle of the optical fibers and extending the optical fiber in an axial direction. CONSTITUTION:Three single mode optical fibers 11-13 are arranged in parallel and bundled. The near center part of the fibers is heated so that the respective clads of the respective optical fibers are thermally fused one another and the fused part is extended in the axial direction of the optical fiber to form the tapered area. Then, the light beam of 1st wavelength and the light beam of 2nd wavelength are inputted in a 1st input end 12a. The light beams are distributed and coupled in the optical fiber. However, since the complete coupling length is different between the 1st wavelength and the 2nd wavelength, only the light beam of the 1st wavelength is outputted from a 1st output end 12b by controlling the length of the tapered area in the axial direction and fused shape, and the light beam of the 2nd wavelength is outputted from 2nd and 3rd output ends 11b and 13b. Thus, the optical fiber coupler is allowed to have the function of the optical multiplexer/demultiplexer and the directional coupler.

In the figure, the first wavelength λ input from the first input terminal 12a
1. The light with the second wavelength λ2 is distributed and coupled between the optical fibers 12 and 13, but since the complete coupling length is different between λ and λ2, the axial length of the tapered waist portion 14 and the fusion bond are different. Due to the shape, λ1 and λ2 are separated on the tapered waist portion.

Further, since the optical fibers 11.13 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the optical fiber 12, the same type of output light can be obtained from the second output end 11b and the third output end 13b. Therefore, if only the light of λ is outputted from the first output end 12b, the light of λ2 is equally emitted from the second and third output ends 11b and 13b.

In order to allow only the light of λ1 to be emitted from the first output end 12b, a band pass filter that transmits λ1 and a photodetector are connected to the first output end 12b. Then, when forming the tapered waist portion 1A, that is, when heating and stretching the optical fiber, the first wavelength λ1 and the second wavelength λ1 are input to the first input end 12a.
Light of wavelength λ2 is made incident. At this time, while adjusting the heating temperature and time, the length of the taper waist portion and the fused shape of the cladding are controlled so that the optical power passing through the band-pass filter is the incident optical power of λ1.

It is possible to realize an optical fiber coupler in which only the light of λ2 is output from the second and third output ends.

The optical fiber coupler of the present invention has the function of splitting two input lights and outputting each wavelength of light from a predetermined output end, so the optical fiber coupler is connected to each optical transmitter and optical receiver. This eliminates the need for conventional optical multiplexer/demultiplexers and directional couplers.

Also, λ1. The wavelength of λ2 can be easily manufactured by using the 1.5 μm band or the 1.3 μm band, which are often used as light sources, and since both wavelength bands are appropriately spaced, good characteristics can be obtained. The arrangement of each optical fiber in the optical fiber coupler of the present invention is not limited to that shown in FIG. For example, three optical fibers may be arranged as shown in FIG. If we take the optical fiber arrangement as shown in Figure 2,
The taper waist portion 14 makes it difficult for core deformation of each optical fiber to occur, further improving the demultiplexing characteristics.
