Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the quantity of reflected-back light from the incidence face of a lens and that of a fiber and to realize a high coupling efficiency by setting the pitch of the converging rod lens to a specific length or shorter. CONSTITUTION:If the pitch of a converging rod lens 8 attached to a semispherical lens 7 is set to <=0.22, magnifications of a coupling system are >=2 even when a length l1 between a semiconductor laser 6 and the lens 8 is set to >=0.8mm., and a length l2 between the exit face of the lens and the incidence face of a fiber 9 is >=4mm.. The quantity of reflected-back light from the incidence face of the lens is held down to <=-70dB because the length l1 is >=0.8mm.; and even if the angle of oblique polishing of the fiber 9 is set to a small value <=13 deg., the reflected-back light on the incidence face of the fiber is prevented from being incident to the lens 7 again because the length l2 is >=4mm.. Since magnifications of the coupling system are >=2 and the angle of oblique polishing of the fiber is <=13 deg., a high coupling efficiency is attained.

Structure of a conventional example and its problems FIG. 1 shows a conventional laser module device. The configuration of this conventional example will be explained below with reference to FIG. 1. In Figure 1, ``■'' is a semiconductor laser, and the light emitted from this semiconductor laser J is focused by a composite lens consisting of a hemispherical lens 2 and a 0.25 pitch focusing rod lens 3 bonded together. The entrance surface of the fiber 4 is installed at the light condensing point. The input end face of the fiber 4 is obliquely polished to prevent the reflected light there from entering the combining lens again and returning to the laser active layer of the semiconductor laser j. 5 is a semiconductor laser 1. This is the optical axis along which the central axes of the lenses 2 and 3 and the central axis of the fiber are arranged. The hole is a pyramid between the semiconductor laser 1 and the composite lenses 2 and 3, and the stone 2 is the distance between the lens exit surface and the convergence point of the light beam.

For example, a hemispherical lens 2 with a refractive index of 15 and a diameter of 20 mm has a refractive index of 1.6 at the central axis, and as it goes from the central axis to the outer periphery, the refractive index decreases with a square distribution with a convergence constant of 0 and 295 mm-1. In order to achieve a magnification of 2 times or more with a composite lens in which a focusing rod lens 3 with a diameter of 20mm and a pitch length of 025 is glued, the above p1 must be approximately 0.6 mm or less, as shown in curve 4 in Fig. 4.

However, when pl is 0.6 mm or less, as shown in the curve in FIG. If the length of the fiber 2 is as short as 3 mm, as shown in FIG. 6, in order to eliminate the amount of reflected light returning from the fiber entrance surface to the semiconductor laser 1, it is necessary to perform oblique polishing at an angle of about 16°. As the polishing angle increases, the coupling efficiency of the coupling system decreases, so in the end, in a composite lens in which a focusing rod lens 3 with an o, 25 pitch and a hemispherical lens 2 are glued together,

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention makes the pitch of the focusing rod lens to which the hemispherical lens is attached less than 0.20, and the distance between the semiconductor laser and the lens is reduced to 0.20 or less. Even if , is set to 0,8 mm or less, the magnification of the coupling system is more than double, and the effect that the distance 2 between the lens exit surface and the fiber input surface becomes 4 mm or more is avoided! ). 0.8 mm
With the above, the amount of reflected light from the lens entrance surface can be suppressed to a value of about -7 QdB or less, and since 12 is 4 mm or more, even if the diagonal polishing angle of the fiber is small, the amount of light reflected back from the lens entrance surface can be suppressed to a value of about -7 QdB or less. It is possible to prevent the reflected and returned light from entering the lens again. Furthermore, since the magnification of the coupling system is 2 times or more and the oblique polishing angle of the fiber is small, high coupling efficiency can be obtained. In this way, by setting the pitch of the convergent rod lens to which the hemispherical lens is attached to 0.22 or less, (a) the amount of reflected return light from the lens entrance surface is reduced, and (1) the amount of reflected return light from the fiber entrance surface is reduced. It is possible to construct a coupling system that simultaneously satisfies the three requirements of reduction and (C) high coupling efficiency.Description of an Embodiment Below, the structure of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
