Abstract

The invention relates to a LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon) optical filter, and belongs to an optical electronic device, which aims at solving the problems of nonuniform defection angle of light beams and low precision in the existing LCOS optical filter. The LCOS optical filter consists of a transmission type diffraction grating, a convex lens, a LCOS panel and a signal control circuit, wherein the transmission type diffraction grating, the convex lens and the LCOS panel are sequentially arranged on an optical path, the signal control circuit consists of a static random memory and a central processing unit, the central processing unit is respectively connected with a line data driver and a row scanning driver of the LCOS panel, a voltage comparison table is stored in the static random storage, and table items of the voltage comparison table comprise liquid crystal unit addresses and corresponding digital voltage codes. The LOCS optical filter has the advantages that the number and the precision of the deflection angles are greatly improved, the length of a center wave and the step length and precision of the bandwidth adjusting are correspondingly and greatly improved, and a function of adjustable bandwidth and center frequency is realized. The LCOS optical filter can be applied to occasions with different requirements in the fields of optical electronics and optical communications, and an on-site programmable property is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to optoelectronic devices and is applicable to the fields of optoelectronics and optical communication. Background technique [0002] The main technical means to realize multi-port tunable optical filters at home and abroad include microelectromechanical system (MEMS) rotating mirror technology, digital micromirror device (DMD) technology, liquid crystal (LC) technology and liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) technology. Liquid crystal on silicon technology can realize high-resolution adjustment steps, so as to realize continuous adjustment of bandwidth and central wavelength, but the current main principle of liquid crystal on silicon to realize beam deflection is based on the principle of beam deflection based on periodic blazed gratings, and the discrete deflection angle β Determined by the following formula: β=sin -1 (λ / Md), where λ is the wavelength of the beam, M is the phase order in one cycle, and d is the width of each phas...
