Abstract

The invention provides a reflection-type optical attenuator. The reflection-type optical attenuator comprises an input optical fiber, a lens, a reflecting mirror and an output optical fiber, and further comprises a diaphragm arranged between the lens and the reflecting mirror, the diaphragm is used for partially covering optical waves, the covered energy of the optical waves with large wave lengths is more than that of the optical waves with small wave lengths so that the aim of reducing the WDL of the optical attenuator can be achieved. The diaphragm is arranged between the lens and the reflecting mirror of the optical attenuator, the diaphragm is used for covering part of the optical waves, the covered energy of the long waves is more than that of the short waves, and therefore the coupling efficiency of the long waves and the coupling efficiency of the short waves are close or equal, and the WDL is effectively compensated. In addition, due to the fact the method of adding chromatic dispersion is prevented from being adopted, the caused problems of film plating difficulty and PDL increasing are avoided, and therefore on the premise of not increasing the film plating difficulty and not deteriorating PDL indexes, the WDL indexes in the optical power attenuation process are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber communication, more specifically, to a reflective optical attenuator and a method for attenuating the power of light waves. Background technique [0002] In the optical fiber communication system, there are many scenarios that need to reduce the power of the optical signal, such as: the optical receiver is very sensitive to the overload of the optical power, the input power must be controlled within the input range of the optical receiver to prevent its saturation; the front of the optical amplifier The balance between the input power of different channels can prevent the input power of one or some channels from being too large and the gain saturation of the optical amplifier. [0003] The optical attenuator can attenuate the expected power of the optical signal according to the user's requirements. Optical attenuators include mechanical optical attenuators, magneto-optical attenuators, MEM...
