Embodiment 1

[0066] The multi-beam splitter provided by the present invention, such as figure 1 (a). The cross section of the optical waveguide is a square, that is, an equilateral polygon with the number of sides L=4. The optical waveguide is a solid optical waveguide, and both ends of the optical waveguide are coated with high antireflection films. During operation, the beam to be split is at an acute angle with the main axis of the optical waveguide, and is incident from one end of the optical waveguide. The incident angle of the incident light beam on the side surface is greater than the total reflection angle, so that total reflection is formed on the side surface of the optical waveguide.

[0067] The beam is reflected multiple times in the multi-beam splitter, passes through the beam splitter in a spiral shape, exits from the other end of the beam splitter, and is evenly divided into multiple parts, such as figure 1 (b) shown.

[0073] The multi-beam splitter provided by the present invention, such as figure 2 (a). The cross section of the optical waveguide is a regular heptagon, that is, L=7, the optical waveguide is a hollow optical waveguide, and the inner wall of the optical waveguide is coated with a total reflection film.

[0074] When working, the beam to be split is at an acute angle with the main axis of the optical waveguide, and is incident from one end of the optical waveguide. The light beam after starting is reflected multiple times on different sides of the optical waveguide in the interior of the optical waveguide. Since the inner wall of the optical waveguide is coated with a total reflection film, it can be approximated that the light beam is completely reflected.

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-beam splitter. The multi-beam splitter is characterized in that the multi-beam splitter is a cylindrical optical waveguide, the cross section of the optical waveguide is an equilateral polygon, and the number of sides is L; in work, an angle formed by a beam to be split and a main shaft of the optical waveguide is an acute angle, the beam enters from one end of the optical waveguide, the entering beam is fully reflected multiple times through different side faces of the optical waveguide in the optical waveguide, and finally the beam is evenly split into multiple sub beams outgoing from the other end of the optical waveguide. The multi-beam splitter is simple in structure, even in split beam, particularly capable of achieving even beam splits of odd number parts, small in optical loss and capable of being reused and applied to the fields of optical communication, optical detection and the like.
