Abstract

The invention relates to an all fiber delay line selector switch based on an acousto-optic function. The all fiber delay line transfer switch basically comprises a wedge ultrasonic transducer and a plurality of groups of acousto-optic voice path couplers, wherein the acousto-optic voice path couplers are sequentially connected and adopt ultrasonic drive. The all fiber delay line transfer switch has the advantages that the transfer of a single wavelength signal among different delay line output channels is realized by the all fiber structure; the cost is low, the response time is short, the insertion loss is small, the spectrum width is large, the structure is compact, and the number extension of delay lines is easy.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a novel multi-channel all-fiber multi-channel optical switch based on acousto-optic interaction, which belongs to the field of optical communication and optical information processing. Background technique

[0002] In the fields of optical communication and optical information processing, delay lines play a vital role [1], such as participating in signal transmission and modulation in optical sensing and measurement systems, realizing signal encoding and buffering in optical fiber communication systems, and in optical fiber communication systems. The precise control and phase distribution of microwave signals are realized in the optically controlled phased array radar system. Delay lines generally include fiber optic delay lines, surface acoustic wave delay lines, charge-coupled device delay lines, coaxial cable delay lines, magnetostatic wave delay lines, and superconducting delay lines [2-5]. Among them, the fiber delay line...
