Abstract

The invention discloses a resolution-adjustable wavelength selection switch based on a phase grating array and a control method. The resolution-adjustable wavelength selection switch comprises a one-dimensional single mode fiber array, a microlens array, a polarization adjusting prism, a double-glued optical Fourier transformation lens, a transmissive phase diffraction grating array, a cylindrical mirror, a liquid crystal spatial light modulator and a graph loading control system. The transmissive phase diffraction grating array is adopted, difference in chromatic dispersivity of transmissive phase diffraction gratings different in period is utilized, and wavelength range of parallel beams finally imaged on the liquid crystal spatial light modulator and wavelength control accuracy determined by a single pixel unit can be changed by switching the transmissive phase diffraction gratings having different periods, so that switching and adjusting of working wavelength range and wavelength resolution of the wavelength selection switch are realized, and the wavelength selection switch can be used for processing large-bandwidth high-speed signals in backbone networks.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical communication and optical signal processing, in particular to a wavelength selective switch with adjustable resolution and a control method thereof based on a transmissive phase grating array. Background technique [0002] Since the beginning of the 21st century, with the continuous and huge growth of optical network traffic at a rate of 100 times in 10 years, the existing electrical layer switching technology has many advantages in terms of the number and volume of equipment, information exchange capacity, construction and operation costs, and energy consumption. The "ceiling effect" has become increasingly prominent. Building a next-generation low-energy and high-spectrum-efficiency intelligent all-optical communication network based on all-optical switching, multi-dimensional multiplexing, high-spectrum utilization super-channel transmission and switching technology, and software dynamic adjustment of ne...
