Embodiment 1
[0044] see Figure 4 , this embodiment proposes an optical waveguide mode converter that improves the transmission characteristics of the optical waveguide. The converter includes a single-mode optical fiber (1), a section of coreless optical fiber with a ball lens (2) and a rectangular optical waveguide (3), and the end face of the single-mode optical fiber (1) is connected with a section of coreless optical fiber with a ball lens (2) , keep an effective distance L between the end face of the optical waveguide (3) and the ball lens 2 . The axial centers of the single-mode optical fiber (1), the axial centers of the coreless optical fiber (2) and the optical waveguide (3) are kept on the same horizontal straight line. Its working principle: almost all the optically transformed Gaussian beams are coupled into the fundamental mode of the optical waveguide, which can not only reduce the scattering loss of the optical waveguide due to roughness, but also solve the problem of mod...
Embodiment 2
[0046] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, and the special features are as follows:
[0047] The mode converter parameter is, the length of the coreless fiber (2) is L 1 , the radius of the fiber optic ball is R, and the refractive index of the ball lens material is n 1 , the distance between the end face of the optical waveguide (3) and the ball lens is L 2 , the refractive index of the gap material between the ball lens and the optical waveguide (3) is n 2 , n 1 >n 2 , the value range of the parameter: L 1 200-236μm, R is 125-140μm, L 2 It is 947-1200μm.
[0048] join Image 6 , the coreless fiber with ball lens is packaged into a specially designed adapter (4), the width of the adapter is greater than 2 times the radius R of the ball lens, the incident end of the adapter has a stepped groove (5), and the size of the groove is the same as The size of the fiber jumper matches, so that the flat end of the fiber ball and the output end of the fiber ju...
