Abstract

The invention discloses a three-port optical circulator, comprising a first port, a second port and a third port and used for transmitting light incident from the first port to the second port and transmitting light incident from the second port to the third port. The optical circulator further comprises a polarization conversion module, a nonreciprocal polarization optical rotation module, a polarization beam splitter prism and a reflection prism. Compared with the prior art, a reflection-type folded optical path is adopted; and compared with a traditional optical isolator, the optical circulator has the advantages of being shorter and smaller in boundary dimension, simple in optical path structure, easy to manufacture in batches and higher in isolation degree in design, and further meetsapplication requirements on a single-fiber bidirectional transmission module in the field of digital communication.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical fiber communication, in particular to a three-port optical circulator. Background technique [0002] The optical circulator is a very important non-reciprocal optical passive device with multi-port input and output in the optical fiber communication system. The characteristics of transmission and reverse sequence isolation can complete the separation of forward and reverse transmission light, so single-fiber bidirectional transmission systems, dense wavelength division multiplexers based on fiber gratings, optical amplifiers, optical time domain reflectometers, and optical fiber sensors It has a wide range of applications in traditional fields such as fiber optic testing and testing. [0003] With the advent of the big data era, the high-speed optical interconnection of data centers has gradually become the main growth point of the optical communication market. In data center applications, single-fiber bi...
