Abstract

An optical tapping multiplexer of the bulk holo-grating of LiNbO3 crystal includes an optical wave separating multiplexer consisting of a single block of dual-doped LiNbO3 crystal and several bulk holo-grating recorded therein, and a set of electro-optic switches in wholly inner reflection, which consists of several LiNbO3 crystal with electrodes in structure of single block. The design of the optical tapping multiplexer with 0.8 nm interval of wavelength is provided. The channel of wavelength requiring up-line and down-line can be selected dynamically through controlling the states of each electro-optical switches, achieving arbitrary wavelength signals for up-line and down-line. The invention has following advantages: simple structure, convenient adjustment, reliable operation and environmental interference resistance, so that it has a fine prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to optical communication network technology, in particular to a double-doped lithium niobate LiNbO 3 The optical add-drop multiplexer of crystal volume holographic grating is suitable for realizing channel separation, transmission, switching and multiplexing of wavelength division multiplexing signals at the optical layer. Background technique [0002] An optical add-drop multiplexer (hereinafter referred to as OADM) is an essential and important device in an optical communication network. The function of the OADM node is to select the signal leading to the local user in the underground (drop) channel from the transmission system, and at the same time add (add) the signal sent by the local user to another node user. The adding and dropping cannot affect other wavelengths at the same time. channel transmission. The basic principle of the optical add-drop multiplexer is: the wavelength division multiplexed optical signal is first ...
