Embodiment Construction

[0018] In the micromirror array type high-port optical switch, the beam alignment of the fiber collimator array becomes a key process link in the device manufacturing. After alignment, the optical signal output from any port of the input collimator array is required The mirror can be coupled into the exit collimator array after reflection. The optical alignment of the array mainly includes the following processes (such as Figure 4 shown):

[0019] 1. Make a collimator array, such as Figure 4 I or II in , so that the outgoing beams are equally spaced and parallel;

[0020] 2. Fix I, clamp A' in II in the fastening clip of the adjustment device, and align the A and A' ports in the two collimator arrays of collimator array I and II;

[0021] 3. Without changing the position of the collimator array I, rotate and adjust the collimator array II with the light beam of A' as the axis, so that the insertion loss values ​​of all ports can be minimized.

[0022] It can be seen from...

Abstract

The invention discloses an optical fiber collimator array alignment regulating device, including slide blocks in three translational directions: top-bottom, left-right and front-back on the slip base, and also rotation regulating module composed by placing a small sleeve through the center and with fastening clamp of the optical fiber collimator in a big sleeve, the framework of the rotary module is installed with the first swing regulating module, there are the first and second swing regulating modules installed on the top of and at the bottom of the first connecting board, respectively, the two ends of the second connecting board are connected with the second swing regulating module and Z-direction translational slide block, respectively. It implements six resolved regulating freedoms by 6 independent regulating knobs. It can be widely applied to optical alignment regulation between optical fiber collimators and between their arrays in optical communication device packaging field.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for adjusting optical elements, in particular to an alignment adjustment device for an optical fiber collimator array. Background technique [0002] Fiber collimator is an optical passive device, which is precisely positioned by pigtail and self-focusing lens. It can convert the transmitted light in the fiber into collimated light (parallel light), or couple parallel (approximately parallel) light from the outside into the fiber. In various optical communication devices, the optical path coupling using fiber collimator is a very common coupling method, and its coupling efficiency and adjustment speed have a direct impact on the insertion loss and packaging efficiency of the device. At present, five-dimensional optical adjustment frames are mostly used in China for optical alignment. [0003] Using a five-dimensional optical adjustment frame (such as Figure 5 Shown) for optical adjustment, the fiber collimator is pla...
