The optical signal after processing is sent to the optical processing unit.

[0052] In some embodiments, the optical processing unit further includes a polarization processing unit, and the polarization processing unit at least includes a polarization conversion unit 203, a first polarization beam splitter 204, and a non-reciprocal polarization rotator 205 (which is a Faraday rotator 2051 and a half-wave plate 2052). Wherein, the polarization conversion unit 203 is used to receive the optical collimation processing optical signal, and decompose the optical collimation processing optical signal into two sub-beams with the same polarization state and parallel; the first polarization beam splitter 204 is used to deflect the propagation direction of the two sub-beams, and the deflected two sub-beams are injected into the non-reciprocal polarization rotator 205 in a positive direction, to obtain two symmetric sub-beams; the thin film band pass filter 206 is used to filter the two symmetric sub-beams, to obtain two first filtered signals with a first preset wavelength, and a mixed filtered signal with a different wavelength from the first filtered signal.

[0053] In some embodiments, the light processing unit further comprises a quarter wave plate 207 and a plane mirror 208; the thin film band pass filter 206 is further configured to reflect the mixed filtered signal, so that the mixed filtered signal passes through the non-reciprocal polarization rotator 205 in a reverse direction, the non-reciprocal polarization rotator 205 is configured to change the polarization direction of the mixed filtered signal to form a first polarization filtered signal; the first polarization filtered signal is made to enter the quarter wave plate 207 and the plane mirror 208 through the first polarization beam splitter 204; the plane mirror 208 is configured to reflect the first polarization filtered signal, so that the reflected first polarization filtered signal is made to enter the quarter wave plate 207, the quarter wave plate is configured to change the polarization direction of the reflected first polarization filtered signal to form a second polarization filtered signal; the first polarization beam splitter 204 is further configured to deflect the propagation direction of the second polarization filtered signal, so that the deflected second polarization filtered signal enters the non-reciprocal polarization rotator 205 in a forward direction and enters the thin film band pass filter 206; the thin film band pass filter 206 is further configured to filter the second polarization filtered signal to obtain two second filtered signals having a second preset wavelength and a residual filtered signal; wherein the first filtered signal and the second filtered signal constitute the filtered signal.

[0054] In some embodiments, the polarization conversion unit 203 is further configured to polarization combine the two first filtered signals and the two second filtered signals respectively to form a first collimated light beam having a first preset wavelength and a second collimated light beam having a second preset wavelength.

[0055] In some embodiments, the light receiving unit comprises at least one light receiving detector 209 and a converging lens 210 corresponding to each light receiving detector 209, each light receiving detector 209 corresponds to a receiving wavelength; the converging lens 210 is configured to converge the first collimated light beam and the second collimated light beam respectively to obtain a converged first collimated light beam and a converged second collimated light beam; a light receiving detector 209-1 corresponding to the first preset wavelength is configured to receive the converged first collimated light beam; a light receiving detector 209-2 corresponding to the second preset wavelength is configured to receive the converged second collimated light beam.

[0056] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application can receive light signals of different arm lengths through light receiving detectors corresponding to different wavelengths, as shown in Figure 2 The embodiments of the present application can receive light signals of wavelengths λ1 to λ4 through four light receiving detectors (e.g., 209-1 to 209-4).

[0057] In some embodiments, the optical transceiver device provided by the embodiments of the present application can be regarded as being composed of four functional modules. The first functional module is a fiber collimation coupling module, which includes an incident fiber 201 and a collimation lens 202. The second functional module is a polarization processing module, which includes a second polarization beam splitter 2031 and a polarization conversion unit 203 composed of a set of half wave plates (HWP) 2032, a first polarization beam splitter 204, a non-reciprocal polarization rotator 205, and a quarter-wave plate (QWP) 207. The third functional module is an optical filtering functional unit, which includes a plane mirror 208 and an optical thin film bandpass filter array 206. The fourth functional module is an optical detection module, which includes an optical receiving detector array 209 and a converging lens array 210.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first polarization beam splitter 204 is further used for transmitting an outgoing remaining filtered signal. Figure 2 In some embodiments, the remaining filtered signal with a wavelength other than λ1 to λ4 is transmitted out through the anti-reflection surface S213 of the first polarization beam splitter 204.

[0059] In some embodiments, the polarization conversion unit 203 includes the second polarization beam splitter 2031 and the half wave plate 2032. The second polarization beam splitter 2031 is used to receive the collimated optical signal and decompose the collimated optical signal into orthogonally polarized ordinary light and extraordinary light. The half wave plate 2032 is used to perform polarization conversion processing on the extraordinary light to obtain converted ordinary light. The ordinary light and the converted ordinary light constitute two parallel sub-beams with the same polarization state.

[0060] In some embodiments, the polarization conversion unit 203 can decompose and convert the incident light with a random polarization state into two linearly polarized beams with the same polarization state, and can also synthesize two linearly polarized beams with the same polarization state into one beam. The second polarization beam splitter 2031 is an optical element for separating linearly polarized beams. Orthogonally polarized beams are transmitted along different optical paths in the second polarization beam splitter 2031. The second polarization beam splitter 2031 can be realized by a polarization beam splitting birefringent crystal with an optical axis parallel to the optical ray main section of the embodiments of the present application.

[0061] In some embodiments, the non-polarized input light enters from the input fiber 201, is collimated by the collimating lens 202, and then enters the birefringent crystal, which decomposes the light into orthogonally polarized ordinary light (S-polarization: the direction of electric field vibration is perpendicular to the incident plane) and extraordinary light (P-polarization: the direction of electric field vibration is parallel to the incident plane) in the main section, and then exits the crystal in parallel with a certain spatial interval. The optical axis of the half-wave plate 2032 is at a 45° angle with the main plane formed by the optical axis of the second polarizing beam splitter 2031 and the light rays. After the linearly polarized light beam passes through the half-wave plate 2032, the polarization is converted, and the P-polarization incident can be converted into S-polarization, and the S-polarization incident can be converted into P-polarization.

[0062] In some embodiments, the half-wave plate 2032 is a set of half-wave plates, as shown in Figure 2 2032-1 to 2032-5.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first polarizing beam splitter 204 includes a plurality of polarizing beam splitting cemented light splitting surfaces (as shown in Figure 2 S202 to S205), one high-reflection surface (as shown in Figure 2 S201), and a plurality of anti-reflection light transmitting surfaces (as shown in Figure 2 S206 to S213). Among them, the cemented light splitting surfaces S202 to S205 are parallel to each other, and the high-reflection surface S201 is perpendicular to them in the main section of the light rays. The cemented light splitting surfaces S202 to S205 are coated with a polarizing beam splitting medium film, which is preferably arranged at a 45° angle, and the cemented light splitting surfaces S202 to S205 transmit P-polarized light and totally reflect S-polarized light. The high-reflection surface S201 totally reflects light of all wavelengths, and the reflected light remains essentially unchanged in polarization state relative to the incident light.

[0064] In some embodiments, the non-reciprocal polarization rotator 205 uses the Faraday optical rotation effect of magneto-optical materials to keep the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light unchanged when it passes in the forward direction, and converts the linearly polarized light into linearly polarized light with an orthogonal polarization state when it passes in the reverse direction.

[0065] In some embodiments, the non-isotropic polarization rotator 205 comprises a Faraday rotator and a half-wave plate. Specifically, 2051 is a Faraday rotator capable of rotating the linear polarization direction clockwise (observed against the direction of the beam directed towards the photodetector module) by 45°, and 2052 is a half-wave plate whose optical axis forms a 67.5° angle with the principal plane formed by the light rays and optical axis of the second polarization beam splitter 2031; or 2051 is a Faraday rotator capable of rotating the linear polarization direction counterclockwise (observed against the direction of the beam directed towards the photodetector module) by 45°, and 2052 is a half-wave plate whose optical axis forms a 67.5° angle with the principal plane formed by the light rays and optical axis of the second polarization beam splitter 2031. The optical axis of the beam splitter 2051 forms a 22.5° angle with the principal plane formed by the light rays and the optical axis of the second polarizing beam splitter 2031; or 2052 is a Faraday rotator that can rotate the linear polarization direction counterclockwise (observed against the direction of the beam directed towards the optical detection module) by 45°; or 2051 is a half-wave plate with the optical axis forming a 22.5° angle with the principal plane formed by the light rays and the optical axis of the second polarizing beam splitter 2031; 2052 is a Faraday rotator that can rotate the linear polarization direction clockwise by 45°.

[0066] In some embodiments, the optical thin-film bandpass filter array 206 is composed of multiple units, such as... Figure 2 In sections 206-1 to 206-4, each unit filter corresponds to the cemented beam-splitting surface of the first polarization beam splitter 204. Each unit filter receives two sub-beams of the same polarization incident at a small angle, transmitting wavelengths within the corresponding channel and reflecting wavelengths outside the channel. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the two sub-beams in the S-polarization state are symmetrically incident on the physical center 206 of the optical thin-film bandpass filter, eliminating the influence of the non-uniformity of the optical thin film surface on the polarization-dependent loss (PDL). Therefore, the optical thin-film bandpass filter array 206 can be directly composed of conventional DWDM filters. Each unit filter of the optical thin-film bandpass filter array 206 has a different filter band, and the center wavelength (λ1 to λ4) of the transmission band corresponds to the output wavelength of the transmitting end of the optical transceiver device in this embodiment. The bandpass filter array 206 can be disposed between the non-isotropic polarization rotator 205 and the polarization conversion unit 203, or between the second polarization beam splitter 2031 and the converging lens array 210.

[0067] In some embodiments, the highly reflective surface of the plane mirror 208 is coated with a single-polarization high-reflection film, which reflects all wavelengths of light, and the polarization state of the reflected light remains basically unchanged relative to the incident light.

[0068] In some embodiments, the light-receiving detector array 209 is an array of multiple discrete detector chips or an array of a single detector chip with multiple detector units. The detector units of the light-receiving detector array 209 correspond to the filter units of the band-pass filter array 206 one-to-one and are arranged in sequence on the back focal plane of the converging lens array 210 for receiving light signals of different wavelengths transmitted by the different filter units.

[0069] In some embodiments, each lens unit of the converging lens array 210 corresponds to a detector unit of the light-receiving detector array 209 one-to-one. The light signals of different wavelengths transmitted by the different filter units of the band-pass filter array 206 are converged by the corresponding lens units of the converging lens array 210 to the corresponding detector units of the light-receiving detector array 209.

[0070] The working principle of the optical receiver device provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the optical schematic diagram of a 4-way parallel optical receiver shown in Figure 2 The arbitrary-polarization light signal containing multiple optical channels of λ1 to λ4 is emitted from the incident fiber 201, collimated by the lens 202, and incident to the polarization conversion unit 203. The polarization conversion unit 203 decomposes the incident light signal into two parallel sub-beams having the same S-polarization state (i.e., ordinary light) and spatially separated. The sub-beams pass through the anti-reflection surface S206 of the first polarization beam splitter 204, are totally reflected on the high-reflection surface S201, the transmission direction is reversed, and are projected on the polarization splitting surface S202 of the first polarization beam splitter 204. The polarization splitting surface S202 reflects the sub-beams of the S-polarization state, and the transmission direction of the sub-beams is reversed again. The reversed beams pass through the anti-reflection surface S206 again, are emitted along the direction of the first time passing through the anti-reflection surface S206, and pass through the non-reciprocal polarization rotator 205 in the forward direction. The two sub-beams of the S-polarization pass through the non-reciprocal polarization rotator 205 in the forward direction without change in the polarization state and symmetrically incident to the physical center of the unit filter 206-1 of the optical thin-film band-pass filter array 206. The unit filter 206-1 transmits the optical wave signals in the λ1 channel and reflects the optical wave signals outside the λ1 channel.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present application, the two optical wave signals of the λ1 channel with the fixed positional relationship transmitted from the unit filter 206-1 continue to transmit, are polarization combined by the polarization conversion unit 203, and form a collimated beam. The collimated beam is converged by the corresponding lens unit 210-1 of the converging lens array, and finally the optical wave signals of the λ1 channel are received by the detector unit 209-1 of the light-receiving detector array.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the light wave signals of the channels other than the λ1 channel reflected from the unit filter 206-1 become P-polarized light again after passing through the non-reciprocal polarization rotator 205 in reverse, and then are incident on the polarization splitting surface S202 of the first polarization beam splitter 204 again. The P-polarized light wave signals of the channels other than the λ1 channel directly transmit through the polarization splitting surface S202, and are directed to the quarter-wave plate 207 and the plane mirror 208.

[0080] ​​​​​In the embodiment of the present application, the light signal of any polarization containing multiple light channels of λ1 to λ4 is collimated by the collimating lens 302 and is incident on the polarization conversion unit 303. The polarization conversion unit 303 decomposes the incident light signal into two parallel sub-beams having the same P-polarization state and being spatially separated. The two P-polarized sub-beams pass through the anti-reflection surface S307 of the first polarization beam splitter 304, are totally reflected on the high-reflection surface S301, and are deflected in the transmission direction. The two P-polarized sub-beams pass through the polarization splitting surfaces S302, S303, S304, and S305 of the first polarization beam splitter 304 in sequence without any obstruction, are reflected by the high-reflection surface S306, and are finally transmitted through the anti-reflection surface S311 of the first polarization beam splitter 304. The two P-polarized sub-beams transmitted through the anti-reflection surface S311 of the first polarization beam splitter 304 pass through the non-reciprocal polarization rotator 305 in the forward direction without any change in the polarization state, and are symmetrically incident on the physical center of the unit filter 306-4 in the optical thin-film bandpass filter array 306. The unit filter 306-4 transmits the light wave signal in the λ4 channel and reflects the light wave signal outside the λ4 channel.

The S-polarized light wave signal outside the λ4 channel and reflected by the polarization splitting surface S305 is again deflected in the transmission direction and is directed to the quarter-wave plate 307 and the plane mirror 308. The plane mirror 308 reflects the light wave signal, and the light wave signal is converted into P-polarized light after passing through the quarter-wave plate 307 again.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, the two light wave signals of the λ3 channel with fixed positional relationship transmitted from the unit filter 306-3 continue to transmit, are polarized and combined by the polarization conversion unit 303 to form a collimated light beam. The collimated light beam is converged by the corresponding lens unit 310-3 of the converging lens array, and finally the light wave signals of the λ3 channel are received by the detection unit 309-3 of the light receiving detector array.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, the light wave signals of the λ3 and λ4 channels reflected from the unit filter 306-3 pass through the non-orthogonal polarization rotator again in reverse, become S-polarized light, and then are incident to the polarization splitting surface S305 of the first polarization beam splitter 304 again. The light path of the light wave signals is reflected and transmitted according to the above rules, and the light wave signals pass through the non-orthogonal polarization rotator 305, the first polarization beam splitter 304, the quarter wave plate 307, the plane mirror 308, the polarization conversion unit 303 and the plurality of unit filters 306 multiple times. The light wave signals of the λ2 and λ1 channels are finally received by the detection units 309-2 and 309-1 of the light receiving detector array respectively. The light wave signals of the channels other than the λ1 to λ4 channels are transmitted out through the antireflection surface S315 of the second polarization beam splitter.
