Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical communication technology, and more specifically to an optical communication splitting system based on a filter. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of PON services in optical communication and the increasing demand for higher transmission rates, the need for 50GPON OLTs is becoming more urgent. The 50GPON OLT tri-mode solution adapts to the transmission needs of optical networks, offering greater integration and compatibility. 1270±10nm, 1286±2nm, and 1310±20nm are the receiving wavelengths of the 50GPON OLT tri-mode solution. The upper limit of 1270nm is 4nm away from the lower limit of 1286nm, and the upper limit of 1286nm is 2nm away from the lower limit of 1310nm. These short wavelength distances make effective splitting of these three wavelengths at the receiving end a crucial issue for 50G technology.

[0003] In existing methods, the three wavelengths at the receiving end are split using Z-Block, and the optical path is deflected by a filter after splitting. However, since Z-Block is sensitive to angle, the light may not be separated from the Z-block, thereby reducing the product yield. Furthermore, this solution is difficult for mass production.

[0052]

[0053] In one embodiment of this invention, the converged light of three wavelengths received from the ferrule is converted into parallel light by the first lens 1. The received parallel light is reflected by the first filter 4 to separate the main beam. The first filter 4 includes, but is not limited to, 8°, 10°, and 13° (the first filter 4 has high transmission for 1310nm and high reflection for 1270nm and 1286nm), first separating the 1310nm wavelength. The 1286nm and 1270nm light reflected by the first filter 4 is then passed through the second filter 6 (the second filter 6 has high transmission for 1286nm and high reflection for 1270nm), separating the 1286nm wavelength. The separated 1286nm light passes through the second reflector 7, enters the second lens 2, and then enters the APD. The 1270nm light reflected by the second filter 6 passes through the first reflector 5, enters the fourth lens 9, and then enters the APD. The 1310nm light passes through the third reflector 8, enters the third lens 3, and then enters the APD.

[0054] This invention proposes an optical communication splitting system based on filters. By introducing filters that transmit and reflect different wavelengths, it achieves effective light splitting, solving the problem of insufficient coupling space and ensuring single-wavelength bandwidth. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and helpful for mass production.
