The invention relates to the technical field of
optical communication, in particular to a multi-
core optical fiber fan-in and fan-out device and a
processing method thereof. The multi-
core optical fiber fan-in and fan-out device comprises a multi-
core optical fiber insertion core piece, a multi-core
optical fiber, a plurality of single-core optical fibers and a plurality of three-dimensional miniature
optical path elements. A plurality of
optical fiber channels are arranged in the multi-core
optical fiber insertion core part, the multi-core optical
fiber and the single-core optical fibers are inserted into the optical
fiber channels respectively, and the end faces of one ends of the multi-core optical
fiber and the single-core optical fibers extend out of the optical fiber channels; each fiber core of the multi-core optical fiber is connected with the fiber core of each single-core optical fiber through the three-dimensional micro
optical path element, and optical
interconnection between the fiber core of the multi-core optical fiber and the fiber core of the single-core optical fiber is realized through the three-dimensional micro
optical path element, so that a fan-in and fan-out function is realized; the three-dimensional micro optical path element is directly processed on the end face of each fiber core in a two-
photon polymerization processing mode. According to the fan-in and fan-out device provided by the invention, the loss of each channel is uniform, secondary
coupling alignment is not needed, the
processing difficulty is low, and the efficiency is high.
