The invention relates to a
collimator and a preparation method, belongs to the technical field of
optical communication, and is in particular relates to a two-dimensional array
collimator based on a total reflection
prism and a preparation method of the two-dimensional array
collimator.
Optical fiber arrays of all
layers are stacked and bonded to form an
optical fiber array body after the
focal length of each layer of the
optical fiber arrays is consistent with the
focal length of each layer of the
lens array, and then the uniformity index of the line degree of each layer of the
lens array relative to each layer of the
optical fiber array is adjusted, and each layer of the optical
fiber array is independently packaged on a
lens array fixing frame to form an optical
fiber array front body.A one-dimensional
standard array collimator is aligned with the middle layer debugging line degree and the center of an array collimator front body and then is fixed after moving the interval. The total reflection
prism is packaged and fixed to the emergent end of the optical
fiber array front body after being aligned with the debugging line degree and the center of the
standard array collimator,so as to form a two-dimensional collimator array with extremely high interval density. The two-dimensional array collimator has the advantages that the cost of raw materials is low, and the debuggingand packaging process is easy to realize. A two-dimensional collimator array with extremely high integration level can be realized (the
minimum distance is 125*250 mm<2>. ). The two-dimensional arraycollimator has the characteristics of being high in collimation parallelism, high in
light spot consistency, low in
insertion loss, stable in structure and the like.
