Polymeric 32-channel arrayed waveguide grating multiplexer using fluorinated poly (ether ether ketone)

In wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems, an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer is a key component. A polymeric AWG multiplexer has recently attracted much attention due to its low cost processing and a potential of integration with other devices. Fluorinated poly (ether ether ketone)(FPEEK) is excellent material for fabrication of optical waveguides due to its low absorption loss at 1.55-μm wavelength and high thermal stability. A 32-channel AWG multiplexer has been designed based on the grating diffraction theory and fabricated using newly synthesized FPEEK. During the fabrication process of the Polymer/Si AWG device, spin coating, vaporizing, photolithographic patterning and reactive ion etching (RIE) are used. The AWG multiplexer measurement system is based on a tunable semiconductor laser, infrared camera and a Peltier-type heater. The device exhibits a wavelength channel spacing of 0.8nm and a center wavelength of 1548 nm in the room temperature.

光栅作为一重要的分光元件,广泛应用于各类光谱仪,其中球面变线距平场光栅以其独特的平场特性使其容易与阵列探测器结合使用,一次实现宽光谱范围的记录。商业球面平场光栅一般只会提供光栅的公称线密度以及相应的安装参数,而不会提供光栅具体的变线距参数,并且提供的安装参数是针对整个使用波段优化的结果。使用者往往只需要其中的一部分波段。针对这种情况,根据球面平场光栅聚焦、分光原理,利用生产厂家提供的光学元件安装参数给出了推导球面变线距光栅变线距参数的方法。并给出了利用这些参数,根据光谱仪的实际工作波段确定最佳的CCD安装位置的方法。根据推导的光栅变线距参数可以对光学系统进行光学追迹已验证光学系统的性能。研制了一台高分辨率紫外平场光谱仪,覆盖光谱范围230~280 nm。采用的球面变线距光栅公称线密度为1 200 lines·mm-1,使用波段为170~500 nm。推导了该光栅的变线距参数,并针对230~280 nm波段对CCD的安装位置进行了优化。同时利用不同元素的标准光源空心阴极灯对光谱仪进行了波长标定和光谱分辨率测试。波长标定采用参数拟合法,整个波段范围内的标定精度优于0.01 nm。光谱分辨率测试的结果表明光谱仪的光谱分辨率达到0.08 nm@280.20 nm。

All-Fiber Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer Using a Pair of Fiber Grating Couplers

A new all-fiber optical add-drop multiplexer (ADM) using a pair of fiber grating couplers (FGCs) was proposed and first demonstrated. It was theoretically and experimentally shown that both drop and add efficiencies could be maximized in the proposed ADM. It was also clarified that the crosstalk between dropped and added signals could be improved in the proposed ADM compared with that in the single FGC. Drop and add operations in the ADM for 3-channel WDM signals with 1.6 nm wavelength spacing were confirmed. The ADM with signal amplification ability, which consists of a pair of FGCs, an EDF, and a pump-LD, was proposed and demonstrated. It was confirmed that the dropped and transmitted optical signals could be amplified in the ADM, and would be able to expand fiber routing spans.

Polarization-independent triangular-groove fused-silica gratings with high efficiency at a wavelength of 1550 nm

We describe polarization-independent triangular-groove fused-silica gratings illuminated by incident lights in the C + L bands as (de)multiplexers for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) application. The physical mechanisms of the grating can be shown clearly by using the simplified modal method with consideration of the corresponding accumulated average phase difference of two excited propagating grating modes, which illustrates that the grating structure depends mainly on the ratio of the average effective indices difference to the incident wavelength. Exact grating profile is optimized by using the rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA). With the optimized grating parameters, the grating exhibits diffraction efficiencies of greater than 90% under TE- and TM-polarized incident lights for 101 nm spectral bandwidths (1500-1601 nm) and it can reach an efficiency of more than 99% for both polarizations at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Without loss of metal absorption, coating of dielectric film layers, the designed triangular-groove fused-silica grating should be of great interest for DWDM application.

宽谱段高分辨扫描光谱定标技术

为了满足原子发射光谱仪在紫外至近红外宽谱段范围内的高光谱分辨率快速检测需求,采用精密角位移平台直接驱动光栅,配合面阵探测器,实现高精度光谱分段快速扫描探测。但在扫描过程中,探测器像元波长增量与光栅转角呈非线性关系,且不同像元的波长增量不同,这对该光谱仪波长定标造成障碍。为校正光栅色散的非线性,基于光栅方程精确计算光栅转角与探测器首尾两端像元波长的映射关系,针对同一光栅转角,探测器其余像元波长利用首尾像元波长按照局部线性色散规律计算得到,从而完成全谱段光谱定标。依据定标所得转角与探测波段对应关系依次驱动光栅转动,实现宽谱段范围内的分段高精度光谱快速扫描探测。利用汞灯光源对该定标方法的波长检测精度进行检验,在200~800 nm的宽谱段范围内,波长准确度优于0.018 nm,波长重复性优于0.001 nm。
