楔角参量对角度调谐滤光片反射特性影响的光谱学研究

三端口可调谐滤波器是全光智能交换网络和密集波分复用系统中的核心器件。其反射端口的光谱特性,尤其是反射率和信道隔离度对于滤波器的性能至关重要。角度调谐滤光片因其良好的矩形度和温度稳定性被广泛应用于三端口可调谐滤波器的制备,其反射端口的光谱特性不仅与倾斜入射角度的大小有关,而且与其非平行端面间的楔角参量有关。文章详细分析了楔角参量对非平行角度调谐滤光片的反射率及半宽的影响,仿真计算了楔角参量在不同极性和大小条件下角度调谐滤光片的反射光谱特性,揭示了保持适当的楔角参量和方向性可以改善倾斜入射状态下滤光片的反射光谱特性。设计并制备了楔角为0.8°的楔形角度调谐滤光片,实验证明了当保持楔角方向与倾斜入射方向相同时会严重的劣化透反射光谱的半宽和隔离度,方向相反时则可以改善反射光谱的反射率和半宽指标。通过负楔角参量的引入使得角度调谐滤光片较之高平行度的同类器件具有更高的反射率和信道隔离度。     

倾斜入射楔形薄膜滤光片的透射光谱研究

角度调谐薄膜滤光片因较大的波长调谐特性和良好的矩形度在密集波分复用系统中得到了广泛的应用。在倾斜入射时薄膜滤光片透射光谱的透射率和半宽不仅受到入射角度的影响,还跟滤光片两端面间的非平行度即楔角的大小有关。详细分析了楔角对对滤光片透射率以及半宽的影响,发现适当的楔角和角度取向能够改善倾斜入射状态下滤光片的透射光谱特性。设计制备了楔角为0.8°的楔形薄膜角度调谐滤光片,实验结果证明保持该楔角的方向与倾斜入射角度相同时会严重的劣化透射光谱的透射率和矩形度,方向相反时则可以提高光谱的透射率以及矩形度,并使器件的波长调谐范围增大约10 nm。     

Design of non-polarization angle-tuned narrowband thin film filter

Angle-tuned thin film bandpass filter is widely used in DWDM system. In oblique incidence, the bandwidths and central wavelengths of the P-polarization and S-polarization light will separate obviously, which will cause serious polarization dependent loss. These phenomena of the polarization sensitivities are analyzed and a novel non-polarization 100 GHz four-cavity narrowband dielectric thin film stack used in oblique incidence is proposed. The simulation results show that it can eliminate the polarization bandwidths and central wavelengths separation within the incident angle from 0° to 25°, and its tunable range can cover the whole C-band.
