光纤通信与互联网络研究所 电子器件和光子器件的比较 1 GRIN Lens GRIN lenses are short cylindrical lengths of glass with a graded refractive index: the index decreases with the square of the distance from the axis of the lens. GRIN lenses are very similar to graded index fibre and are sometimes called SELFOC lenses. 球面透镜和GRIN透镜 GRIN透镜的应用：准直-聚焦 GRIN透镜的应用：光源耦合 光纤准直器结构 干涉滤光片型波分复用器 2 Optical Amplifier An optical amplifier is a device which amplifies the optical signal directly without ever changing it to electricity. The light itself is amplified. How to make an OA Amplifiers can be built in semiconductor: Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOAs). Almost any semiconductor laser can be made into an amplifier with a few modifications Amplifiers can be built in fibres: Fibre Amplifiers EDFA: Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifiers PDFA: Praseodymium Doped Fibre Amplifiers NDFA: Neodymium Doped Fibre Amplifiers SRFA: Stimulated Raman Fibre Amplifiers PFA: Plastic Fibre Amplifier Principle Gain Saturation Gain Clamping EDFA Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOAs) 3 Splitters and Couplers to combine signals and/or to split them multiple ways. up to 1000x1000 for WDM LANs three important characteristics Return Loss:the amount of power that is reflected and thus lost. Insertion Loss:the amount of signal lost in the total transit through the device. Excess Loss:additional loss of a device over and above the loss required by theory. Single-Mode Propagation Resonant Coupling Mode coupling of two mixed signal(of different wavelength) 3dB Couplers Tap A coupler that splits only a small part of the light into one output and leaves most in the other is often called a “tap”. For example : 99:1 coupler or 1% tap. you cannot use a simple coupler to take all of the light in two fibres and merge it onto one fibre. Wavelength Selective Couplers and Splitters 4 Isolators Circulators An isolator is a device that allows light to pass along a fibre in one direction but not in the opposite direction. The Faraday E
