We do further and elaborate wavelength-division multiplex photoelectricity transmitter module of the present invention with specific embodiment by reference to the accompanying drawings below, in the hope of more cheer and bright, its architectural feature and workflow are described, but can not limit the scope of the invention with this.
Wavelength-division multiplex photoelectricity transmitter module of the present invention structurally includes polarization beam splitter prism and generating laser, and overall thought is laser beam outgoing in polarization beam splitter prism is coupled to same optical fiber of different wave length that multiple generating lasers are sent. In order to achieve the above object, between at least one laser beam and polarization beam splitter prism, be provided with sandwich optical module, described sandwich optical module is made up of a filter plate and two quarter-wave plates, and described quarter-wave plate is positioned at the both sides of filter plate to form Layer cake structure.

Embodiment 1
Please see Figure 1, as seen from the figure, the present embodiment is 5 passage wavelength division multiplexed light electricity transmitter modules, comprising five generating laser LD, send accordingly respectively the laser beam of five kinds of different wave lengths, λ 1, λ 2, λ 3, λ 4 and λ 5, the polarization state of laser beam is respectively: the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 1 is P state, the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 2 is S state, the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 3 is P state, the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 4 is S state, and the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 5 is P state. The polarization state of laser beam is to represent with strigula in P state figure, and the polarization state of laser beam is to represent with black circle in S state figure. In addition, wavelength-division multiplex photoelectricity transmitter module also includes two polarization beam splitter prisms and five and is directed to respectively the filter plate of wavelength X 1, λ 2, λ 3, λ 4 and λ 5, wherein, be directed in four filter plates of wavelength X 2, λ 3, λ 4 and λ 5, the both sides of each filter plate are respectively provided with a quarter-wave plate, in this quarter-wave plate figure, represent with λ/4. Send the generating laser LD(λ 1 of wavelength X 1), the first polarization beam splitter prism and the second polarization beam splitter prism place successively along straight line. Wherein, send the generating laser LD(λ 2 of wavelength X 2) and send the generating laser LD(λ 3 of wavelength X 3) being placed in respectively the both lateral sides of the first polarization beam splitter prism, the laser beam sending is relatively incident in the first polarization beam splitter prism; Send the generating laser LD(λ 4 of wavelength X 4) and send the generating laser LD(λ 5 of wavelength X 5) being placed in respectively the both lateral sides of the second polarization beam splitter prism, the laser beam sending is relatively incident in the second polarization beam splitter prism. Finally, including wavelength X 1, λ 2, λ 3, λ 4 and λ 5 synthetic laser light beams is coupled in same optical fiber and is exported by condenser lens 6.
Because polarization beam splitter prism is for the light beam total transmissivity of P polarization state, for the light beam total reflection of S polarization state, the present invention utilizes this principle exactly, and the laser beam of the different wave length that different generating lasers are sent is coupled in same optical fiber to be exported. In order to obtain the light beam of single wavelength, we are respectively provided with a filter plate in the light path of each generating laser, its objective is the light of respective wavelength can be passed through, and the light of other wavelength is reflected back.
In the present embodiment, the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 1 is P state, and it is directly through wavelength X 1 filter plate, the first polarization beam splitter prism and the second polarization beam splitter prism, and the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 2 is S state, it is first through a quarter-wave plate, make laser beam be converted to circularly polarized light from S polarised light, and then through wavelength X 2 filter plates and another quarter-wave plate, become P polarised light from circularly polarized light and be incident to the first polarization beam splitter prism. the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 3 is P state, it is first through a quarter-wave plate, laser beam is converted to circularly polarized light from P polarised light, and then through wavelength X 2 filter plates and another quarter-wave plate, its polarization state is converted into S state from circularly polarized light again and is incident to the first polarization beam splitter prism. due to the characteristic of polarization beam splitter prism, be directed to wavelength X 2 and wavelength X 3 laser beams of relative position incident, wavelength X 2 laser beams of P polarization state are from the first polarization beam splitter prism transmission, then make laser beam be converted to circularly polarized light from linearly polarized light through quarter-wave plate, then encountering wavelength X 3 filter plates reflects, again make circularly polarized light become linearly polarized light through quarter-wave plate, its polarization state 90-degree rotation become S state, when wavelength X 2 laser beams reach the first polarization beam splitter prism again like this, the same with the polarization state of wavelength X 3 laser beams is all S state, thereby longitudinally export the second polarization beam splitter prism to after reflection of polarization face reflection 90 degree by the first polarization beam splitter prism.
The polarization state that is positioned at wavelength X 4 that the generating laser of the second polarization beam splitter prism both lateral sides sends and wavelength X 5 laser beams is the same with the polarization state of wavelength X 3 laser beams with the wavelength X 2 of the first polarization beam splitter prism both sides respectively. In its light path the setting of quarter-wave plate and filter plate too, therefore its can cause equally wavelength X 4 and wavelength X 5 laser beams with S polarization state from the second polarization beam splitter prism longitudinal output. Because the wavelength X 2 of the S state from the first polarization beam splitter prism outgoing can make polarization state 90-degree rotation become P state with twice through four point of one wave plate through wavelength X 4 filter plate reflections with wavelength X 3 laser beams, make polarization state 90-degree rotation become S state with twice through four point of one wave plate by wavelength X 5 filter plate reflections again, thus longitudinally output after reflection of polarization face reflection 90 degree of the second polarization beam splitter prism.
From the above, having comprised wavelength X 1 laser beam that polarization state is P state and polarization state from the second polarization beam splitter prism longitudinal emitting laser light beam is that the synthetic light beam of λ 2, λ 3, λ 4 and λ 5 laser beams of S state is coupled to same optical fiber and is exported by condenser lens.
Embodiment 2
Structure in the present embodiment and light path and embodiment 1 are roughly the same, and difference is, the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 1 is S state, but not P state. Like this, wavelength X 1 laser beam of S state can longitudinally reflect through the reflection of polarization face of the first polarization beam splitter prism, first through a quarter-wave plate, make linearly polarized light be converted into circularly polarized light, then after wavelength X 2 filter plates reflections through same quarter-wave plate, be converted to linearly polarized light from circularly polarized light again, its polarization state 90-degree rotation becomes P polarised light and is laterally incident in the first polarization beam splitter prism. Laterally outgoing of edge after transmission from the first polarization beam splitter prism, first through a quarter-wave plate, make linearly polarized light be converted into circularly polarized light, then after wavelength X 3 filter plates reflections through same quarter-wave plate, be converted to linearly polarized light from circularly polarized light again, its polarization state 90-degree rotation becomes S polarised light and is laterally incident in the first polarization beam splitter prism, and the 90 degree reflections of the reflection of polarization face of the first polarization beam splitter prism, along longitudinal outgoing of the first polarization beam splitter prism. Same light path walking manner ground after the second polarization beam splitter prism with the longitudinal outgoing of S state. Like this, in the present embodiment, wavelength X 1, λ 2, λ 3, λ 4 and 5 five laser beams of λ are all coupled in same optical fiber and are exported by condenser lens with the synthetic light beam of S polarization state.

As shown in Figure 2, the present embodiment and embodiment 1 are roughly the same, difference is that the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 2 is P state, this laser beam can see through after wavelength X 2 filter plates directly into being incident upon in the first polarization beam splitter prism and transmission like this, make polarization converted become S state through quarter-wave plate and wavelength X 3 filter plate combinations again, then be incident in the first polarization beam splitter prism through the 90 degree reflections of reflection of polarization face. The reason of doing is like this, because the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 1 is P state, it is directly through wavelength X 1 filter plate, the first polarization beam splitter prism and the second polarization beam splitter prism. It does not need just can be from the first polarization beam splitter prism transmission through polarization converted, and the laser beam polarization state of wavelength X 3 is to become S state after P state conversion 90 degree, directly by the first polarization beam splitter prism through the 90 degree reflections of reflection of polarization face. From structure arranges, only need to place wavelength X 2 filter plates sending between the generating laser of wavelength X 2 laser beams and the first polarization beam splitter prism, and not need to place quarter-wave plate.
