Fig. 5 is the simplification schematic diagram of device of the present invention.Because the reflectivity of upper and lower speculum can be regarded as constant near the output response of arrowband, so the structure of device of the present invention shown in Fig. 2 can be represented so that calculate and analyze with the simplification schematic diagram shown in Fig. 5.Wherein the refractive index in Fabry-Perot chamber is n, and thickness is h, and the reflectivity of upper reflector is R 1, the reflectivity of following speculum is R 2If ignore absorption loss, utilize multiple-beam interference method well-known in the art to calculate:
I (t)/I (i)=(1-R 1)(1-R 2)/1+R 1R 2-2R 1 1/2R 2 1/2cosδ) (1)
I wherein (t)Be transmitted intensity, I (i)Be incident intensity, I (t)/ I (i)The expression relative transmittance.Phase factor δ satisfies:
δ=4πnhcosθ/λ (2)
Wherein θ is an incidence angle, and λ is a wavelength, and n is the refractive index in chamber.When incidence angle was 0 °, phase factor was:
δ=4πnh/λ (3)
By (1) formula as can be known, when the resonance in Fabry-Perot chamber occurs in phase factor and equals the integral multiple of 2 π, just:
δ=2mπ (4)
By (3) and (4) formula as can be known, resonant wavelength λ mFor:
λ m=2nh/m (5)
The Fabry-Perot chamber of device is made of two parts with different-thickness, and the thickness of supposing one of them part is h 1, then resonant wavelength is λ M1=2nh 1/ m; The thickness of another part is h 2, then resonant wavelength is λ M2=2nh 2/ m.The wavelength table of supposing the intersection point correspondence of the outputs response that produced by these two parts is shown λ Dip, obviously the output that is produced by two parts responds at λ DipThe relative transmittance at place is equal, promptly
cosδ 1=cosδ 2 (6)
δ wherein 1=4 π nh 1/ λ Dip, δ 2=4 π nh 2/ λ DipAccording to (4) and (6) formula as can be known:
δ 12=4mπ (7)
4πnh 1dip+4πnh 2dip=4mπ
λ dip=n(h 1+h 2)/m (8)
h 2=h 1-Δ (9)
We only consider centre wavelength (λ 0=near 1300nm) output responds, so m satisfies:
m=Round(2nh 10) (10)
Wherein Round represents the round function.According to (1), (3), (8), (9) and (10) formula as can be known, the first of Fabry-Perot is at λ DipThe relative transmittance that the place produces is:
F 1 = ( 1 - R 1 ) ( 1 - R 2 ) 1 + R 1 R 2 - 2 R 1 R 2 cos 4 π h 1 Round ( 2 nh 1 / λ 0 ) 2 h 1 - Δ - - - ( 11 )
In like manner, the second portion in Fabry-Perot chamber is at λ DipThe relative transmittance that the place produces is:
F 2 = ( 1 - R 1 ) ( 1 - R 2 ) 1 + R 1 R 2 - 2 R 1 R 2 cos 4 π ( h 1 - Δ ) Round ( 2 nh 1 / λ 0 ) 2 h 1 - Δ - - - ( 12 )
So Fabry-Perot chamber λ DipThe relative transmittance that the place produces is:
F dip=(F 1+F 2)/2 (13)
Fig. 6 has provided with computer program and has realized (11), (12) and (13) and the λ of acquisition DipThe relative transmittance at place is to Fabry-Perot chamber thickness h 1Relation curve, R wherein 1=0.8195, R 2=0.8859, n=3.5, Δ=7nm, λ 0=1300nm, h 1Be 30 μ m~40 μ m.The trough of output response is approximately 0.61 as can see from Figure 6, to thickness h 1Variation insensitive.
The peak value that device is always exported response appears near the peak value of the output response that each part in Fabry-Perot chamber produces, and therefore total output response has two peaks.Work as h 1When bigger, can be approximated to be:
λ peak1=[2nh 1/m+n(h 1+h 2)/m]/2 (14)
According to (1), (3), (9), (10) and (14) formula as can be known, for λ Peak1Have:
F 1 ′ = ( 1 - R 1 ) ( 1 - R 2 ) 1 + R 1 R 2 - 2 R 1 R 2 cos 8 π h 1 Round ( 2 nh 1 / λ 0 ) 3 h 1 + h 2 - - - ( 15 )
F 2 ′ = ( 1 - R 1 ) ( 1 - R 2 ) 1 + R 1 R 2 - 2 R 1 R 2 cos 8 π ( h 1 - Δ ) Round ( 2 nh 1 / λ 0 ) 3 h 1 + h 2 - - - ( 16 )
F peak1=(F 1’+F 2’)/2 (17)
Fig. 7 has provided with computer program and has realized (15), (16) and (17) and the λ of acquisition Peak1The relative transmittance at place is to Fabry-Perot chamber thickness h 1Relation curve, R wherein 1=0.8195, R 2=0.8859, n=3.5, Δ=7nm, λ 0=1300nm, h 1Be 30 μ m~40 μ m.The crest of output response is approximately 0.626 as can see from Figure 7, to thickness h 1Variation insensitive.Use the same method and to obtain λ Peak2The relative transmittance at place is to Fabry-Perot chamber thickness h 1Curve, find and λ Peak1The situation at place is almost completely identical.
The waviness that Fig. 8 has provided device of the present invention output response is that difference between crest relative transmittance and the trough relative transmittance is to Fabry-Perot chamber thickness h 1Relation curve.The waviness of output response is approximately 0.017 as can see from Figure 8, to h 1Change insensitive.Therefore, can optionally design the one-tenth-value thickness 1/10 h of Fabry-Perot 1, and can not have influence on the performance of flat-top output response, thereby can realize the performance of arrowband and precipitous band edge and good flat-top response simultaneously.
The typical case that Fig. 9 has provided the device of the present invention that uses transfer matrix method well-known in the art and obtain exports response.Δ=7nm wherein, λ 0=1300nm, h 1Be 30 μ m.The three dB bandwidth of device output response is approximately 0.7nm as seen from Figure 9, the 10dB bandwidth is approximately 1.6nm, the waviness of flat-top response is approximately 0.02, and the nuance of the value 0.017 that this value and Fig. 8 provide is to cause owing to use approximate expression (14) in Fig. 8 calculates.
So far, understand the structure and the principle of device of the present invention in detail.Compare with existing filter, the Fabry-Perot chamber of filter of the present invention has two parts of different-thickness, the light path difference of light beam process in two parts in Fabry-Perot chamber, the light of two kinds of wavelength selected by and other wavelength components are intercepted, thereby make the output response have flat characteristic.The flat-top response performance of device of the present invention depends on the thickness difference of two parts in chamber, and it doesn't matter with Fabry-Perot chamber thickness, and the physical thickness that therefore can increase the Fabry-Perot chamber reduces bandwidth and obtains precipitous band edge.Device of the present invention also has heater, thereby has arrowband, flat-top response and tunable superperformance simultaneously, thereby is more suitable for detecting in the difference to channel light in optical-fiber network.The scheme technology that the present invention proposes is simple, realizes easily, and the reliability height, superior performance, device is integrated realizing various sophisticated functionss with other active or passive photonic devices easily, thus the miniaturization that can satisfy the practicability system applies can the integrated demand of compatibility.
