用在 Mach-Zehnder 干涉仪(MZI ) 的戒指洞(RC ) 的一个新奇有平面的东西和低分散的光 interleaver 被建议。它由八面镜子和二嵌套的棱柱对组成。每棱柱和二面镜子作为 RC 表现。RC 的阶段移动是作为一个阶段扮演散镜子的输入光的频率的一个周期的函数。二阶段移动需要完成一个有平面的东西光谱通带被夫累X尔反射率在二 RC 的棱柱空气接口提供。为扁平的通带,高隔离和低分散的最佳接口反射率能仅仅由在每 RC 为棱柱选择适当材料被获得。在 25 GHz 隧道间距申请的建议 interleaver 展出比 24 GHz (96%间距)大的 0.5 dB 通带,比 21.2 GHz (84.8%间距)大的 30 dB stopband ,比 32 dB 和色彩的分散高的隧道隔离????
A novel flat-top and low-dispersion optical interleaver using ring cavities (RCs) in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is proposed. It is composed of eight mirrors and two nested prism pairs. Each prism and the two mirrors behave as a RC. Phase shift of RC is a periodic function of the frequency of the input light which acts as a phase dispersive mirror. The two phase shifts needed to achieve a flat-top spectral passband are provided by Fresnel reflectivities at the prism-air interface of the two RCs. The optimum interface reflectivities for flat passband, high isolation and low dispersion can be obtained only by choosing an appropriate material for the prism in each RC. The proposed interleaver in a 25 GHz channel spacing application exhibits a 0.5 dB passband greater than 24 GHz (96% of the spacing), a 30 dB stopband greater than 21.2 GHz (84.8% of the spacing), a channel isolation higher than 32 dB and chromatic dispersion ±50 ps/nm within the range of center-frequency :t:2 GHz ITU passband.
