发明名称 | Multi-core optical fiber coupler | ||
摘要 | An optical device comprising a multi-core optical fiber coupler. The multi-core optical fiber coupler includes a substrate having a planar surface and turning mirrors located along the planar surface, each of the turning mirrors having a reflective surface oriented to change a direction of light between a direction that is parallel to the planar surface and a direction that is substantially non-parallel to the planar surface. The turning mirrors form a lateral pattern along the planar surface, the lateral pattern being configured to approximately match a pattern of optical cores in a multi-core optical fiber whose end segment faces the pattern and is positioned substantially normal to the planar surface of the substrate. | ||

主权项 | 1. An optical device, comprising: a multi-core optical fiber coupler, including: a substrate having a continuous crystalline material layer with a planar surface; and turning mirrors located along the planar surface, each of the turning mirrors having a reflective surface that is diagonally angled relative to the planar surface, and, wherein the reflective surface is oriented to change a direction of light between a direction that is parallel to the planar surface and a direction that is substantially non-parallel to the planar surface, wherein: the turning mirrors form a lateral pattern along the planar surface, the lateral pattern being configured to approximately match a pattern of optical cores in a multi-core optical fiber whose end segment faces the pattern and is positioned substantially normal to the planar surface of the substrate. | ||
