Bidirectional Transceiver Modules on the Silicon Bench using Ultra-thin Thin-film Filter and Optical FibersYang, Chia-chin 13 June 2005 (has links)
The primary target of this paper is to fabricate bidirectional transceiver modules based on single mode fiber (SMF) and ultra-thin thin-film filter (TFF). Two major components, namely, SMF and ultra-thin TFF are hybrid integrated on the silicon bench using V-groove and U-groove techniques. A 1310 nm wavelength light was launched into the input SMF of the module. After passing through the filter, the light was received by the output SMF of the module. On the other hand, a 1550 nm wavelength light input to the SMF is reflected by the filter and collected by the output multimode fiber (MMF).
Transceiver modules using two different fiber structures were fabricated. The first kind of the module uses standard SMF for 1310 nm light transmission. The insertion loss of the module for the 1310 nm wavelength light was 5.66 dB. In the second kind of the module lens fibers were used to replace the standard SMF. The insertion loss for the 1310 nm wavelength light was reduced to 0.98 dB. A reduction of 4.6 dB was achieved. For both modules, the insertion loss for the 1550 nm wavelength light reflected from the filter was around 0.5 dB.
