Improvement of all-fiber three-channel interleaver based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer
In order to improve the transmission performance of the all-fiber three-channel interleaver
a novel asymmetrical structure of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer(A-MZI) with three fiber arms is proposed. The A-MZI consists of a fused planar 33 coupler
a fused triangular 33 single mode fiber coupler and three fiber arms in series
in which the planar 33 coupler is used as an input coupler
and the triangular 33 coupler as an output coupler. The output expression is derived and the numerical simulation is performed.The simulation indicates that the crosstalk characteristics and the coupling-coefficient-angle tolerance can be improved greatly
and the sidelobe level of channel of the proposed device has been reduced more than 13.6 dB as compared with that of the conventional all-fiber three-channel interleaver. A interleaver is fabricated with the fused biconical taper technics in an experiment. The experimental results are in good agreement with the analytical ones. The result shows that the measured sidelobe level and the insertion loss are less than -34.6 dB and 1.0 dB
respectively
and the channel isolation is higher than 30 dB.
