Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A single-fiber subassembly includes a first photodiode for receiving incident light, a laser diode for transmitting emergent light, and a same-wavelength optical splitter having a positive direction. The splitter includes a first birefringent plate, a half-wave plate, a 45° Faraday rotator, and a second birefringent plate arranged in sequence along and vertical to the positive direction. An included angle between an optical axis of the first plate and the positive direction is α, where 0°<α<90°; an angle between an e-axis of the half-wave plate and a principal section of the first plate is β, where β=22.5° or 67.5°. The incident light passes through the splitter along the positive direction; the emergent light passes through the splitter along a direction opposite to the positive direction; and the emergent light is linearly polarized light whose polarization direction is vertical to the principal section of the first plate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A single-fiber subassembly, comprising: a first photodiode for receiving incident light and a laser diode for transmitting emergent light; a same-wavelength optical splitter having a positive direction and comprising a first birefringent plate, a half-wave plate, a 45° Faraday rotator, and a second birefringent plate that is the same as the first birefringent plate, which are arranged in sequence along the positive direction and oriented perpendicular to t…
