Abstract

We proposed an analysis model for a Fabry-Perot cavity constructed with a plane-mirrored optical fiber and a concave-mirrored one. We presented the analysis results calculated by inserting practical values into the equations derived. The coupling loss of the cavity and the mirror loss are the most important parameters in reducing the insertion loss of the filter. In order to build a filter of finesse 600, FSR 57 nm, and insertion loss < 3 dB, the plane-concave cavity using mirrors of loss < 0.09% should be aligned for the coupling loss to be less than 0.1 %.

파장가변 필터를 목적으로 plane-concave 거울쌍으로 구성된 Fabry-Perot 공진기에 대한 해석모델을 제안하고, 이를 실제 제작과정에서의 변수 값을 적용하여 해석한 결과를 제시하였다. 공진기의 결합손실과 거울의 손실이 필터의 삽입손실에 가장 큰 변수로 작용하며, plane-concave 거울쌍 구성을 이용하여 finesse가 600, FSR이 57 nm, 삽입손실 (insertion loss)이 3 dB 이하인 필터를 구현하기 위해서는 손실이 0.09% 이하인 거울을 사용하여 공진기의 결합손실이 0.1% 이하가 되도록 오목거울의 곡률반경과 정렬상태를 조절하여야 하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
