Lightwave2020's VOA and Photodiode

Add Intelligence to Networks

Future optical networks will be more adaptive and scalable tomeet the demands of increasingly complex optical networks. Components such as VOAs must therefore be intelli-gent. The rapid growth of enterprise Intranet and end-userInternet traffic requires carriers to intelligently manage trafficand dynamically provision services, and intelligent VOAs area key component in providing this flexibility. They are criticalin enabling next generation applications such as dynamicmetro networks, dynamic gain EDFA, dynamic gain equaliza-tion and dynamic system protection in long reach or shortreach telecom networks, CATV and other optical systems. Buthow intelligent should they be? It really depends on the systemoperator and the degree of remote control desired over the net-work. That is why Lightwaves2020 provides its customers witha VOA platform that allows for as much or as little intelligenceas is required.

Option 1: A Closed Loop VOA Structure

On the first step toward intelligence, Lightwaves2020's has

integrated a power monitor (simple tap and photodiode) into a

VOA. This configuration offers an optical closed-loop ready

structure for precise power auto-balancing and VOA output

monitoring, making it ideal for feedback loop structure design.

The integration adopts a plugable interface for easy mounting

onto the electric board.

Option 2: Adding A VOA Controller

The basic power monitor + VOA design can be expanded to

include a VOA driver along with a TIA (LOG AMP is

optional), which is necessary to amplify the small photodiode

signal. This modification establishes a ready-to-operate

platform and multi-functional electric interface to the system

that allows the system operator to adjust the VOA with a

continuous 0 ~ 5V DC voltage and directly read the amplified

PD output in the form of DC voltage.

Option 3: Adding a Digital Interface

By further adding a digital interface to the VOA through an I2C

connection (by adopting I2C compatible chips), remote control

through system commands can be realized. Through the

digital interface, the system operator can intelligently receive

power reports and adjust the output power of the VOA

accordingly.

Option 4: Adding a Microprocessor

The most powerful intelligent feature that can be added to

Lightwaves2020's VOA is a microprocessor (µP). With the

existence of a µP, system operators need only set the output

power from the VOA digitally through either an RS232 or I2C

interface. The module will automatically monitor the VOA

output and protect the VOA's output power from environmen-

tal disturbance without input from the system administrator,

providing complete worry-free operation.

The following table shows how Lightwaves2020's VOA functionality increases

with each step.

Of course, there will always be a small market for

manual VOAs in static applications where remote

control is unnecessary or where small inaccuracies

that can potentially be introduced into the system by

multiple, independently-controlled devices and con-

trol software must be avoided. But most system oper-

ators will want to be able to remotely control their

VOAs in the future, and Lightwaves2020 provides a

VOA product to take them there.

Photo Diode Tap Filter Collimator

Integrating a separate tap and

photodiode into a VOA adds unnecessary

complexity and cost to your system. A simpler

solution is to integrate Lightwaves2020's Miniature

Optical Power Monitor (MOPM) with a VOA to achieve

the same functionality but with a lower cost and greater

space savings.

The MOPM is a miniature optical power monitoring

device that integrates a micro tap coupler and a PIN pho-

todiode into an ultra-compact coaxial package. The

MOPM performs two functions at the same time: it taps

a portion of the input optical power (through the micro-

tap coupler) and converts the tapped optical power into

a photocurrent (through the photodiode). This design

enables the MOPM to offers better performance than

MOPM schematic diagram

other power monitoring solutions in terms of responsivity flat-

ness, wider operating wavelength range and lower polarization

dependent loss.

Lightwaves2020's LC VOA Product

Portfolio Update and Selection Guidance

Lightwaves 2020 is one of the few fiber

optic component manufacturers to bring

to market the benefits of using Liquid

Crystal technology in VOA components.

Our proprietary device structure and

laser-welded packaging guarantees the

simplified assembly with high alignment

accuracy and reliability. There is no moving part during the adjustment process. Lightwaves 2020's LC

VOA offers many advantages including static charge resistance, continuous tuning, low PDL, high attenua-

tion, low WDL and ripple, voltage controllability, and low power consumption. It is also capable of high

power handling, the critical parameter for optical amplifier applications. Due to our LC VOA's innovative

design and high manufacturing standards, it is extremely stable and insensitive to vibrations of nearly all fre-

quencies and mechanical shock.

Lightwaves2020's state-of-the-art Liquid

Crystal based VOA products have recent-

ly added new family members in order to

meet customers' versatile applications.

Table 1. Listed the new product family summary

The output power of line card needs to be adjustable in

order for the system balance. Varying the laser current is

going to affect the center wavelength and is not a feasi-

ble way for adjustment. For this application, the critical

characteristics include low PDL, low insertion loss and

output power stability. LC VOA model A or M are fit-

ting this application. There are two options to implement

the VOA feature. As shown in Figure 1 and 2, the VOAs

can be before the transmitter or put together with

DWDM module. Combining with Lightwaves2020's

integrated power monitor, a close-loop control is set up

to maintain the power stability. In the case of open-loop

environment, we can use look-up table for adjustment

with high accuracy of 0.5dB over all operating tempera-

ture range. Since this is single channel application, the

customers get the most cost benefitsClose-loop

To protect the receiver from power saturation, LC VOA model N is

used. With normal-off operation mode, the receiver is well protected at

the initial stage and power outrange. The high attenuation adds shut-off

feature to help the system on wavelength provisions. Similar to the

application at transmission line card, this model is also a cost-effective

solution.

The current networks are much more flexible and provisional than

before for the purpose of saving initial CAPEX and later OPEX. The

design of EDFA cannot be predetermined and fixed anymore. To realize

the sophisticated variable gain amplifier, the best way is to use LC

VOA. Using LC VOA does not affect the overall amplifier performance

such as noise figure and control accuracy but the output gain. The most

critical requirements on VOA in order to sustain the amplifier perform-

ance are the high sustainable power, the wavelength dependent attenu-

ation, the narrowband ripple, and tuning resolution. LC VOA model J

or K's performance are optimized particularly for this applications.

LC VOA is well-known for its highest mechanical stability and

reliability because of its no-moving part design . LC VOA model H or

I used in hand-held attenuation instruments guarantee the no-disturbed

output under different conditions.

Liquid Crystal Phase Retarder

Lightwaves2020’s Liquid Crystal Phase Retarder can be used as a tunable wave plate by adjust-

ing the applied AC voltage. The retardation of the standard liquid crystal cell can be π/2, π, and

2π depending on the thickness of the liquid crystal layer.

Liquid crystals have anisotropic molecules. In LC cell without any external electric field, the

ordering of the molecules is usually determined by the anisotropy of the boundary. The ordering

of the molecules can be controlled electrically by applying an external electric field. As a result

of the ordering of the molecules, the liquid crystal exhibits a strong optical birefringence. In order

words, there are two modes of optical propagation, each with a unique phase velocity. The dif-

ference in the phase velocities leads to a phase retardation (Γ) between these two modes.

Where no is the ordinary refractive index of the liquid crystal, ne is the extraordinary refractive

index that varies with the applied voltage; d is the thickness of the LC layer and λ is the wave-

length of light.

As a consequence, the polarization state of an incoming polarized light can be modified by the

applied electric field. When such an LC cell is sandwiched between a polarizer and an analyzer

perpendicular to one another, the intensity of the transmitted light (It) can be represented as

It = I0 sin2(Γ/2),

where I0 is the intensity of the light with the polarization parallel to the polarizer. Γ is the phase

retardation of the LC cell, which is dependent on the applied voltage. Fig.1 shows the attenuation

versus the peak-to-peak AC voltage of a half wave-plate liquid crystal cell for the polarizer par-

allel and perpendicular to the analyzer.

The liquid crystal phase retarder can be used in optical variable attenuator, optical switch, opti-

cal shutter, and other applications.

Lightwaves2020’s liquid crystal based Variable Optical Attenuator (LC-VOA) is based on our propri-etary liquid crystal (LC) technology and Laser welding package technology, which features AC volt-age controlled, no-moving parts and low power consumption.

With laser welding process, the LC cell and optics are sealed in a compact coaxial package of φ7.2mm in diameter, which makes this small footprint ideal for integration onto circuit board.

The LC cell, acting as a variable phase retarder, changes the phase of incoming optical wave whileAC voltage is applied on the cell. This phase shift results in variation of optical coupling efficiency,which eventually causes optical attenuation. By the principle, the attenuation is just the result of opti-cal phase shift other than movement of any mechanical parts.

The LC-VOA can sustain office vibration and mechanical shock. The LC-VOA is driven by either a 0 ~ 30V peak to peak 10 KHz square wave or a 0 ~ 5V DC signalwhen using a Lightwaves2020’s driver.

In addition, it offers the benefits of continuous attenuation control without backlash, high attenuationof more than 30 dB, low driving voltage, excellent PDL, low insertion loss, precision attenuation con-trol without backlash, wide operating wavelength range covering S-, C- or L- band.

The LC-VOA can be used for pre-emphasis of signals of DWDM lasers in long haul systems, powerequalization in optical add/drop modules and optical cross-connects, as well as gain-tilt adjustmentin erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. The VOA is designed and built to meet Telcordia standard.

Excellent Uniformity

As shown at the right, we are able to make those fluorescence filters with very

good uniformity. For instance, the center wavelength variation over a 3” x 3”

wafer is less than 0.5 nm.This will result in much better image, especially in a system with large NA anlarge beam size.

High Transmission

Our fluorescence filters have high transmission, with transmittance higher than

85 % in UV, and larger than 90 % in visible.

(See spectra at the right, measured at wafer level before AR is applied on the

back).
