(VIPA) technology Figure B.1 shows the structure of virtually imaged phased array (VIPA) The input light from a single-mode fibre is line-focused into a glass plate The glass plate is coated on both sides and collimated light is emitted from the reverse side of the glass after multiple reflections in the glass plate The light from the glass plate is focused onto a curved mirror The reflected light travels back to the glass plate and is finally coupled to the fibre Glass plate Collimating lens Shorter λ Dc> 3-dimensional mirror X-axis Optical circulator Line-focusing lens Focusing lens Longer λ Dc< IEC 2224/09 Figure B.1 – Structure of virtually imaged phased array (VIPA) Figure B.2 shows the detailed light path Each time the light is reflected at the right surface of the glass plate, several per cent of the power passes through the reflection coating This creates multiple beams which seem to diverge from the corresponding beam waist in the virtual image The interference of these diverging beams generates collimated light This collimated light travels at an angle which varies with the wavelength Chromatic dispersion, i.e the wavelength dependence of travelling distance, is decided by the wavelength dependence of the pointing angle of collimated light from the glass plate and the surface profile of the reflection mirror The convex mirror produces negative chromatic dispersion and the concave mirror produces positive chromatic dispersion Figure B.1 shows that the collimated light (grey line area on the surface of the 3-D mirror) reflects along the concave mirror surface, which produces positive chromatic dispersion By shifting the position of the 3-D mirror along the X-axis, the collimated light can also reflect along the convex mirror surface, which produces negative chromatic dispersion If the surface profile of the 3-D mirror is designed such that the curvature of the mirror surface is gradually changed along the X-axis, the chromatic dispersion can be easily changed by shifting of the 3-D mirror position along the X-axis BS EN 61753-143-2:2013 61753-143-2 © IEC:2012 – 19 – ff aa Focusing lenslens Focusing Shorter wavelength GlassPlate plate Glass
