Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical measurement, in particular to a high-precision laser wavelength measuring method based on a slope filter.
Background
The optical wavelength measurement technology has important application in the fields of high-speed optical communication, optical fiber sensing, metering science, basic research and the like. Existing light wavesLong measurement systems, for the most part, are based on classical optical interference or diffraction principles. For example, a spectrometer based on the michelson interference principle, which is the main stream, calibrates the wavelength of light to be measured by comparing the input wavelength with an internal reference standard wavelength. Such wavemeters are characterized by high measurement accuracy, but require a high stroke of the moving parts, e.g. up to 10-6On the order of magnitude of accuracy, the stroke of the moving part is about 15mm for a 633nm wavelength, and therefore it is not suitable for use in a working environment susceptible to mechanical vibrations. For another example, in a laser wavelength meter based on the ferox interference, since an optical system of the laser wavelength meter needs to couple more optical elements, the difficulty of optical tuning and optical path alignment is high, and the period and phase of the interference pattern are measured by finding the zero position of the interference fringe by a digital filtering method from the electrical signal output by the photodetector to determine the period and phase of the interference pattern, and then calculating to obtain the wavelength of the laser to be measured. Therefore, the measuring speed is only 2-3 times/second, and the application of the wavelength meter in the rapid real-time measurement control is limited. In addition, the laser wavelength monitoring device based on the etalon roughly adjusts the output wavelength of the laser according to the theoretical control gain medium temperature, adjusts the temperature of the etalon to be set temperature, and obtains the output laser wavelength according to the etalon transmission efficiency. Since the free spectral range of the etalon is narrow, it is necessary to specify within which free spectral range of the etalon the output wavelength falls. The optical fiber type laser wavelength meter is manufactured based on the photoelectric couple effect of the Fe transparent hollow cathode lamp, the precision of the calibrated wavelength can reach 0.01pm, but the wavelength measuring device comprises a grating monochromator, a high-sensitivity CCD (charge coupled device) light receiver, a wavelength calibrating device, a wavelength precision measuring device and the like, so the structure is relatively complex, and the cost is higher. In addition, in a wavemeter using a diffraction grating and a CMOS (or CCD) matrix photoreceiver, although there is no moving part, since the CMOS matrix as the receiver is expensive and the resolution of the light wave is affected by the density of the matrix arrangement, the wavemeter with higher accuracy is more expensive. Generally speaking, the existing wavelength measuring instrument is generally in the current situation that the high precision is expensive, or the large volume is inconvenient to carry, and the wavelength measuring instrument with high precision, low cost and light volume is rarely seenThe instrument reports.

Detailed Description
The invention is further explained in detail with the accompanying drawings and the embodiments; however, the high-precision laser wavelength measuring instrument based on the ramp filter of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, the invention relates to a high-precision laser wavelength measuring instrument based on a ramp filter, comprising: the device comprises an optical fiber flange 2, an optical attenuator 3, a 1550nm narrow line width light source 4, a coupler 5, an isolator 6, a gain flattening filter 7 and a wavelength monitoring component 8; the wavelength monitoring component 8 is formed by connecting a ramp filter 801 and a photodetector 802.
The method comprises the steps that a detected light source 1 is connected to a laser wavelength measuring instrument through an optical fiber flange 2, an optical attenuator 3 is connected to the optical fiber flange 2 in the laser wavelength measuring instrument at first, the optical power of the detected light source 1 is properly attenuated, the optical power input to the wavelength measuring instrument is guaranteed to be in a reasonable range, and the wavelength measuring instrument is prevented from being damaged due to too large input optical power.
The optical signal of the measured light source 1 is transmitted to the wavelength monitoring component 8 through the optical attenuator 3, the coupler 5, the isolator 6 and the gain flattening filter 7. The isolator 6 is used for preventing the echo in the optical path from causing interference and damage to the 1550nm narrow linewidth calibration light source 4 and the measured light source 1. The bandwidth of the gain flattening filter 7 covers the C-band (1528 nm-1565 nm) of optical fiber communication, which is about 40nm, so that the light input from the light source 1 to the wavelength monitoring component 8 has good flatness in the whole band, thereby improving the accuracy of wavelength measurement.
The specific explanation for monitoring the laser wavelength with the ramp filter is as follows: the wavelength monitoring component 8 is used for receiving and monitoring the wavelength of the detected light source 1. The bandwidth of the ramp filter 801 covers the C-band (1528 nm-1565 nm) of fiber-optic communication, which is about 40nm, so that the optical signal input to the wavelength monitoring component is included in the bandwidth of the ramp filter 801. The optical signal is flat in waveform after passing through the gain flattening filter 7, and the optical power of the light with different wavelengths is almost the same. After passing through the ramp filter 801, the optical power of the light with different wavelengths changes, and the light is converted into an electrical signal by the photodetector 802 for output. And calculating real-time wavelength and corresponding parameters through data acquisition and AD conversion, comparing the real-time wavelength and the corresponding parameters with the standard wavelength and the corresponding parameters recorded by the wavelength calibration light source, and calculating and reading the real-time light wavelength value output by the laser to be detected according to the real-time wavelength value.
The specific explanation for wavelength calibration using a 1550nm narrow linewidth light source is as follows: the 1550nm narrow line width light source 4 is used for calibration of a wavelength measuring instrument and calibration of standard wavelength, wherein the central wavelength is 1550.1200nm, and the line width is in KHz magnitude. When the wavelength measuring instrument is started, the fact that no laser to be measured is connected to the instrument is ensured. The calibration light source 4 emits a narrow linewidth laser with a center wavelength of 1550.1200nm, and the laser enters the wavelength monitoring component 8 through the first coupler 5, the isolator 6 and the gain flattening filter 7. The optical signal passing through the ramp filter 801 is converted into an electrical signal by the photodetector 802, and the real-time wavelength and corresponding parameters are calculated through data acquisition and AD conversion. Comparing the light wavelength value with a preset standard wavelength, and calculating a compensation parameter when the deviation between the light wavelength value and the preset standard wavelength is greater than a preset deviation threshold (0.5 pm in the embodiment), so as to perform data compensation on the wavelength monitoring component. Repeating the process, and measuring the real-time wavelength of the calibration light source again until the deviation is smaller than a preset deviation threshold (0.5 pm in the embodiment) of the measuring instrument, which indicates that the measuring instrument is calibrated; so that the 1550nm narrow linewidth calibration light source can be closed to monitor the wavelength of the light source to be detected.
The above embodiments are only used to further illustrate the high-precision laser wavelength measuring instrument based on the ramp filter of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments according to the technical spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
