If the active length that known triggering interferometer 4 postpones optical fiber is L, refractive index n is that can find out interference signal to touch every time The laser light source frequency interval Δ ν of hair is:
Wherein τtDelay time of the acute pyogenic infection of finger tip light in postponing optical fiber, c is the light velocity;Then it according to laser swept frequency range δ f, obtains Go out the data points N once detected:
Known laser swept frequency range is tested the group index n of silica-based waveguides 13g, the spatial resolution of measuring system can be obtained:
Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 is two silica-based waveguides, the 13 back reflection signal tested twice using apparatus of the present invention and method Curve, abscissa indicate that unit is the distance of m, and ordinate indicates that unit is the reflectivity of dB.This is that two root long degree are identical, passes through With the on piece silica-based waveguides that a batch technique is produced, apparent structural difference is also can't see under electron microscope, is respectively designated as Silica-based waveguides A and silica-based waveguides B.
It is special to the reflection of light beam according to signal curve as can be seen that two silica-based waveguides length are identical, but inside waveguide Point different from.Section start especially inside waveguide, there are one apparent reflection peaks by silica-based waveguides A, and silica-based waveguides B is whole Body does not have the appearance of very strong reflection peak.This illustrates that silica-based waveguides A in the position where reflection peak, may be asked due to manufacture craft It inscribes, the material inside waveguide is unevenly distributed, or since hackly defect occurs in this region side walls.And silicon substrate The propagation quality of light beam inside waveguide B will obviously can be more preferable.It can thus be seen that using apparatus of the present invention and method, it can be non-embedding Enter, nondestructively detect silica-based waveguides internal feature, possess good application prospect.
