Instrument.
Background technique
In optical fiber transmission process, the energy of light not fully concentrates in fibre core light, some light is to pass through covering
Transmission.So people use mode field diameter rather than core diameter as description single mode optical fiber in luminous energy intensity physical quantity.Mould field
Diameter characterizes distribution of the basic mode light in single mode optical fiber fibre core, the size and its tolerance of mode field diameter and the company of optical fiber
Connecing loss, transverse property etc. has close relationship.Furthermore according to mode field diameter with the change curve of wavelength, may be used to determine
The cutoff wavelength of single mode optical fiber, and the abbe number of optical fiber can be estimated.Therefore in the development of optical fiber, the stretching of optical fiber, optical fiber
In the practical applications such as stranding, laying optical cable and construction connecting, require to carry out precise measurement to mode field diameter.
Measuring instrument currently used for mode field diameter parameter is mainly optical fiber comprehensive parameter tester, and principle is based on can
Variable orifice shot, by the test to optical power under different pore size under turntable with holes, numerical integration obtains the mode field diameter number of optical fiber
Value.Specific measuring principle is as shown in Figure 2:
The optical system of device is made of micropositioning stage, lens system and photodetector, is mainly characterized by micropositioning stage
Between lens system, it is mounted with a turntable vertical with optical axis, i=0,1 ..., n holes of different sizes are provided on turntable
Diameter diaphragm, radius xi, tested optical fiber end face is D with a distance from disk, and the far field half-angle corresponding to each hole is θi, numerical aperture
Diameter is sin θi.The rotation of turntable can be such that the center of these circular holes falls on optical axis.When measurement, turntable is rotated in order, is measured
By the optical power P (x) of respective aperture x, mode field diameter is then calculated according to formula (1).
In formula:X=Dtan θ；
The distance (mm) of D --- fiber exit end face to aperture center；
X --- aperture radius (mm)；
θ --- angle (o) of the fiber exit end face to bore edges line and optical axis；
P (x) --- through the optical power (mW) in the hole that radius is x；
Pmax--- the optical power (mW) when through maximum diameter of hole.
Variable orifice shot requires own optical system to have sufficiently large numerical aperture, is able to satisfy " the full note of tested optical fiber
Enter " condition.Circular hole quantitative requirement on turntable at least 12, and diameter is different, and these circle hole radius are to tested light
The numerical aperture of fibre outgoing end face subtended angle wants that 0.02~0.4 can be covered.
The advantages of variable orifice shot is that device composition is relatively easy, and measuring speed is fast.But the program there are two aspect
Disadvantage: 1) Instrument measuring precision and the aperture number on turntable are closely related, the aperture number of turntable with holes 19~23 it
Between, sampled point is very few, causes sampling precision inadequate；2) turntable positioning accuracy in rotary course is relatively low, according to variable orifice shot
Measuring principle, rotation turntable require the center of circle in aperture parallel with optical axis in the process.But there can be aperture during actual rotation
The phenomenon that center of circle and optical axis deviation, causes instrument test repeatability not high, and the franchise of instrument is even as high as 0.5 μm.
