Description

Device and method for detecting residual birefringence of BGO crystal
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of crystal optics, and particularly relates to a device and a method for detecting residual birefringence of isotropic crystal Bismuth Germanate (BGO).
Background
Bismuth Germanate (BGO) is an important isotropic optical crystal which theoretically has only one refractive index noHowever, due to thermal effects during crystal manufacturing and processing and mechanical stresses during optical cold working, residual stresses are generated, resulting in residual birefringence in the crystal, and ultimately BGO becomes an anisotropic crystal.
Since residual birefringence is randomly generated during the hot and cold working processes, residual birefringence is also non-uniform in magnitude, which has many adverse effects on the use of BGO crystals. Especially when BGO is used as an electro-optic crystal, it is equivalent to a random initial voltage, which seriously affects the measurement accuracy. Therefore, it is an important task to detect the residual birefringence of a BGO crystal in order to ensure crystal quality. However, how to use a simple device to realize the detection of the residual birefringence of the BGO crystal does not have a method and a corresponding device at present, and the present invention is proposed to solve the technical difficulty.
With regard to the measurement of birefringence, several patents and methods have been proposed, summarized as follows:
(1) measurement of the birefringence of the fiber. Related patents are CN 85100420B: single mode fiber birefringence measurement method (shanghai university of transportation), CN 201510504703: a single mode fiber linear birefringence measurement device and method based on polarization control (China mining university), CN 201510428064: a single-mode fiber linear birefringence measurement device and method (China mining university). These methods, however, have a natural drawback in that the birefringence of the optical fiber is a quantity related to the state of placement of the optical fiber, and these methods and devices are not suitable for the detection of crystal birefringence. Furthermore, patent CN 201210251508: the dynamic fiber birefringence measurement instrument is not an optical fiber but a textile fiber, but is limited to a fiber sample.
(2) Relevant patents to Hayntz instruments Inc: CN 1739007A: measurement of out-of-plane birefringence; CN 02825033: calibrating the precision of the birefringence measurement system; CN200380101656.2 birefringence measurement method of large sample; CN 200580036436. These patents are different from the present invention in that their application objects are large flat samples; secondly, the measurement methods are different, and the two beams of light are used as light sources and output of the two beams of light is detected simultaneously. As is well known, the birefringence phenomenon is a phenomenon in which one light beam passes through a birefringent material and is split into two light beams. Therefore, by measuring the birefringence, the degree of separation (or the spatial distance) between the two output beams can be directly measured. This approach is effective for conventional larger birefringent materials. However, in the case of BGO, which is an originally isotropic material and has only a very small residual birefringence, the two output beams are difficult to separate, and therefore, the method proposed in the above patent is not feasible at all. New methods need to be found. Furthermore, patent CN 96201855.4: the basic idea of a vertical birefringence measurement instrument (Zhejiang university) is to measure light and dark stripes of output light, which requires a large rotation angle of incident light, otherwise the light and dark stripes are not distinguished. The invention is different from the above methods in that a beam of light is injected, the polarization state of one beam of light is detected, and the two beams of light are not distinguished, or the detection is carried out under the condition of no bright and dark stripes. Therefore, the present invention is not inspired by these patents.
(3) Patent CN 201210088188: a polarization and birefringence measurement system (institute of optoelectronics and technology, Chinese academy of sciences). Although a beam of light is adopted for irradiation, the detection technology adopts three wave plates and an image acquisition card to image emergent light on the acquisition card, and polarization and birefringence information is obtained through image processing and analysis. The function of the image acquisition card is to acquire the light intensity distribution of the output light, which is a little more detailed than the aforementioned patent, and does not relate to the measurement of the polarization state.
(4) Related patents proposed by the Shanghai ray apparatus of the Chinese academy of sciences include CN 201210193165: a linear birefringence measurement device and measurement method; and CN 201310250980: linear birefringence measurement device and measurement method.
The invention patent CN201210193165 has several similarities with the present invention, all of which are single beam injection, and the injected polarization states are all circularly polarized light. The difference between the invention and it is: (1) the measurement principle is different. The patent rotates the crystal 45 degrees around the beam axis, and because the light injected into the crystal is circularly polarized light, the effect of the rotation around the axis is not obvious, so that the tiny residual birefringence of BGO cannot be measured; according to the invention, a horizontal rotating crystal is adopted, the incidence angle is changed, and birefringence information is obtained by detecting the change of polarization state output when different incidence angles are injected; (2) the detection method is different: the patent uses a Wollaston lens to divide an output beam into two sub-beams, and then the two sub-beams are respectively received by a double-quadrant detector. Thus, the invention should not be considered as "naturally occurring".
The invention patent CN201310250980 is obviously different from the invention patent. The invention adopts a reflective detection structure, namely a light source and a light detector are positioned at the same side of a sample. In each of the other patents, the sample is placed between a light source and a detector, and transmitted light is detected; while this invention detects reflected light, it requires two sets of detection cells. Therefore, the idea of the invention does not come from the invention.
(5) Invention patent CN 201310019042: stress and birefringence measuring instrument and measuring method (Qinghua university) based on cross-polarized solid laser. This patent measures the birefringence of a sample by placing the sample to be measured in the oscillation loop (resonant cavity) of a laser and measuring the beat frequency of the laser output light (two frequencies of light) due to birefringence. Therefore, the present invention is not derived from its elicitation.
(6) Invention patent CN 201510549341.9: an apparatus for measuring micro linear birefringence by cascade of elasto-optical modulation and electro-optical modulation (university of north and middle). The invention has several similarities with the invention, both of which use a beam of light to detect the transmitted light. However, the difference is also large, in particular: (1) the light injected into the sample is linearly polarized light and passes through an elastic light modulator (phase modulation); (2) on the receiving side, the received light firstly passes through an electro-optical modulator and then reaches a light detector; (3) the sample was stationary. The invention is different from the method, the injected light is circularly polarized light, and phase modulation is not needed; in the measuring process, the sample is rotated by a small angle (the incident angle is changed); the detection end does not need an electro-optic modulator and is directly measured by a polarization analyzer.
The above summarizes several prior patents related to birefringence measurement. The present invention is different from them. In view of practical application, the crystal has a small angle of departure from normal incidence, and the residual birefringence of BGO is small and a random quantity, so that the light output from the crystal cannot be split into two beams or is difficult to split into two beams due to the change of angle, and therefore the effect of this small birefringence cannot be measured with either the two-beam scheme or the bright-dark scheme. Secondly, all solutions require a large angle of rotation, whether rotating the incident light source or rotating the sample in order to change the incident angle of the incident light. In practice, all of the above solutions cannot measure the effect of residual birefringence in the case of a crystal beam path at small angles from normal incidence. Moreover, all the schemes are too complex in structure and are not suitable for being used in the production process. In summary, it is a technical problem to be solved by the present invention to find a new measuring device and method using modern scientific instruments, simple structure and operation method.

The technical solution and the advantages of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following embodiments.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 1, the device comprises a light source 1, a polarizer 2, an 1/4 wave plate 3, a precision fine tuning frame 4, a BGO crystal to be tested 5, a polarization analyzer 6 and a computer 7.
The principle for realizing BGO crystal residual birefringence detection is as follows:
for BGO crystals,. epsilon.in the ideal case where there is no residual birefringence1=ε2=ε3=εo=no 2,ε4、ε5、ε6Are all 0 and are isotropic media. When considering residual birefringence, BGO becomes a symmetric anisotropic material with a permittivity tensor of:
Figure BDA0002088513870000071
due to the initial value of the main refractive index
Figure BDA0002088513870000072
Large and the residual birefringence is small, so the relative change of the main refractive index is not large and can be ignored; while the elements on the minor diagonal are due to epsilon4、ε5、ε6All theoretical values of (a) are 0, so any minor variation is not negligible. It is these slight changes that cause BGO to become an anisotropic medium. With the anisotropic medium, when incident light is incident in the direction of the crystal optical axis, the output polarization state does not change, whereas when incident light is not incident in the direction of the optical axis (the incident angle changes), the polarization state of the output light will change. The residual birefringence vector problem is studied next.
The wave vector of the light passing direction in the transformer is assumed to be in a coordinate system of a natural crystal axis of the anisotropic material
Figure BDA0002088513870000081
For ease of analysis, we will establish a wave vector
Figure BDA0002088513870000082
As a new z-axis (optical axis) coordinate system, the dielectric tensor ε of the BGO crystal having residual birefringence is requiredrAnd (5) carrying out coordinate transformation. And then its birefringence vector is determined.
As shown in fig. 3, the transformation of the three-dimensional coordinate system from the coordinate system X, Y, Z to the coordinate system X 'Y' Z 'can be regarded as that the coordinate system X, Y, Z is firstly rotated counterclockwise by an angle θ around the 001 direction (Z axis) of the crystal, and then rotated by an angle γ around the Y' axis, where θ is-pi/4 + Δ, and Δ is a deviation angle from the optical axis direction introduced by alignment error when light enters the BGO crystal (Δ is 0 at normal incidence, and hereinafter referred to as an incident angle Δ). In the same way, γ ═ pi/2 + δ, i.e., rotation around Y', also has a certain error. Through complicated derivation, the dielectric tensor of the BGO crystal is:
Figure BDA0002088513870000083
to confirm the existence of residual birefringence and the mathematical relationship, we first consider that there is no error in the rotation around the z-axis, i.e., θ ═ pi/4 and γ ═ pi/2 + δ, which can be obtained through complicated derivation, when the dielectric tensor of the BGO crystal is:
Figure BDA0002088513870000084
rewrite equation (3) to a quaternion, i.e.:
Figure BDA0002088513870000091
it can be seen from the formula (4) that the dielectric constant quaternion is absent
Figure BDA0002088513870000092
The directional component indicates that the BGO crystal has no optical activity. A large number of experiments show that the polarization state of emergent light only surrounds s of Bolga sphere2Shaft (
Figure BDA0002088513870000093
Axis) is rotated, can be known as about s1Shaft (
Figure BDA0002088513870000094
Axis) is negligible, so:
Figure BDA0002088513870000095
considering that equation (5) is independent of the incident angle δ, the following relationship can be obtained by simplification:
Figure BDA0002088513870000096
equation (4) can now be:
Figure BDA0002088513870000097
for BGO crystals, as described above
Figure BDA0002088513870000098
This condition was substituted for formula (6) to obtain:
ε6≈0(8)
Figure BDA0002088513870000099
the residual birefringence is thus calibrated, but in general, in the specific experiments, the rotation about the Y' axis is not subject to errors, but only to errors about the z axis, i.e., θ ═ pi/4 + Δ, γ ═ pi/2, so cos γ ═ 0, sin γ ═ 1 is substituted into equation (3) to yield:
Figure BDA00020885138700000910
as was previously demonstrated herein, it is possible to,
Figure BDA00020885138700000911
ε4=ε5=εeε 60, this is independent of the state of crystal placement, then:
Figure BDA0002088513870000101
consider the substitution of θ ═ pi/4 + Δ to simplify to:
Figure BDA0002088513870000102
in formula (12)
Figure BDA0002088513870000103
Representing the effect of residual birefringence of a BGO crystal, the output polarization state winds around s on the Poincare sphere as the angle of incidence Δ changes2The shaft rotates.
Further, since there is a simple correspondence between refractive index and dielectric constant, namely:
Er=N 2(13)
do not provide Er=εo+ErIn the formula
Figure BDA0002088513870000104

Figure BDA0002088513870000105
in this way, it can be seen that,
Figure BDA0002088513870000106
due to the fact that
Figure BDA0002088513870000107
Then
Figure BDA0002088513870000108
The residual birefringence vector is:

equation (16) shows that the residual birefringence vector is oriented in the direction s2 and not only in magnitude with respect to the crystal residual εeRelated to, and in the direction of light transmission of the crystalIt is related.
Figure BDA00020885138700001010
Then, in the known s1On the premise of f (Δ), ε can be obtained separatelyeAnd
Figure BDA00020885138700001011
the basic idea of residual birefringence measurement is to rotate the BGO crystal intentionally by a small angle around the (0,0,1) direction, observe the change in the polarization state of the output light, and finally solve the magnitude of residual birefringence of the BGO crystal according to equation (19).
An experimental system is shown in fig. 1, and 4 pieces of BGO crystals (numbered 1,2,3, and 4 from left to right) in the same batch are tested in the experimental process, so that the incident angle changes from 0 to 2.5 °, and the change of the polarization state of the obtained output light is shown in fig. 4.
It can be seen from FIG. 4 that the residual birefringence of the different crystals is different, and s is measured for this batch of BGO crystals1The relationship between the value of (d) and the incident angle Δ is shown in FIG. 5. from FIG. 5, it can be seen that the initial polarization states of different crystals are different, and therefore s of 4 crystals is1Are different from each other, and finally the residual birefringence n of the different crystals in Table 1 is obtained according to equation (17)eThe value of (c).

The full-automatic feedback system can further improve the measurement precision and save time.
The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical idea of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereby, and any modifications made on the basis of the technical scheme according to the technical idea of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
