Detailed Description
The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a preferred embodiment of the fast and slow axis direction detecting device.
A fast-slow axis direction detection device is used for detecting the fast-slow axis direction of a quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected on an optical chip 210, and comprises a polarized light input module 110, a polarizer 120 and an optical detection module 130 which are sequentially arranged, wherein the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected is arranged between the polarized light input module 110 and the polarizer 120; the polarized light input module 110 generates circularly polarized light and transmits the circularly polarized light to the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected, so as to form linearly polarized light in a polarization direction and transmits the linearly polarized light to the polarizer 120, and the polarizer 120 only allows the linearly polarized light formed by the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected which is correctly or incorrectly installed in the fast-slow axis direction to be received by the light detection module 130.
The polarization state of the output polarized light is changed through the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected, so that the fast and slow axis directions of the linearly polarized light of the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected which is correctly installed and the linearly polarized light of the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected which is wrongly installed are different, and only the linearly polarized light in the fast and slow axis directions is allowed to pass through the polarizer 120, so that whether the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected is correctly installed or not is identified. Only for the detection of the direction of the fast and slow axes, namely whether the installation direction of the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected is correct or not is identified, other functions are abandoned, so that the functions are more single, and the specific requirements of users are met; meanwhile, the operation is simpler, the labor cost is low, the whole device is simple in structure, low in cost and low in later maintenance difficulty, and the device is suitable for large-scale popularization and use; and, the detection object specially used for the specific setting, namely the quarter wave plate 220 to be detected on the detection light chip 210, is only installed correctly and installed incorrectly, and the detection success rate is very high.
In this embodiment, and referring to fig. 2, the processor 140 and the memory, the memory stores a first condition indicating that the installation is correct and a second condition indicating that the installation is incorrect, the first condition and the second condition match that the optical detection module 130 receives the optical signal or does not receive the optical signal, the processor 140 is connected to the optical detection module 130, and determines whether the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected is installed correctly or not according to the stored information of the memory.
Specifically, a preferred embodiment is provided. The polarizer 120 only allows linear polarization formed by the quarter wave plate 220 to be detected which is correctly installed in the fast and slow axis direction, the light detection module 130 is connected with the processor 140, when the light detection module 130 detects a light signal, the detection signal is sent to the processor 140, when the processor 140 receives the detection signal within a preset time, the memory is queried, and a first condition corresponding to the detection signal in a matching manner is obtained, that is, the quarter wave plate 220 to be detected is correctly installed. Subsequently, the user can know that the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected is correctly installed through interactive functional modules such as an indicator light, a display or a power amplifier. The whole device realizes intelligent identification, has simple integral structure, simple manufacture and maintenance, low cost and high detection efficiency, and is a detection device with very high cost performance.
In this embodiment, the light detection module 130 includes a photodetector or a frequency doubling photosensitive film. The principle of the optical detector is that the conductivity of an irradiated material is changed due to radiation, so that whether an optical signal is received or not is obtained; based on the photoelectric effect, the thermal detector absorbs the optical radiation energy based on the material, then the temperature rises, thereby changing the electrical property of the thermal detector. The frequency doubling photosensitive piece can be observed from the outside, whether an optical signal is received or not can be known through the brightness of the frequency doubling photosensitive piece, and the frequency doubling photosensitive piece is more suitable for manual operation and can be used by combining with image processing equipment.
In this embodiment, the optical chip 210 is a planar optical waveguide chip. The planar optical waveguide chip can be used in a coherent receiver and can also be used in other wavelength division multiplexing devices such as an AWG (arrayed waveguide grating) and the like.
As shown in fig. 3, the present invention provides a preferred embodiment of the fast and slow axis direction detecting device.
The polarized light input module 110 includes a polarization maintaining laser 111, a polarization maintaining fiber 112 and an output quarter wave plate 114, wherein the polarization maintaining laser 111 provides a linearly polarized light source and is subjected to polarization maintaining.
The transmission of the fiber, through the output quarter wave plate 114, forms circularly polarized light.
Specifically, a linearly polarized light source is generated in the polarization maintaining laser 111, the polarization maintaining fiber 112 transmits linearly polarized light, and the polarization maintaining fiber 112 can solve the problem of polarization state change, but cannot eliminate the birefringence phenomenon in the fiber, and on the contrary, through the design of the geometric dimension of the fiber, a stronger birefringence effect is generated to eliminate the influence of stress on the polarization state of incident light. Therefore, the linearly polarized light passes through the output quarter wave plate 114 to form circularly polarized light, and is incident on the quarter wave plate 220 to be detected.
In this embodiment, the surface of the ferrule 113 of the polarization maintaining fiber 112 is attached to the output quarter-wave plate 114. The ferrule 113 is a connector, and is a detachable and classified optical fiber connector, so that the connection, conversion and scheduling of the optical channel are more flexible, and the optical communication system can be debugged and maintained. The surface of the ferrule 113 of the polarization maintaining fiber 112 is attached to the output quarter wave plate 114, so that the whole structure is more compact, and the polarization maintaining fiber 112 and the output quarter wave plate 114 are integrally arranged, so that the optical path transmission is more stable.
Preferably, the fast and slow axis directions of the output quarter wave plate 114 are at an angle of 45 degrees to the panda eye direction of the polarization maintaining fiber 112. The purpose is to match with the quarter wave plate 220 to be detected on the optical chip 210, so that the fast and slow axis directions of the linear polarization light forming the incident light detection module 130 have larger difference, and the detection result accuracy degree of the whole device is improved. Specifically, the fast-slow axis direction of the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected when the quarter-wave plate is correctly installed is perpendicular to the fast-slow axis direction of the output quarter-wave plate 114, and the polarizer 120 only allows linear polarization in which the fast-slow axis direction is the same as the fast-slow axis direction of the output light source of the polarization maintaining laser 111; alternatively, the fast-slow axis direction of the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected when the quarter-wave plate is correctly installed is the same as the fast-slow axis direction of the output quarter-wave plate 114, and the polarizer 120 only allows linear polarization with the fast-slow axis direction perpendicular to the fast-slow axis direction of the output light source of the polarization maintaining laser 111.
More specifically, referring to fig. 4 and fig. 5, the fast-slow axis direction of the output quarter-wave plate 114 forms an angle of 45 degrees with the panda eye direction of the polarization maintaining fiber 112, which is a clockwise 45 degree angle, the fast-slow axis direction of the to-be-detected quarter-wave plate 220 when being correctly installed is perpendicular to the fast-slow axis direction of the output quarter-wave plate 114, and the linear polarization 310 incident to the output quarter-wave plate 114 is perpendicular to form a circularly polarized light 320, and the linear polarization 330 output by the to-be-detected quarter-wave plate 220 is also perpendicular to the direction; and the fast-slow axis direction of the quarter wave plate 220 to be detected when the quarter wave plate is installed incorrectly is consistent with the fast-slow axis direction of the output quarter wave plate 114, the linearly polarized light 310 incident to the output quarter wave plate 114 is in the vertical direction to form circularly polarized light 320, and the linearly polarized light 340 output by the quarter wave plate 220 to be detected is in the horizontal direction. And, the polarizing plate 120 allows passage of linearly polarized light in a vertical direction.
In the present embodiment, a collimating lens 150 is disposed between the output quarter-wave plate 114 and the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected. The collimating lens 150 is an instrument capable of transforming the light from each point in the aperture stop into a parallel collimated light beam, and if the output quarter-wave plate 114 and the quarter-wave plate 220 to be detected are close enough, the collimating lens 150 is not required.
In this embodiment, the polarization maintaining laser 111 is a 1550nm polarization maintaining laser. The method has the following advantages: 1. high power, short pulses; 2. high beam quality; 3. the reliability is high and the price is low; 4. volume size.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention, but rather as embodying the invention in a wide variety of equivalent variations and modifications within the scope of the appended claims.
