The existing spectrometers can be classified into three types, i.e., visible light type, infrared type and ultraviolet type spectrometers according to the wavelength ranges of light waves measured by the existing spectrometers, and can be mainly classified into prism dispersion type, grating dispersion type, fourier transform type and the like according to the light splitting mode of the existing spectrometers. The spectrometer based on the prism light splitting mainly utilizes different refractive indexes of light rays with different wavelengths in a prism material to realize dispersion, the resolution of the spectrometer is limited by the refractive index and the diffraction limit of the material, and the spectrometer based on the grating light splitting utilizes a grating as a dispersion element, and the resolution of the spectrometer is also limited by the grating density and the diffraction limit. Compared with a prism dispersion type spectrometer and a grating dispersion type spectrometer, the Fourier spectrometer has the advantages of high luminous flux, high spectral resolution and the like, and the theoretical resolution is infinite, so that the Fourier spectrometer is widely applied to various fields.
However, the fourier spectrometer needs a long movement distance in order to achieve high resolution, so that the size of the fourier spectrometer is usually large and the fourier spectrometer includes a moving element, and it is difficult to simultaneously satisfy the requirements of high spectral resolution and a compact structure.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
As shown in fig. 1, a spectral measurement system based on a spin high fiber (optical fiber). The narrow-band polychromatic light source to be measured for the first time passes through a band-pass filter, light with a specific frequency spectrum passes through the band-pass filter, the light after the filter is converted into linearly polarized light through the polarizer, the linearly polarized light is coupled into the optical fiber, and the monochromatic components of the polychromatic light are distributed on the cross section of the output end of the optical fiber in a spatial circumferential manner through the dispersion effect of the optical fiber. Then the dispersed polychromatic light passes through an analyzer which is placed on a fixed rotating device, and the rotating device drives the analyzer to rotate at equal intervals with a certain step angle. Finally, the light energy after the action of the analyzer is coupled into an optical power meter, the total optical power under each rotation angle is measured, and the spectral details of the incident light source can be obtained after mathematical calculation.
The optical fiber spinning-based spectrometer and the spectral measurement method can realize the high-resolution measurement of the spectrum under a compact structure, have almost infinite resolution theoretically, and are particularly suitable for the measurement of narrow-band spectrum.
When the rotating device drives the analyzer to rotate at equal intervals with a fixed step angle, the step angle is set to be delta theta rad, and the polarization azimuth angle of the polarized light subjected to dispersion action of the optical fiber changes relative to the analyzer, so that the optical power detected by the optical power meter changes finally. If the spectral function of the incident light source is f (λ) and the spectral function after dispersion by the optical fiber is g (λ), the emergent light power after the action of the analyzer has the following functional relationship with the spectral function and the step angle of the incident light source:
Figure BDA0003238227080000041
wherein theta is 0 Is the angle theta between the polarization direction of the polychromatic light and the transmission axis of the analyzer i For the total angle of rotation of the rotary device after i times of rotation, i.e. theta i I Δ θ. k (λ) z is the rotation angle of polarization azimuth angle of monochromatic light with different wavelengths after the action of the optical fiber with length z, k (λ) is the dispersion coefficient of the optical fiber, the size of k (λ) is determined by the characteristic parameters of the optical fiber and the wavelength λ of the light wave, and k (λ) ═ k under a narrow spectrum width 0 + a λ. When the rotating device rotates once, the total optical power data, namely the number of sampling points, is equal to 2 pi/delta theta.
Equation (1) can be expressed in matrix form as:
Figure BDA0003238227080000051
the rotation-transposed pitch angle Δ θ is given during the measurement, and the unknowns in equation (2) above are k (λ #) 1 )z+θ 0 -k(λ m )z+θ 0 、f(λ 1 )-f(λ m ) And m determines the subdivision multiple of the incident light source spectrum, the total unknown number is 2m, and the equation theoretically has least square solution only by satisfying the total rotation times, namely the total sampling times n is more than 2m, and finally realizes the m-time subdivision of the light source spectrum.
The effect of the spin fiber on the polychromatic light is shown in fig. 2, the polarized polychromatic light is dispersed according to the polarization azimuth angle of the polarized polychromatic light on the cross section of the optical fiber through the effect of the spin fiber, that is, the monochromatic light of each frequency component is dispersed and distributed along the circumferential direction in space, and the longer the length of the spin fiber is, the more the spectrum of each frequency component is dispersed, so that even the spectrum with very narrow spectrum width can be dispersed through the enough long spin fiber, thereby detecting the spectrum.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and that any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
