Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of measuring equipment, in particular to a coherent polarization analyzer and a measuring method.
Background
In recent years, with the development of coherent optical fiber communication, polarization multiplexing has been emphasized, and therefore a receiving apparatus capable of detecting both a phase and a polarization state, that is, a coherent stokes receiver, has become a new demand. On the other hand, among the optical fiber sensing technologies, the distributed Acoustic wave sensor das (distributed Acoustic sensor) and the phase-based optical time domain reflectometry technology have been widely used in the fields of earthquake, intrusion prevention fence, pipeline leakage monitoring, etc., and they are a phase-based optical fiber sensing technology. A sensor capable of detecting both phase change and polarization state change has become a new need.
Especially when the optical fiber is used as a sensing element, when the optical fiber is subjected to the external environment (stress, vibration, temperature), the optical fiber changes from an isotropic medium to an anisotropic medium, and the dielectric constant (or refractive index) of the optical fiber changes from a single constant to a second-order tensor. This second order tensor can fully reflect the direction of the external action (stress or vibration) and the relative magnitude of each component. Previous DAS systems only detect the longitudinal component of stress or external effects along the fibre, and cannot detect the lateral effect of the external forces on the fibre, and therefore the direction of the external forces. The external lateral action on the fiber causes a change in polarization state. Therefore, the magnitude and direction of the action can be detected comprehensively only by detecting the change of the polarization state and the overall phase simultaneously.
The existing measurement method is implemented by using two independent interferometers and a polarization analyzer respectively, so that a unit to be measured needs to be switched between the two instruments, the polarization and the phase are sensitive to optical fiber connection, and the optical fiber switching causes the polarization state and the phase to change, thereby causing inaccurate measurement.
In summary, it can be seen that a comprehensive coherent polarization analyzer capable of detecting both phase and polarization state without switching optical fibers is a current urgent need.

[ example 2 ]
Whereas embodiment 1 can only measure the optical unit 8 under test with one input port and one output port, it is sometimes necessary to measure the optical unit 8 under test with only one port, which serves as both the input port and the output port. Example 2 was designed by the present invention.
