Description

一种光纤偏振模色散测试系统及方法An optical fiber polarization mode dispersion testing system and method

技术领域Technical field

本发明涉及光通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种光纤偏振模色散测试系统及方法。The invention relates to the field of optical communication technology, and in particular to an optical fiber polarization mode dispersion testing system and method.

背景技术Background technique

单模光纤在理想情况下是仅支持一种模式的均匀介质,然而由于双折射,传播模式退化为采用正交偏振的两种传输模式,并定义了两个主要偏振态(PSP)。这两个PSP以不同的速度传播,到达光纤输出端的时间不同,由此导致脉冲展宽和信号失真。两个PSP到达光纤输出端的时间差称为差分群时延(DGD)。确定光纤的PMD可帮助确定光纤传输的容量,以及用于PMD补偿器的设计和控制。Single-mode fiber is ideally a homogeneous medium that supports only one mode. However, due to birefringence, the propagation mode degenerates into two transmission modes with orthogonal polarization and defines two primary states of polarization (PSP). The two PSPs propagate at different speeds and arrive at the fiber output at different times, resulting in pulse broadening and signal distortion. The time difference between two PSPs arriving at the fiber output is called differential group delay (DGD). Determining the PMD of an optical fiber can help determine the capacity of optical fiber transmission, as well as for the design and control of PMD compensators.

由国标GBT15972.48-2016光纤试验方法规范第48部分规定的光纤偏振模色散测试方法可知,目前常用的PMD测量方法包括干涉法。干涉法是将宽带光源经一个受测装置(DUT)发送至干涉仪中,常用的干涉仪如迈克尔逊干涉仪包括分光器、固定反射镜和可移动反射镜,分光器将光线分离为两束,固定反射镜和可移动反射镜各自反射一束光,然后再将两束光重新复合为复合光。由于可移动反射镜不断改变位置,改变一束光通过的光路长度,从而改变两个干涉臂之间的光程差,使两束光在复合时相干涉,复合光离开干涉仪后生成干涉图。在传统干涉法中,平均DGD值由干涉条纹包络计算获得。然而,获得的条纹包络是两个函数的组合,必须使用一种算法来试图去除不包含PMD信息的中心自相关峰值。通用干涉法则可以借助偏振分束器,获得没有中心峰值的干涉图。According to the optical fiber polarization mode dispersion test method specified in Part 48 of the national standard GBT15972.48-2016 Optical fiber test method specification, currently commonly used PMD measurement methods include interference methods. Interferometry is to send a broadband light source to an interferometer through a device under test (DUT). Commonly used interferometers such as Michelson interferometers include a beam splitter, a fixed reflector and a movable reflector. The beam splitter separates the light into two beams. , the fixed reflector and the movable reflector each reflect a beam of light, and then the two beams of light are recombined into composite light. Since the movable mirror constantly changes its position, changing the length of the optical path through which a beam of light passes, thereby changing the optical path difference between the two interference arms, causing the two beams of light to interfere when recombining, and the composite light will generate an interference pattern after leaving the interferometer. . In traditional interferometry, the average DGD value is calculated from the interference fringe envelope. However, the fringe envelope obtained is a combination of two functions, and an algorithm must be used to try to remove the central autocorrelation peak that does not contain PMD information. The universal interference law can be used to obtain an interference pattern without a central peak with the help of a polarizing beam splitter.

由于现有干涉法采用的干涉仪包括反射镜等光学元器件,存在将空间光耦合进光纤中较为困难、耦合效率低等问题,此外获得的干涉图还易受环境振动的影响。Since the interferometer used in the existing interferometry method includes optical components such as mirrors, it is difficult to couple spatial light into the optical fiber and the coupling efficiency is low. In addition, the obtained interference pattern is also susceptible to environmental vibrations.
