Abstract

The present invention provides a method for improving the wavelength resolution of an optical performance monitor based on a raster and an array detector. An optical signal is input by the input port, an optical spectrum space of the optical signal is distributed on the array detecting plane by a light splitting component group, and measured data are analyzed and processed by the data processing part. The present invention is characterized in that optical spectrums which are distributed at the optical signal space are orderly and horizontally moved by a section of distance on the detecting plane, so that the same pixels can measure different wave length values. Particularly, the light input port uses an optical switch having a routing function to control the horizontal movement distance of the whole spectrum of the input optical signal on the detecting plane by controlling an included angle of the input ports of the adjacent optical signals. The present invention can be realized in modes, such as the equal spaced rotation of the raster angle in the light splitting component group, the equal spaced movement of the array detector, the equal spaced change of the direction of an incident angle, etc. The translational distance is one of N pixel line width.

One of method of described raising optical property monitor wavelength resolution is that the employing of light input end mouth has the photoswitch that function is selected on the road, the N of a photoswitch output port links to each other with N input port of chromatic dispersion part, photoswitch is gating N input port successively, light signal is input to successively in N the input port of chromatic dispersion part, from different input port input optical signals, make whole spectrum translation one segment distance on detection plane by successively.
Two of the method for described raising optical property monitor wavelength resolution is the angles by the grating in the equally spaced rotation beam splitter group, controls the corresponding segment distance of whole spectrum translation on detection plane, makes same pixel energy measure different wavelength value.
Three of the method for described raising optical property monitor wavelength resolution is equally spaced mobile detector arrays, makes same pixel energy measure different wavelength value.
Four of the method for described raising optical property monitor wavelength resolution is that N input port of chromatic dispersion part has fixing angle (this angle can have multiple different value) each other, from different input port input optical signals, make whole spectrum translation one segment distance successively on detection plane by successively.
The method of described raising optical property monitor wavelength resolution is translation 2-7 time successively on detection plane of spectrum with the light signal space distribution, makes same pixel energy measure 2-7 different wavelength value.
Be elected to when using photoswitch, select for use the photoswitch of 2-7 output port to link to each other with 2-7 input port of chromatic dispersion part, photoswitch is gating 2-7 input port successively.

Accompanying drawing 1 is to adopt to have the road to select photoswitch embodiment schematic diagram, the accompanying drawing 2 of function be to be that mobile array detection plane embodiment schematic diagram, Fig. 4 at interval is mobile array detection plane embodiment partial enlarged drawing at interval, the direction embodiment schematic diagram that Fig. 5 is equally spaced change incident angle by equally spaced rotating shutter embodiment schematic diagram, Fig. 3.10 is photoswitches among the figure, the 11st, and input waveguide, 11-1,11-2 are the fixing input waveguides of two angles, the 12nd, collimation lens, the 13rd, diffraction grating, the 14th, plus lens, the 15th, detection plane, the 16th, detector array, the 17th, data acquisition unit, the 18th, data-carrier store, the 19th, data processor, the 20th, the beam angle deflector, 1,2,3,4 is respectively the interface point between each pixel.
Embodiment
Be that example illustrates embodiment to adopt photoswitch at first: it is by the photoswitch of a 1 * N, and its N output terminal links to each other with N input port of chromatic dispersion part; Chromatic dispersion part with N input port, the corresponding different incident angle of different input ports is a corresponding different output spectrum translational movement spatially; By photoswitch gating N input port successively, successively from different input port input optical signals, after the beam splitter group by the chromatic dispersion part, the spectrum of the space distribution of light signal translation one segment distance successively on detection plane, the angle that the size of translation distance and adjacent input port are corresponding is relevant.Like this, same pixel can be measured the value of different wave length, by analysis, the processing of data processing section to measurement data, thereby makes wavelength resolution improve N doubly than original wavelength measured value.
For the ease of better the understanding of the present invention, we become two groups with one group of wavelength data, and to have the photoswitch embodiment of selecting function in the road with employing be that example is described the specific embodiment of the present invention in detail.As shown in Figure 1, photoswitch (0S) 10 is selected N=2, with pixel live width 25um, and sum of all pixels 512, the special circumstances of measure spectrum scope 32nm are told about principle of the present invention.Light signal is by the selection of photoswitch (OS) 10, flashlight enters by in 12 to the 15 beam splitter groups of forming by input waveguide 11-2 earlier, the chromatic dispersion of beam splitter group partly is used to realize the apart of different wave length light signal, and wavelength optical signals focused on the diverse location of detection plane, promptly the beam splitter group makes the diverse location place of the signal focus of different wave length in detection plane 15.The spectral range of 32nm is measured with 512 pixels, and the wavelength resolution of each pixel is 0.0625nm, and both the resolution on the detection plane was 0.0625nm/25um.16 is several pixels of detector array among Fig. 1, and 1,2,3,4 is respectively the interface point between each pixel, supposes the wavelength value with this pixel representative of average expression of the wavelength value of two-end-point, then put 2 and the wavelength value of putting the pixel representative between 3 be λ c=(λ 2+ λ 3)/2.If when input waveguide 11-2 imports, the wavelength value of putting 2 places is λ, and the wavelength value of putting 3 places is λ+0.0625nm.Point 2 and the wavelength value of putting the pixel representative between 3 are λ+0.0313nm, and point 3 and the wavelength value of putting the pixel representative between 4 are λ+0.0938nm, and point 1 and the wavelength value of putting the pixel representative between 2 are λ-0.0313.The value of measuring pixel successively can obtain one group of wavelength data that resolution is 0.0625nm.
Switches light is opened the light and 10 is made light signal enter the beam splitter group from waveguide 11-1, equally, the spectrum of flashlight is according to the diverse location place of different wavelength focus in detection plane, because input waveguide 11-1 and 11-2 have an angle, spectral position when waveguide 11-1 imports and when waveguide 11-2 imports does not overlap, but the certain distance of translation, the size of translation distance is relevant with the angle between two input waveguides.In Fig. 1, the angle of adjusting two input waveguides makes whole spectrum translation 12.5um to the right, and in this process, and all other element holding position is motionless.When importing by 11-1 like this, point 2 wavelength value that original wavelength value is λ become λ-0.0313nm, the wavelength value at point 3 places becomes λ+0.0313nm, the wavelength value of other each point representative reduces 0.0313nm successively, like this when importing by waveguide 11-1, point 2 and the wavelength value of putting the pixel representative between 3 become λ, and point 1 and the wavelength value of putting the pixel representative between 2 are λ-0.0625nm, and point 3 and the wavelength value of putting the pixel representative between 4 are λ+0.0625nm.The wavelength measurement data that it is 0.0625nm that the value of measuring pixel successively can obtain other one group of wavelength resolution, in two groups of wavelength datas, the wavelength sampled value differs 0.0313nm.
Each wavelength data of measuring is stored in the data-carrier store after by the data acquisition unit collection, and after two groups of wavelength data measurements were finished, data processor got up according to the big wisp wavelength combinations of wavelength value.Be the wavelength measurement of 0.0625nm by two Sub-resos like this, just obtained one group of wavelength measurement data that wavelength resolution is 0.0313nm, resolution is doubled.
If N input waveguide arranged, angle each other is to make whole spectrum translation 0.0625/N nm on detection plane, just can obtain the original wavelength measurement data of N times of wavelength resolution raising like this by N time measurement.
Core spirit of the present invention is to measure different wavelength value respectively with same pixel.Similarly; by equally spaced rotating shutter such as accompanying drawing 2; or equally spaced mobile detector array such as accompanying drawing 3; modes such as the direction of equally spaced change incident angle such as Fig. 5 can realize the raising of wavelength resolution equally; its embodiment and principle and first kind of embodiment are basic identical; no longer describe in detail, but all belong to protection scope of the present invention.
