Reference numeral 5 denotes a light source composed of, for example, a He-Ne laser oscillator, and reference numeral 6 denotes an incident optical system. The incident optical system 6 converges incident light from the light source 5 so as to be minimum at the center of the preform 1. 7a and 7b are mirrors, 8 is a screen for forming a projected image of the outgoing light 9 emitted from the preform 1, 10 is a TV camera for observing the projected image projected on the screen 8, and 11 is a projection obtained by the TV camera 10. This is a control unit for calculating the refractive index distribution by calculating the emission angle from the position of the image. This entire apparatus is installed in a constant temperature room set to the measurement temperature of the preform 1. FIG. 3 shows an enlarged view of the cell 2. The cell 2 is a rectangular parallelepiped container, and has a lid 2a and a window 21 made of mechanically polished quartz glass on its bottom surface. The preform 1 is mounted through its side. A matching oil 3 having a refractive index substantially equal to that of the outermost periphery of the preform 1 is provided inside the cell 2.
And a jacket 22 containing a liquid medium 23 is attached to the outside of the cell 2. As shown in FIG.
The jacket 22 is connected to a liquid temperature adjusting container 31 via a medium inflow pipe 24 and a medium outflow pipe 25, and a circulation circuit of the liquid medium 23 is formed. 36 is a pump. A sensor 32 of a temperature detector 33 for measuring the temperature of the matching oil 3 is mounted inside the cell 2. A temperature controller 35 for adjusting the temperature of the liquid medium 23 based on the signal is connected to the temperature detector 33, and the temperature controller 34 accommodates the temperature controller 34. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control unit 11. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 12 denotes a frame memory for storing data of projected images 40 to 42 (see FIG. 6) on the screen 8 observed by the TV camera 10, and 13 denotes a binary approximation of the data stored in the frame memory 12. Calculating means 14 for calculating the intersection of the straight line obtained by the calculating means 13 and a plane perpendicular to the central axis 1a of the preform 1 and through which the incident light passes, and 15 is the intersection of the intersection calculated by the position calculating means 14. This is an emission angle calculation means for calculating the emission angle φ from the coordinates. Reference numeral 16 denotes a refractive index distribution calculating means for calculating the refractive index distribution of the preform 1 based on the output angle φ calculated by the output angle calculating means, and 17 denotes an output means comprising a display unit and a recording unit. The measurement of the refractive index distribution of the preform 1 is performed by installing the entire measurement apparatus in a constant temperature room set within ± 1 ° C. with respect to the measurement temperature. Further, the liquid medium 23 is circulated by driving the pump 36 of the temperature control device, and the temperature of the matching liquid 3 is adjusted within ± 0.1 ° C. with respect to the measured temperature. The light transmitted from the light source 5 passes through a plane P perpendicular to the central axis 1a of the optical fiber preform 1 as shown in FIG. 2, is reflected by a mirror 7a, enters the preform 1, and is refracted. Out. The outgoing light 9 passing through the preform 1 is reflected by the mirror 7b, and reaches the screen 8 perpendicular to the light emitted through the cell 2 and the matching oil 3 when the preform 1 is not present. The points a, b, and c of the incident light and the outgoing light 9 exist on the plane P when there is no change in the refractive index in the axial direction of the preform 1, but are actually scattered by the preform 1 Projected as shown. The projected images 40 to 42 are observed by the TV camera 10, and the output signals are taken into the frame memory 12. Next, the frame memory
The data of each projection image stored in 12 is binarized by the arithmetic means 13 and linear approximation is performed by the least squares method to obtain an approximate straight line 20 shown in FIG. Then, the approximate straight line is
20 and the preform 1 of the central axis 2 and the plane in which incident light passes in the vertical, i.e. obtain the intersection y c and y axis shown in FIG. 6, through the absence of the preforms 1, i.e. the cell 2 and the matching oil 3 intersection y c a projected image of the emitted light as a reference point 0
The emission angle φ is calculated by the emission angle calculation means 15 from the coordinate values of, and the calculated emission angle φ is stored in the memory 18. This operation is performed at each position in the radial direction of the preform 1 while moving the moving table 4, and the emission angle φ at each position is obtained and stored in the memory 18. Each output angle φ stored in the memory 18 is sent to the refractive index distribution calculating means 16 to calculate the refractive index distribution n (r) and sent to the output means 17. Even if the temperature of the matching liquid 3 fluctuates during measurement due to, for example, heat generated from the measuring device, the matching liquid 3
Is constantly measured by the sensor 32, and is constantly maintained by adjusting the liquid temperature of the circulating liquid medium 23 by the temperature control unit 35. Therefore, the fluctuation of the refraction angle between the matching liquid 3 and the preform 1 or the quartz glass window 21 is suppressed,
An accurate refractive index distribution can be obtained without variation in the emission angle φ. As described above, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the result of measuring the relationship between the incident position r of the preform 1 having the maximum refractive index n 1 of the core and the refractive index n 2 of the clad and the exit angle φ is shown in FIG. Shown in Then, the refractive index distribution n is determined by the emission angle φ shown in FIG.
When (r) was obtained, the characteristics shown in FIG. 9 could be obtained. This measurement is repeated 30 times to obtain a relative refractive index difference Δ Δ = (n 1 −n 2 ) × 100 / n 1 represented by the following formula, and a standard deviation σ of the relative refractive index difference Δ is calculated to obtain a relative refractive index. As a result of normalization with the difference Δ, (σ / Δ) = 0.001 was obtained. In the above embodiment, the screen 8 and the TV camera are used.
Although the case of observing the projected image of the emitted light has been described in 10, the same operation as in the above embodiment can be achieved even if the projected image is observed by the image sensor.
