Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for measuring the diameter and/or diameter change of a glass fiber on the basis of Fabry-Perot resonances.
  • the main field of application of the invention includes the very accurate measurement of the diameter of unclad or clad glass fibers, plastic fibers and crystalline fibers in the 10 - 150 ⁇ m diamater range.
  • the invention relates also to an apparatus for carrying out the method.
  • This method makes possible to measure the diameter with ⁇ 0,25 ⁇ m accuracy, but in can be used only for fibers of small diameter because the number of the interference fringes in the angular distribution of the intensity increases very repidly when the diameter is increased, that makes the detection and evaluation difficult. Furthermore in order to reach high resolution a large photodiode array with 1000 elements or so is required and this together with the use of a microcomputer makes the method costly.
  • the fiber to be measured is scanned with a focused or unfocused laser beam in a plane being orthogonal to the fiber axis
  • the intensity of the scanned laser team is detected with a photodetector placed behind the fiber and the negative pulse generated by the "shadow" of the fibsr is evaluated.
  • the fiber diameter is determined from the time duration of this pulse knowing the scanning speed. The accuracy of this method is about ⁇ 0,5 ⁇ m, but this value becomes considerably higher when the diameter is small /10-20 ⁇ m/.
  • This method is called as "near- field resonant backscatter method" and it is based on the detection of the Fabry-Perot resonances and surface wave resonances observable in the backscattered from the fiber light intensity when the wavelength of the illuminating laser beam is tuned. An accuracy of ⁇ 0,01 ⁇ m was obtained using the detection of Faory- Perot resonances when performing comparative measurements of thick communication fibers.
  • the unclad glass fiber is illuminated with a laser beam through a beam splitter /semitra ⁇ sparent mirror/ and then the light rays backscattered in the same direction are directed by the beam splitter to an image forming optical system /e.g. microscope/ and the magnified image of the glass fiber is produced.
  • the image forming optical system e.g. microscope/ and the magnified image of the glass fiber is produced.
  • the light rays producing Fabry-perot resonances are spatially separated from thoose backscattered light rays that produce surface wave resonances and light rays to be detected are selected with a slit.
  • the selected light rays which arise from the same type of the backseat tering process are detected and the diameter is calculated from the wavelengths of the minima and maxima of the oackscat terec intensity when the wavelength is tuned.
  • the near-field resonant oackscatter method is applicable only in moderate extent to measurement of singly or pluraliy-clad fibers.
  • Glass fibers used in image transmitting fiber boundles generally have double cladding and their diameter falls in the 10-20 ⁇ m range.
  • Due to its high price the laser light source of tunable wavelength required to the implementation of the nearfield backscatter metnod itself limits the application field of the mathod.
  • the known diameter-measuring methods oescribed above are not capable to determine the fiber diameter with the required accuracy during the manufacturing /drawing/ process when it would be possible to prevent drawing a fiber of diameter differing from the prescribed value by proper control of the technological parameters of the manufacturing process.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and apparatus for the determination of the diameter and/or diameter changes, that eliminates the use of a laser of tunable wavelength, the nearfield imaging of the fiber by the Fabry-Perot scattered light, and that provides sufficient accuracy in measuring the diameter and makes possible the application of "value-hold" control at manufacturing glass fibers.
  • the above object is solved by a method, in the course of which the glass fiber to be measured is illuminated with a laser beam from side direction, and light rays oackscat tered in a predetermined direction are detected, and according to the invention the glass fiber is illuminated with a laser beam of constant wavelength making a small angle with a direction being orthogonal to the cylinder axis of the glass fiber, and light rays to ce detected are selected so that their direction makes the said small but negative angle with the direction oeing orthogonal to said cylinder axis, the far-field intensity of these selected backscattered light rays is detected, ano meanwhile the path-length inside the glass fiber of light rays to be detected and backscattered from the inner back surface of the glass fiber is changed.
  • the pathlength of light rays inside the fiber is changed by continuous adjusting the direction of the illuminating laser beam between two extreme angular positions, and the diameter is determined on the basis of the extreme values of the detected intensity and the angular positions of the illuminating laser beam corresponding to said extreme values of intensity.
  • the angle between the direction of the illuminating laser beam and the direction being orthogonal to the cylinder axis of the glass fiber is alowed to be in the 0,5o ...30o angle interval.
  • the glass fiber is illuminated by two laser beams produced by splitting the illuminating laser beam and theese beams have different angles of incidence / ⁇ 1 , ⁇ 2 /, the backscattered light rays arising from the two illuminating laser beams are detected separately, and the two angles of incidence are adjusted so that there should be prescribed, preferably 90o phase difference between the intensities of the detected light rays, and the path-length inside the glass fiber is changed by continuous displacement of the glass fiber in axial direction.
  • the axial speed of the glass fiber is controlled on the basis of one of the detected signals for keeping the fiber diameter constant, and furthermore the sign of the change of the speed is controlled on the basis of the second detected signal.
  • the illuminating laser beam has a polarization plane being orthogonal to the cylinder axis of the glass fiber.

  • Fig. 1 light rays backscattered at 180 degree angle are illustrated when a doubly-clad glass fiber 10 is illuminated with a laser beam. Illuminating light rays L being orthogonal to the axis of the glass fiber 10 are illustrated by parallel arrows in Fig. 1.
  • Rays I of the illuminating laser beam reach orthogonally the central part of the surface of the glass fiber 10, and these rays are partially reflected from the outer front surface, meanwhile the entering into the fiber part of them is also partially reflected at the inner back surface of the fider at 180 degree angle thus producing light rays II.
  • Rays III of the illuminating beam are also backscattered after multiple refractions at the claddings and reflection at the inner back surface.
  • light rays IV incident tangentially on the fiber are coupled into the fiber as surface light waves and they can be coupled out from the fiber 10 at the opposite side of the fiber thus producing 180 degree scattering.
  • the intensities of rays I and II are the largest among the intensities of rays I-IV, but neither the intensities of rays III and IV is negligiole.
  • the interference of rays I and II produces Fabry-Perot like interference, because the central part of the glass fiber can be regarded as an almost plane-parallel resonator.
  • Fig. 2 is a sketch showing the longitudinal cross-section of the fiber, where the illuminating laser beam L makes an angle ⁇ with the normal 3 to surface.
  • the outer and inner claddings have an indices of refraction of n 1 and n 2 and thicknesses of t 1 and t 2 , respec tively.
  • the innermost core of the fiber is characterized by a refractive index of n 3 and a diameter of 2.r.
  • the outer diameter of the whole fiber is d.
  • the laser beam L incident at an angle ⁇ is refracted at the claddings and its direction of propagation in the core makes an angle ⁇ with the normal of the surface.
  • the value of ⁇ is approximately valid for the claddings too, beacuse the claddings are relatively thin in comparison to the fiber diameter.
  • ⁇ denotes the wavelength of the laser beam L
  • m is an odd integer, which gives the order of the interference.
  • Fig. 5 a illustrates such an interference pattern produced by continuous scanning the angle of incidence ⁇ in case of a doubly-clad glass fiber of 12,2 ⁇ m diameter, when the polarization direction of the incident laser laser beam L is orthogonal to the fiber axis.
  • Fig. 5/b and 5/c are similar to Fig. 5/a, but they were taken in case of a polarization plane parallel to the fiber axis.
  • Eguation /3/ can be used for measuring the diameter d, but due to the error in the determination of the angles of minima /that is increased further by the effect of rays III and IV/ this kind of measurement gives the diameter by an error of 2-3 ⁇ m.
  • FIG. 6 a sketch of the arrangement of the first exemplary embodiment of the apparatus capable to carry out the method according to the invention.
  • a laser of constant frequency 11 is used as a light source which has an out-put laser beam 12 of small diameter and in the light path of it a beam deflector is arranged, which is an oscillating mirror 13 in the present case.
  • the plane of the oscillating mirror 13 can be altered between two extreme angular positions, and hence the laser beam 12 leaves the oscillating mirror 13 in the two extreme positions of it as a first deflected beam 14 and a second deflected beam 14', respectively.
  • the directions of the central rays of the first 14 and second 14 deflected beams make an angle ⁇ with each other, and the value of this angle is usually between 15 and 30 degrees.
  • a lens 15 is placed at a distance of twice focal length from the oscillating mirror in a manner that the optical axis 16 of this lens 15 coincides with the direction of the deflected beam generated at the middle angular position of the oscillating mirror, that is with the bisectrix of the angle ⁇ .
  • the bisectrix that is the optical axis 16 of the lens 15 crosses the glass fiber 10 to be measured at a distance being also egnal to twice the focal length from the glass fiber 10.
  • the lens 15 transfers the deflected laser beams towards the glass fiber 10 at the same angle as the beams leave the oscillating mirror 13.
  • Fig. 6 it can be observed, that the axis of the glass fiber 10 is in an inclined position in respect tothe optical axis 16 of lens 15.
  • the first deflected laser beam 14 is almost orthogonal to the fiber axis, the deviation of it is between -0,5 and -5 degree.
  • the second deflectec laser beam 14' makes an other angle with the fiber axis and this angle differs by ⁇ from the above mentioned angle being slightly less than the right angle.
  • a second lens 17 collects thoose light rays having the same reflection angle as the instantaneous angle of incidence of the illuminating deflected beam is.
  • the lers 17 is at a distance of twice the focal length from the glass fiber 10 and its optical axis intersects the glass fiber 10 at the same point where the optical axis 16 of the lens 15 does.
  • the optical axes of the lenses 15 and 17 are in a common plane.
  • the bisectrix of the angle between the optical axis of the lenses 15 and 17 is orthogonal to tha fiber axis.
  • the angle of incidence of the first deflected laser beam 14 is less than 90 degree, the light pathes of the illuminating and backscattered rays 24 are spatially separated. In the other extreme angular position the second deflected laser beam 14' is even more separated from the backscattered rays 24.
  • a photodetector 13 On the optical axis of the second lens 17 in the opposite to the fiber side a photodetector 13 is placed at a distance of twice the focal length from the lens, which detector detects the intensity of the backscattered from the glass fiber 10 light rays collected by lens 17 onto the detector 18.
  • the diameter of the glass fiber 10 can be measured in the following way.
  • the angular position of the oscillating mirror 13 is continuously changed between the two extreme angular positions. Changing the angular position of the oscillating mirror 13 the angle of incidence of the illuminating laser is also changed in a manner that the illuminating laser beam intersects the glass fiber 10 always at the same point.
  • the intensity of the backscattered light rays transmitted by the slit changes periodically when the angle of iricidence ⁇ of the illuminating laser beam is continuously changed beacuse the difference of the path lengthes of rays I and II also changes. Starting from the smallest value of the angle ⁇ the maxima and minima in the intensity of light rays is continuously monitored, and to every such an extreme value of intensity the coresponding angle derived from the known angular position of the oscillating mirror 13 is recorded.
  • the accuracy of the measurement can be increased if the angular data corresponding to more than two extreme intensity values are taken into account and a measured value of the diameter d is obtained using Eq. /3/ from every two angles ⁇ j and ⁇ j+1 corresponding to two adjacent minima or maxima, and the averaged value of the measured values is calculated.
  • the averaged value is basically independent from the factors affecting the angular positions corresponding to the extreme values.
  • the measuring arrangement sketched in Fig. 6 is equivalent to the case as if the wavelength of the laser II had been changed.
  • This latter solution is considerably more expensive than a beam defflection performed by the single oscillating mirror 13.
  • the laser beam 12 can also be deflected in another way instead of the oscillating mirror 13, for example by using an acoustooptic deflector, and furthermore tne same result can be obtained if the inclination angle of the glass fiber 10 is changed and all of the other elements are kept in constant position.
  • the scanning of the inclination angle of the glass fiber 10 can not be realized in a simple way in case of very thin fibers, therefore the solution sketched in Fig. 6 may be regarded to be the most preferable and most easily realizable from the point of view of changing the relative to each other angular positions of the illuminating laser beam and the glass fiber to be measured, because all of the elements of the measuring arrangement are in static state except for the oscillating mirror 13.
  • the method described above is useful for measuring the diamtere d. But thers are such measuring and, in the first place, control problems, where there is no need to know the value of the diameter d, but it is sufficient to sense or measure the changes of it. This is the case, for example, at manufacturing glass fibers, where there in a possibility to keep the diameter constent by proper control of the angular speed of the fiber diameter well /e.g. in case of 14 ⁇ m thick fiber with a 2-3 ⁇ m accuracy/, but in many cases the diameter must be kept within much less tolerance limits.
  • the post-measurement of the manufactured fibers is applicable only to post-control when the technological parameters can not be affected.
  • Fig. 7 a sketch of the arrangement of another emcodiment of the apparatus according to tne invention is illustrated, which is capable to measure the small diameter chances during the manufacturing process and makes possible to use value-hold control during manufacturing.
  • the laser 11 of constant wavelength generates a laser beam 12 of small diameter and in the light path of it a beam splatter 19 is placed.
  • a mirror 20 of fixed inclination angle is arranged in the light path of the laser beam passed through the beam splitter 19 without changing its direction and it reflects the laser beam 21 towards the glass fiber 10.
  • the cirection of the laser beam 21 makes an angle ⁇ 1 with the direction 22 being orthogonal to the fiber axis.
  • a first photodetector 23 is placed which detects the intensity of the backscattered to tis direction light rays generated by the glass fiter 10 due to the illumination with the laser beam 21.
  • the laser beam 25 reflected by the beam splitter 19 towards the glass fiber 10 makes an angle - ⁇ 2 with the direction 22 and it reaches the glass fiber 10 at the intersection point of the glass fiber 10 and the direction 22.
  • a second photodetector 26 is arranged in the light path of the backscattered rays and this second photodetector 26 detects the intensity of the backscattered light rays arising due to the illumination with the laser beam 25.
  • the operation of the apparatus sketched in Fig. 7 is based on the interference of rays I and II backscattered towards the photodetectors 23 and 26 and the phenomenon is not dependent on the diameter d of the glass fiber 10. If the diameter of the manufactured glass fiber 10 is not constant then the intensities detected by the photodetectors 23 and 26 periodically oscillate when the diameter d is continuously changing. The minima and maxima of the intensities can be detected by any of the photodetectors 23 and 28 , and knowing the constant wavelength and the angle of incidence the dia ⁇ eter change can be determined on the basis of the resonance condition desert bed by Eq./2/.
