Definitions
- the present invention concerns a device for spectral analysis of optical signals based on the Stimulated Brillouin Diffusion effect and associated measurement procedure using the optical amplification of the signals by the Brillouin Diffusion effect itself.
- the Brillouin Diffusion effect allows selective optical amplification of a certain component of the optical spectrum of the signal to be analyzed, which will be called the problem signal, for its measurement with a determined dynamic resolution, sensitivity and range.
- the problem signal is introduced into an optical fiber together with a narrow band optical signal, which we will call a probe signal, centered on a certain wavelength, which propagates in the opposite direction to that of the problem signal.
- a probe signal centered on a certain wavelength, which propagates in the opposite direction to that of the problem signal.
- an output signal is generated inside the fiber that travels in the opposite direction to the probe signal and whose intensity is determined by the product of the intensities of the first two signals, so that of said output signal it is possible to obtain a measurement of a spectral component of said problem signal, this component being determined by the central wavelength of said probe signal.
- European Patent EP-1-199549-A1 describes a device that uses the Brillouin Diffusion effect on an optical fiber for spectroscopic measurements and constitutes the most recent background with a field of invention close to that described herein. .
- the main innovation included in the present invention is the use of optical amplification by the Brillouin Diffusion effect, combined with the spectral selectivity provided by the Brillouin Diffusion effect itself as a result of the narrowness of the Brillouin gain curve in one optical fiber.
- the problem and probe signals are introduced into the optical fiber in which the effect takes place at opposite ends and with opposite propagation directions, unlike the configuration described in EP-1- 199549-A1. This difference is associated with substantially different principles of operation of the device that allow obtaining a high level of optical amplification of the problem signal together with the high spectral selectivity of the Brillouin effect.
- the resolution in the measurement of optical spectra with the device described in the present invention is determined by the spectral width of the Brillouin gain curve, and is not based on any passive filtering of the problem signal by systems with diffraction networks, Fabry interferometers -
- the Brillouin Diffusion effect requires a high degree of spatial coherence of the incident signal.
- the degree of coherence necessary for the generation of Brillouin Diffusion can be easily obtained using lasers such as semiconductor with external cavity, usually used as tunable sources in optical fiber characterization equipment.
- the phenomenon of Spontaneous Brillouin Diffusion occurs in a single-mode optical fiber when the optical power level exceeds a certain threshold level of the order of a few milliwatts of power in the fiber.
- a second signal called a problem signal, that propagates in the opposite direction to the incident signal is introduced into the same optical fiber, the effect called Stimulated Brillouin Diffusion occurs.
- the magnitude of the melted back power by stimulated Brillouin effect is directly determined by the much weaker intensity of the problem signal. If the interaction length between the probe signal and the problem signal is sufficiently wide, the light beam or optical signal resulting from the Brillouin Diffusion may be of an intensity comparable to that of the probe signal, but governed by the magnitude of the signal problem that stimulates her. There is therefore an effect of Optical Amplification by Diffusion Brillouin.
- Brillouin Diffusion Amplification has a selective wavelength character: it occurs exclusively in a narrow spectral range (with an approximate width of 0.05 pm in the near infrared zone, ⁇ ⁇ 1.5 ⁇ m) around the wavelength determined by the probe signal, slightly offset by the Doppler effect mentioned above (with an approximate value of 0.1 nm in silica optical fibers and in the aforementioned near infrared).
- a wavelength scan of the probe signal acts as a tunable amplifier probe over the spectrum of the problem signal.
- the measurement procedure of optical spectra according to the present invention is based on the Selective Optical Amplification by Brillouin Diffusion of a narrow range of the spectrum of the problem signal centered on the wavelength set by the probe signal (except the displacement due to Doppler effect), so that a wavelength scan of the probe allows to obtain a wide range of the spectrum of the problem signal
- the Brillouin Diffusion optical spectrum analyzer device and associated measurement procedure object of the present invention achieves the objectives set by incorporating a narrow band tunable optical source, a fiber optic segment, an optical circulator that allows access to said segment by one of its ends, a second optical access through the opposite end of said fiber optic segment, a detection system and a control and data acquisition system.
- Said fiber optic segment is capable of receiving an optical probe signal through said optical circulator which in turn comes from said tunable optical source.
- said fiber segment is capable of receiving, through said second access, a problem optical signal to be measured, from an external source.
- Said fiber segment is the material medium suitable for the interaction by Brillouin effect between the probe signal and the problem signal, said optical circulator obtaining an optical output signal, which is then conducted to said detection system.
- this electrical signal is applied to said control and data acquisition system to obtain a measure of the spectral component of said problem signal corresponding to the wavelength of said probe signal.
- the spectrum of the problem signal is obtained by said control system, which performs a wavelength scan of the probe signal and the composition of the measurements obtained as a function of said scan.
- the device according to the present invention incorporates the following components to improve its operating characteristics: i. an optical isolator in said second access of the optical fiber to prevent the output of any optical signal that could influence the external source generating the problem signal; Y ii. a polarization controller located between said circulator and said fiber segment to avoid loss of efficiency in the interaction by Brillouin effect due to the difference in the polarization states of the problem and probe optical signals.
- the device of the present invention may optionally include, to reach the ultimate limits in terms of performance, the following elements: iii. an optical amplifier located at the output of said tunable optical source to increase the applied intensity of the probe signal and thereby improve the sensitivity of the device and the dynamic range of measurement; and iv. one or more modulators, of amplitude or polarization, which allow the use of a synchronous detection system in the measurement process, in order to reach the maximum degree of sensitivity possible in the measurement.
- the spectroscopic optical signal measurement procedure for selective optical amplification of Brillouin Broadcast signals includes the following steps: i. introduction of an optical signal probe from an optical source or tunable laser at one end of a fiber optic segment, ii. introduction of a problem optical signal to be analyzed, from an external source, and object of the measurement, which crosses an optical isolator prior to its entry through the opposite end of the optical fiber, iii. optimization of the alignment of the polarization of the probe signal with that of the problem signal, by means of a polarization controller located between the optical circulator and the input of the probe signal in the fiber optic segment, iv. interaction in the fiber optic segment of the probe signal and the problem signal generated by an output signal, v.
- the following final steps can be carried out: viii. amplification of the probe signal by means of an optical amplifier after its output from the tunable optical or laser source and prior to the input of the probe signal into the optical circulator, and ix. modulation, in amplitude or polarization, of the probe signal or of the problem signal, or both, synchronously with the detection system.
- Fig. 1 schematically shows the interconnection circuit with the basic elements included in the device of the present invention
- Fig. 2 schematically shows an alternative to the circuit of Figure 1 with the inclusion of optional elements such as the optical amplifier 8 and the external modulators 9,
- iii. Fig. 3 shows a graphical representation of the optical spectra of the signals involved in the device as a function of the wavelength scan of the probe signal.
- the present invention concerns an optical spectrum analyzer device 12 based on Brillouin Diffusion Amplification and associated measurement method comprising a tunable narrow source optical source 1, a fiber optic segment 2, an optical circulator 4, a polarization controller 5, an optical isolator 6, a detection system 3 and a control and data collection system 7, as can be seen in Fig. 1.
- the probe A signal must have a sufficient spectral energy density to trigger the Brillouin Diffusion phenomenon in the chosen material medium (of the order of milliwatts of power in an optical fiber).
- the probe signal A must have a spectral width less than that of the spectral profile of the Brillouin gain (ge), so that the latter really determines the resolution of the spectrometric technique (of the order of 0.05 pm, for the Near infrared zone: ⁇ ⁇ 1.5 ⁇ m).
- the generating source 1 of the probe signal A must, in practice, allow the variation of the central wavelength of the probe signal, that is, it must be tunable. In this way the output signal can be transferred through different points of the spectrum, which allows to know the level of intensity that the problem signal has around different wavelengths.
- the tuning characteristics of source 1 directly determine the spectral range, accuracy, reproducibility and corresponding analog characteristics of the measurement technique.
- a semiconductor laser with tunable external cavity is capable of providing much smaller spectral widths than the resolution of the measurement and allows tuning ranges of the order of 100 nm with high accuracy and repeatability.
- optical fiber the following considerations must be taken into account: i.
- the optical fiber 2 to be used as a material medium for the interaction by Brillouin effect must be of the single mode type in the range of the measured wavelengths, to preserve the spatial coherence of the light beams, probe and problem signals, in interaction .
- the efficiency of the effect is inversely proportional (equal to the optical power of the beams) to the effective area of the light beams in interaction. The efficiency will be greater, therefore, the smaller the area of the fiber optic core.
- the use of "displaced dispersion" or similar type optical fiber is preferable, since it has an effective area almost half that of the standard single-mode fiber.
- the length of fiber optic 2 to be used is of the order of kilometers to obtain maximum performance in the Brillouin Amplification process that accumulates along the length of the fiber.
- the optical circulator 4 its mission is to decouple the two directions of light propagation at the end of the fiber without significant loss of intensity, which is essential to be able to introduce on the one hand the probe signal A and on the other get the output signal C, more effectively than a fiber optic coupler.
- optical isolator 6 it is used to prevent the output of any optical signal that could influence the source of the problem signal 10.
- the fiber segment 2 receives at one of its ends, through said circulator 4, an optical signal probe A which in turn comes from said tunable optical source 1. On the opposite end, it receives through said insulator 6, a problem optical signal B that is desired to be measured from an external source 10.
- Said fiber segment 2 is the suitable material medium for the interaction by Brillouin effect between the probe signal A and the problem signal B, obtaining by said optical circulator 4, an optical output signal C, which is conducted to said detection system 3.
- a direct light detection chain is proposed as detection system 3, without special requirements regarding dynamic response or sensitivity.
- Optical signal detection can be done at low frequency or
- this electrical signal is applied to said control system 7 to obtain a measurement of the component of the problem signal B as a function of the wavelength of the probe signal TO.
- the spectrum 12 of the problem signal B is obtained by said control system 7, which performs a wavelength scan 11 of the probe signal A and the graphic composition of the measurements obtained as a function of said scan 11.
- the spectrum 12 of the problem signal B is obtained by means of the wavelength scan 11 of the emission of the tunable laser.
- the detected output signal C corresponds to the magnitude of the spectral component of the problem signal B, amplified (by Stimulated Brillouin effect) with a gain that depends on the intensity of the probe A signal from the tunable source.
- the contribution to the reflected output signal is determined by a product gB-ls (s) -lp ( s - ⁇ D), where g B is a coefficient of Brillouin gain (characteristic of the interaction fiber), the s ( ⁇ s ), l p ( ⁇ ) represent the intensities of the probe and problem signals respectively, as functions of the wavelength, ⁇ .
- the intensity lp ( ⁇ s - ⁇ o) of the test signal is that corresponding to the wavelength of the probe ( ⁇ s ), except for the displacement by Doppler effect (13) ( ⁇ o) previously mentioned (see Fig. 3).
- the device of the present invention can incorporate a series of optional elements that allow reaching the maximum performance compatible with the fundamentals of the measurement procedure.
- These optional elements are: i. an optical amplifier 8 located at the output of said tunable optical source 1 to increase the applied intensity of the probe signal A; and ii. a first modulator 9, of amplitude or polarization, which works synchronously with the detection system 3, located between the polarization control 5 and the fiber segment 2.
- a second modulator 14 can be included instead of the first modulator , of amplitude or polarization, between the insulator 6 and the fiber segment 2 that also works synchronously with the detection system 3.
- first modulator 9 between the polarization control 5 and the fiber segment 2
- second modulator 14 between the insulator 6 and the fiber segment 2.
- polarization controller 5 instead of by the first modulator 9.
- a first modulator 9 with polarization modulation will be employed working synchronously and positioned as mentioned above between the polarization control 5 and the fiber optic segment 2.
- the use of an optical amplifier 8 is intended to achieve high levels in the output signal, starting from weak problem signal levels (l p ), by means of an increase in the factor (l s ) corresponding to the intensity of the probe signal.
- the dynamic range of the detection chain it is possible to modulate either the probe signal A, or the problem signal B, or both signals.
- modulations may be amplitude or polarization (periodic evolution of the polarization state) by means of a specific system (9, 14 in Figure 2).
- the modulation is transferred to the intensity of the detected output signal C, which allows an improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio by means of synchronous detection techniques.
- the dependence that with the polarization has the efficiency of the Brillouin Dispersion provides the mechanism of transfer of the modulation to the detected output signal C.
- the optical spectrum analyzer device based on the Brillouin Diffusion Optical Amplification effect described in the present invention achieves, to the extent, the following performance: i.
- a high spectral resolution determined exclusively by the width associated with the Brillouin effect (of the order of 0.05 pm for the near infrared zone, that is, ⁇ ⁇ 1.5 ⁇ m); ii. high sensitivity, so that the minimum detectable power is of the order of 1 nW / pm (for response times in the detection chain of the order of 1 ms); Y iii. a wide dynamic range, greater than 80 dB, adjusting the sensitivity of the system by means of the total gain level in the Brillouin Broadcast Amplification.

- the following phases can optionally be carried out: viii. amplification of the probe signal by means of an optical amplifier 8 after its output from the tunable optical or laser source 1 and prior to the input of the probe A signal into the optical circulator 4, and ix.
- modulation, of the amplitude or polarization, of the probe signal A by means of a first modulator 9 located between the polarization control 5 and the fiber optic segment 2 and which works synchronously with the detection system 3.
- This last stage can be substituted or complemented with a modulation stage, of the amplitude or polarization, of the problem signal B by means of a second modulator 14 located between the optical isolator 6 and the fiber optic segment 2 and which works synchronously with the detection system 3.
