The invention provides a device and detecting method for restraining polarization
crosstalk measuring
noise by the adoption of a
light source. The device is composed of a
broadband light source, a polarization device to be detected, an
optical path correlator, a difference detecting device, an optical
signal converting device and a
signal recording device. The device is characterized in that the
broadband light source is a low coherent light source with high
degree of polarization, and a polarization device provided with high
extinction ratio is arranged behind the light source. The detecting method comprises the steps that a polarization state controller is connected between the light source and the polarization device, and the polarizing angle of line polarization light and the polarization device are overlapped with each other seriously through adjusting the polarization state of the output light of the light source. According to the device, the high
degree of polarization light source and the high
extinction ratio polarization device are combined, the measuring
noise in the optical coherent domain polarization can be restrained through increasing the
extinction ratio of
signal light injected into the device to be detected, and measuring accuracy to the device polarization feature of the device is improved. The device and detecting method for restraining polarization
crosstalk measuring
noise by the adoption of the light source are simple in structure, excellent in performance and easy to adjust, and can be widely applied to the field of high accuracy measuring and analyzing to optical performances of optical type polarization-maintaining devices and the like.
