The invention provides a temperature experiment based
fiber ring characteristics testing
system, which is composed of a wide-
spectrum light source for high-precision
fiber gyroscope (1), a polarization-maintaining coupler (2), Y-shaped waveguides (3,4), a
fiber ring to be tested (5), a quick
temperature control testing box (6), high-sensitivity
optical power meters (7,8,9), computer and
software (10.11, 12) for data reception of computer
serial port or GPIB port. The invention provides a
fiber ring characteristics testing method without circuit matching based on temperature excitation experiment, which comprises: reflecting the influence of temperature change to optical
signal polarization according to change of output power polarized by the Y-shaped
waveguide, detecting symmetry of output
signal at two ends of the
fiber ring by a symmetric
optical path, and detecting the influence of thermal nonreciprocal phase shift to interference effect. When applying the same testing device and testing method, the invention is capable of providing comparative index value with reliable quality of the
fiber ring, and providing standard for selecting high-performance fiber ring.
