Embodiment 1

[0033] The specific implementation of the method of the present invention applied to the measurement of the optical path difference of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer based on the 3×3 coupler is as follows.

[0034] The light emitted by the broadband light source 1 is input to the tunable fiber FAP filter 2, and the tunable fiber FAP filter 2 outputs wavelength-scanning narrowband light driven by a sawtooth wave signal. The wavelength-scanning narrowband light is divided into two paths by a coupler 3, one of which is input into a Mach-Zehnder interferometer composed of a coupler 3 and a 3×3 coupler 5, and the 3×3 coupler The three output lights of 5 are detected by three photodetectors 8 respectively; The four photoelectric detection signals are collected by the A / D acquisition card 9 and input to the computer 10 for measurement.

[0035]In the embodiment, the broadband light source 1 is an ASE light source, and the spectral range covers from 1525nm to 1565nm; the free spectr...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of fibre optical sensing, in particular to a wave length SWLI measurement technology based on a 3*3 coupler. Wave length scanning narrowband light is divided into two routes by the coupler, one route of light is input into an interferometer based on the 3*3 coupler, the other route thereof is input into an etalon and a fiber grating which are connected in series. When wave length scanning is carried out, three output white light interference spectrums of the interferometer and a transmission spectrum of the etalon and the fiber grating are probed. Start-stop wave length of wave length scanning is confirmed by the transmission spectrum of the etalon and the fiber grating, three white light interference spectrum signals have difference of 120 degrees between each two signals in phase position, a passive phase demodulation algorithm based on the 3*3 coupler can directly demodulate output phase change of the interferometer caused by wave length scanning, so as to work out absolute optical path difference. The invention has high measuring precision and can realize high-speed measurement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to a wavelength scanning white light interferometry technology based on a 3×3 coupler. Background technique [0002] Compared with optical fiber homodyne and heterodyne interferometry, optical fiber white light interferometry can realize the absolute measurement of interferometer optical path difference, and has significant advantages in measuring static and slowly changing physical quantities. The spectral domain white light interferometry method obtains the optical path difference of the interferometer by detecting the output white light spectrum of the interferometer. There are two ways to obtain the white light interference spectrum of the interferometer: one method is to use a broadband light input interferometer, and then use the spectrometer Probing the output spectrum of the interferometer; another approach is to use a wavelength-swept narrowband light input to...
