Problems solved by technology

[0008] (5) In SDH equipment, the extinction ratio of the optical transmitter directly affects the performance of the equipment. Too large or too small extinction ratio is not conducive to the operation of the system
This method increases the cost of the system due to the use of dual optical paths

Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for detecting a polarization extinction ratio of an optical polarizer. The detection method comprises the following steps of: making linear polarized light incident along a principal axis of an optical polarizer to be detected, and obtaining two light signals on two orthogonal optical axes at an outgoing end due to polarization crosstalk; interfering and carrying out photoelectric conversion and data acquisition on interfering light signals to obtain one group of discrete voltage signal values reflecting the interfering light intensity signals; and calculating coupling intensity h at each coupling spot based on a formula (1), and calculating an extinction ratio of the optical polarizer to be detected based on a formula (2). The device sequentially comprises a light source, an isolator module, a polarization module, the optical polarizer to be detected, a projection direction regulating module, an interferometer module, a data acquisition module and a central processor module. The invention has the advantage that the coupling intensity of the coupling spots is detected to induce the polarization extinction ratio, so that the measurement result is accurate. The invention is suitable for various optical polarizers, such as polarization maintaining fibers, polarization maintaining fiber couplers, polarizers and the like and has certain universality.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for measuring parameters of an optical polarization device, and belongs to the technical field of optical measurement, in particular to a test device and a test method for the polarization extinction ratio of an optical polarization-maintaining device based on an interferometry method. Background technique [0002] Extinction ratio is an important index to measure the stability of polarization state of polarization-maintaining fiber (such as polarization-maintaining fiber, polarization-maintaining fiber coupler, polarizer, prism, crystal). When a beam of linearly polarized light is incident along a certain axis of the polarizing device, due to the residual stress inside the polarizing device, or the stress caused by thermal inhomogeneity, and the imperfection of the manufacturing process, the geometric shape of the optical polarizing device is not completely ideal, which will cause Originally isotropic substances appea...
