Problems solved by technology

The mechanism is to use the electro-optical effect of the crystal to introduce birefringence in different directions and then control the polarization state. This method has high precision and fast speed, but it requires complex control circuits and high bias voltage, and the structure is more complicated and the cost is higher.

Embodiment Construction

[0026] Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and specific embodiment the present invention is described in further detail:

[0027] like figure 1 As shown, a high-speed, high-precision all-fiber polarization control device uses a laser (2) with an output center wavelength of 1310 nm, and the output light polarization state is +45° linearly polarized light, which is coupled into a four-port polarization beam splitter The input terminal 2a of the device (2). For the convenience of description, define the four-port polarization beam splitter (2) to reflect vertically polarized light |v〉, represented by Λ2; to transmit parallel state polarized light |h〉, represented by Λ1. After Λ1 is transmitted, it arrives at the 90° rotating Faraday reflector (5) by the 2c port and is reflected back. When it is reflected back by the 90° rotating Faraday reflector (5), its polarization direction is also rotated 90° to become a vertical polarization; The splitting surface of the four-p...

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-speed and high-precision all-fiber polarization control device which relates to the technical field of fiber polarization control, in particular relating to a device for realizing light polarization control through phase modulation, and aiming at designing a high-speed and high-precision all-fiber polarization control device which has the advantages of small volume, simple structure, strong anti-interference performance and easiness for realization. In the scheme, a main light path is formed by connecting a light source, a four-port light polarization beam splitter / combiner, a phase modulator and a 90-degree rotation Faraday reflection mirror. The output end of the light source is connected with the input end of the four-port light polarization beam splitter / combiner, the reflection port of the four-port light polarization beam splitter / combiner is sequentially connected with the phase modulator and the 90-degree rotation Faraday reflection mirror to form a control arm, and the transmission output end of the four-port light polarization beam splitter / combiner is connected with the 90-degree rotation Faraday reflection mirror to form a reference arm. The optical path of the control arm is strictly equal to that of the reference arm, and the control on the light polarization is realized by modulating the phase difference of the control arm and the reference arm through utilizing the phase modulator. Through combining the four-port light polarization beam splitter / combiner with the 90-degree rotation Faraday reflection mirror, the birefrigent effect of optical devices and fibers can be eliminated, and the stability and anti-interference capability of the system can be enhanced, and the high-speed phase modulator guarantees that the working frequency of the device reaches 109Hz.
