Abstract

The invention discloses a device and method for testing polarization extinction ratio of a polarization-maintaining fiber coupler based on resonator technology. One output end and one input end of the polarization-maintaining fiber coupler are connected to form a fundamental annular resonator structure; a polarization axis alignment angle error of the polarization-maintaining fiber coupler is obtained by testing a resonance curve of an optical fiber annular resonator so as to obtain the polarization extinction ratio of the polarization-maintaining fiber coupler. The device for testing polarization extinction ratio of the polarization-maintaining fiber coupler comprises an optical fiber laser, a first isolator, an optical fiber annular resonator, a second isolator, a photoelectric detectorand an oscillograph which are connected in order; and the optical fiber annular resonator is arranged on a temperature-controlled panel. For an in separable optical waveguide resonator of the opticalfiber coupler, the device and method provided by the invention can test the polarization extinction ratio of the coupler constituting the resonator in non-destructive manner. The invention provides anovel and simple method for testing polarization extinction ratio of the polarization-maintaining fiber coupler with important scientific significance and application value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and method for testing the polarization extinction ratio of a polarization-maintaining fiber coupler based on a resonant cavity technology. Background technique [0002] The polarization-maintaining fiber coupler is a coupler that can keep the coupled light in the same polarization state as the input linearly polarized light. It is a key device for various interferometric sensors and coherent communication, and it is also one of the basic components that constitute a high-precision, high-performance fiber optic gyroscope. . In the fiber optic gyroscope, the polarization maintaining fiber coupler is an important device connecting the light source, photodetector and fiber resonator. On the one hand, the polarization-maintaining fiber coupler inputs the light wave of the light source into the fiber ring, and on the other hand outputs the light intensity with angular rate information to the detector. In the optical waveg...
