Problems solved by technology

The spectrometer is large and expensive, which is not conducive to the miniaturization and modularization of the calibration device, and is also not conducive to the integration with the application system; although the FBG array and the F-P etalon can provide multiple reference wavelengths for calibration, they are limited by the thermal stability of the device. The reference wavelength will drift to different degrees with the change of temperature, thus deviating from its nominal value and bringing errors to the calibration

[0048] Acetylene is a gas that has a strong absorption of near-infrared light, and there are dozens of strong absorption lines between 1515nm and 1540nm, such as image 3 shown. Taking acetylene as an example, the wavelength calibration method of the optical fiber scanning light source 9 is described. In the actual calibration process, it is not necessary to collect all the absorption lines of the gas, and the local absorption spectrum can provide enough reference wavelengths for calibration.

Abstract

The invention discloses a device and method for calibrating an optical fiber scanning light source wavelength based on gas absorption spectral lines. The device and method are suitable for the precise locating of a scanning light source output wavelength based on an F-P filter in the field of optical fiber communication and sensing. The device and method provide multiple reference wavelengths for the wavelength calibration of an optical fiber scanning light source by utilizing the multiple absorption spectral lines of gas molecules in a near-infrared wave band, and are high in stability. In the calibration process, broadband light passes through the F-P filter driven by continuous voltages, outputs narrow-linewidth scanning light, and interacts with the gas molecules in a gas chamber to form gas absorption spectrums. Through base line extraction, absorption peak fitting and absorption wavelength query, the driving voltage and the absorption wavelength corresponding to each absorption spectral line of the gas are obtained. According to the voltage-wavelength corresponding relation of each spectral line, calibration is carried out on the output wavelength of the optical fiber scanning light source, and system wavelength locating is carried out through spline interpolation. The device and method have the advantages of being simple in device, easy to integrate, high in precision and the like, and have wide application prospects.
