Abstract

The invention provides a Faraday rotation reflection mirror and an optical fiber interferometer. The Faraday rotation reflection mirror comprises a collimator, wherein a Faraday rotator is arranged at the emergence end of the collimator, and a reflection mirror is arranged at the emergence end of the Faraday rotator. A polarizing beam-splitting beam-combining device are arranged between the emergence end of the collimator and the Faraday rotator, the Faraday rotator is located on an emergence optical path of the polarizing beam-splitting beam-combining device, light beams pass through the Faraday rotator and then rotate for 90 degrees in a polarization state, and a focusing lens is arranged between the emergence end of the Faraday rotator and the reflection mirror. The optical fiber interferometer is provided with two interference arms, wherein each interference arm is provided with the Faraday rotation reflection mirror. The Faraday rotation reflection mirror is suitable for the optical fiber interferometer which is large in wavelength range, insensitive to temperature change and high in signal to noise ratio.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical device used in an optical fiber measurement system, in particular to a Faraday rotating reflector and an optical fiber interferometer with the Faraday rotating reflector. Background technique [0002] Various optical instruments are often used in modern optical communication systems, Michelson fiber interferometer is a common optical instrument. Michelson fiber optic interferometer uses optical fiber to realize double-beam interference of light. It is composed of optical fiber and optical fiber devices instead of free space components such as splitters and lenses. It has small size, light weight, anti-electromagnetic interference, anti-corrosion, and high sensitivity. High, wide measurement bandwidth, detection electronics and sensors can be far apart. The fiber optic interferometer adopts optical interference technology, and its measurement accuracy is higher than that of ordinary fiber optic sensors. Therefore, th...
