Abstract

The invention discloses a method for measuring an electro-optic phase modulator modulation factor, and relates to the technical field of the photoelectronic technique. In order to solve the problems that phase modulation signals cannot be directly detected on a photoelectric detector and nonlinearity cannot be omitted in PM-IM and FM-IM conversion processes, an optical fiber interferometer is adopted as a measuring device and composed of a beam splitter, an electro-optic phase modulator to be measured, an acousto-optic frequency shifter, an auxiliary electro-optic phase modulator and a beam combiner, wherein the electro-optic phase modulator to be measured is arranged on one interference arm of the optical fiber interferometer, the acousto-optic frequency shifter and the auxiliary electro-optic phase modulator are placed on the other interference arm of the optical fiber interferometer, and sinusoidal signals with different frequencies are loaded to the electro-optic phase modulator to be measured, the acousto-optic frequency shifter and the auxiliary electro-optic phase modulator respectively. Frequency response of the photoelectric detector is eliminated by setting a frequency relation of the loaded sinusoidal signals, self-calibration measurement is achieved, measuring accuracy of the electro-optic phase modulator modulation factor is improved, and the method has good application value.
