Embodiment Construction

[0025] The technology disclosed in this patent is used to simplify the measurement procedure and improve the measurement accuracy by using the measurement method and process provided by DPXA to obtain additional measurements, and to expand the measurement function of DPXA, including various polarization-related parameters, including PER (or h-parameter), birefringence index, birefringence uniformity, birefringence dispersion, and birefringence thermal coefficient.

[0026] The present invention exemplifies the determination of the stress and strain and the spatial distribution of the stress and strain based on measuring the polarization crosstalk between two polarization modes of an optical birefringence medium, and is based on optical fiber optical interferometry technology and implementation equipment. The techniques and devices described here can be used to effectively suppress unwanted spectral broadening caused by birefringent dispersion in polarization maintaining fibers....

Abstract

A method of measuring a polarization correlation parameter of a doubly-refractive material and an apparatus are disclosed. The method comprises the following steps of presetting a series of polarization crosstalk peaks with known distance periods along a length of the doubly-refractive material; introducing probe light and entering into the doubly-refractive material, and detecting the probe light from the doubly-refractive material; processing the detected probe light so as to determine a sensed polarization crosstalk peak position with the known distance period and a width; and using the acquired polarization crosstalk peak position with the known distance period and the width to extract one or more polarization correlation parameters of the doubly-refractive material.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices, systems and techniques for measuring polarization properties of light, including polarization-related parameters in polarization-maintaining optical fiber links, in optical materials and devices. technical background [0002] In various optical devices, optical systems and optical information applications, the polarization characteristics of light are an important parameter of optical signals. The polarization properties of the optical signal can be changed by transmitting the optical signal through an optical medium with optical birefringence, wherein light with different polarizations in the medium will experience different indices of refraction. For example, in different optical fibers, some fibers have optical birefringence, so light will change its polarization characteristics when it is transmitted in such fibers. Usually, the birefringence in the optical fiber will change with time, for example, when th...
