Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber sensing, and particularly relates to a method for testing the additional noise power of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) based on dual optical path polarization balance. The method is characterized in that a polarization controller and a polarization beam splitter are connected to an output end of the EDFA, the polarization controller is adjusted so that two paths of optical signals are balanced after passing through the polarization beam splitter, and signal lights and intensity noises of the signal lights are eliminated through signal processing based on polarization feature differences between amplified signal lights and spontaneous radiation lights, so that the additional noise power introduced by the EDFA is obtained,and effects of the EDFA on the signal-to-noise ratio of a distributed optical fiber sensing system are further studied. The testing method provided by the invention is simple and easy to implement, no additional modulation signals are needed, the system deterioration level caused by additional noises introduced by the EDFA can be precisely and completely measured, and great significance in the study and optimization of an ultra-long-haul distributed optical fiber sensing system is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber information, and in particular relates to a method for testing the additional noise power of an erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier (EDFA). Background technique [0002] Distributed optical fiber sensing is widely used in perimeter early warning, oil pipeline monitoring and other fields due to its advantages of long life, high sensitivity, high pressure resistance, good resistance to electromagnetic interference, and simple system. At present, the distributed optical fiber sensing system based on wavelength division multiplexing can realize 50km long-distance sensing without relay. However, due to the limitation of optical path loss, in order to realize ultra-long-distance optical fiber sensing, it is necessary to add an Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) in the system as a repeater to amplify the signal light. The basic principle of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier is to use the stimulat...
