Problems solved by technology

Parasitic inductance, capacitance, and resistance created by connections between discrete electronic components such as photodetectors, preamplifiers, and signal processing systems also slow detection speed and are prone to noise
In addition, when the output of the interferometer needs to use multiple optical paths (such as two-way coupling and splitting at the output of the interferometric optical path of the interferometer, and differential interference signals are used to suppress common-mode noise), it is necessary to use multiple discrete Photodetectors, multiple output fibers, and corresponding couplers are connected, which increases the volume and preparation complexity of the system, and is easy to introduce additional noise

Abstract

The invention provides a highly integrated fiber optic interferometer. The highly integrated fiber optic interferometer consists of a light source, a single-mode single-core input fiber, a first split-light cone coupling region, a single-mode dual-core sensing fiber, a combined light cone coupling region, a single-mode single-core transmission fiber, a second split-light cone coupling region, anda single-mode dual-core output fiber, and a photo-detecting chip. The highly integrated fiber optic interferometer uses a photo-detecting chip designed in an integrated circuit process that matches the position and shape of the output fiber core to perform collection, photoelectric conversion, and process on the output of the interference light. The highly integrated fiber optic interferometer greatly increases the integration of the overall system, reduces the size of the interferometer system, reduces the complexity of the system, and increases the reliability. The highly integrated fiber optic interferometer can be used for accurate measurement and real-time monitoring of various physical quantities such as temperature, pressure, and magnetic force, and can be widely used as a sensor node in the sensor network and the Internet of Things system.
