Abstract

The invention discloses an optical fiber rotary connector based on a doublet lens and application thereof, the optical fiber rotary connector comprises a rotor, a stator and a central light transmission channel, and the rotor and the stator both adopt the same thermal expansion core single-mode optical fiber and the doublet lens (a positive lens and a negative lens). Light is emitted from the stator optical fiber and is subjected to beam expansion and collimation through the stator doublet lens, the collimated light is transmitted in air and is gathered by the rotor doublet lens, the light is coupled into the rotor optical fiber, and the light is reflected by the sensing grating and returns to the stator optical fiber through the optical fiber rotary connector. The optical element and the optical path reversible principle are combined, transmission of optical signals from the rotating end to the static end is achieved, two-way transmission of the optical signals is achieved, and therefore the optical fiber grating sensing system is adapted, the structure is simple, cost is low, coupling efficiency is high, reliability is high, and the service life is long.
