Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the coupling of optical waveguides, and in particular to an adaptive optical fiber light beam high-efficiency coupling system and method. Background Art
[0002] In today's high-tech field, the rapid development of technologies such as laser communication, fiber optic sensing, and semiconductors has put forward higher requirements for the fiber coupling efficiency in laser systems. Fiber coupling technology plays an extremely important role in improving the transmission capacity of optical communications, improving the accuracy of fiber optic sensing, and promoting the miniaturization and high performance of optoelectronic integration. However, the improvement of coupling efficiency faces many technical challenges, especially under the conditions of transmission loss caused by various errors such as angle error, position offset, and optical device aberration, which greatly reduces the coupling efficiency and becomes a key technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.
[0003] In the prior art, some solutions have been proposed to address these problems. For example, Chinese patent CN105406334A proposes to detect the feedback signal of the laser pulse through a spatial light detector, and to use an electric adjustment frame to automatically adjust the coaxiality of the collimation and focusing module and the optical fiber, thereby improving the coupling efficiency. However, this method is limited by the degree of freedom of the electric adjustment frame, and it is difficult to solve the transmission loss caused by the angle error and the aberration of the optical device. In addition, the range of coupling adjustment is limited, and it is not suitable for the case of large angle errors.
[0004] Chinese patent CN115603167A proposes a power detection technology based on an integrating sphere, which achieves the best coupling state by adjusting the displacement and angle of the collimator fixture. Although this method has improved the adjustment range and accuracy, due to its complex system and high cost, and being greatly affected by the accuracy of the fixture, the final improvement in coupling efficiency is limited by the accuracy of the fixture, making it difficult to achieve the true optimal coupling effect.
[0005] Another technical solution is that the liquid crystal phase controller proposed in Chinese patent CN102520557A adjusts the phase of the converging beam to achieve dynamic coupling. Although this method provides a certain degree of dynamic adjustment capability, the adjustment accuracy of the liquid crystal phase controller is not high, and it is difficult to effectively compensate for the beam loss. In addition, the liquid crystal phase controller also has the problem of inconvenient operation during use.
[0006] Chinese patent CN104503042A proposes to use fast reflector technology to overcome the beam drift caused by atmospheric turbulence, and to compensate for the wavefront distortion in combination with a phase controller, thereby improving the coupling efficiency to a certain extent. However, this method has weak adaptability in dealing with coupling losses caused by angle errors and position errors, and the optimization effect is limited.
[0007] In 2016, Gao Jianqiu used a fast reflector to perform the laser nutation method (see: Gao Jianqiu, Sun Jianfeng, Li Jiawei, et al. Coupling method of spatial light to single-mode fiber based on laser nutation [J]. Chinese Laser, 2016, 6(8): 19-26.) to couple spatial light to single-mode fiber. The control system automatically performs motion compensation based on the calculation accuracy of the miss-target amount. However, this method can only improve the coupling efficiency to a small extent, and the compensation effect for a larger range of errors is poor.
[0008] Based on these existing technical backgrounds, how to further improve the fiber coupling efficiency, especially under complex conditions such as angle errors and position offsets, is still a difficult problem that needs to be tackled. Summary of the invention

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The present invention discloses an adaptive optical fiber beam high-efficiency coupling system, comprising a transmitting unit, a receiving unit, an adaptive optical beam control unit and an optical power detection unit. Different from an optical beam coupling system that only monitors the intensity of the optical beam, the present invention compensates for coupling losses caused by multiple degrees of freedom, such as radial, axial and angular, through an adaptive optical beam control unit.

[0019] (3) The present invention adopts a gear rack motion mechanism composed of zero backlash gears to change the rotation angle of two wedge prisms to achieve scanning of the incident light beam (when a pair of wedge prisms rotate around a specific axis, the angle of the wedge prism relative to the light beam is constantly changing. This change causes the refraction angle of the light beam to change according to a certain rule, thereby changing the emission direction of the light beam in space; the scanning angle of the light beam is related to parameters such as the wedge angle, refractive index and rotation angle of the wedge prism; by accurately controlling these parameters, accurate scanning of the laser beam in a two-dimensional plane or three-dimensional space can be achieved), compensate for the transmission loss caused by the angle error, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the light beam transmission and ensuring the overall performance of the optical system.
[0020] (4) The present invention uses a first displacement device (piezoelectric ceramic micro-displacement sensor) to control the rotation angle of the plane reflector, thereby achieving a translation of the radial position of the light beam and compensating for the radial error of the light beam.
[0021] (5) The present invention uses a second displacement device (piezoelectric ceramic micro-displacement sensor) to control the distance between the receiving optical fiber and the second collimating and focusing device, compensate for the transmission loss and axial error caused by the aberration of the optical device, find the optimal position of the optical fiber coupling, and maximize the improvement of the light beam transmission efficiency.

[0029] The transmitting optical fiber 41 is used to transmit a light beam, which passes through the first collimating and focusing device 21 and is divided into reflected light and transmitted light by the beam splitter 12; the reflected light enters the detector 5, which is used to detect the spot shape and energy of the reflected light, and outputs it to the controller 8; the transmitted light passes through two wedge-shaped prisms 10 in sequence, is refracted by the plane mirror 9 to the second collimating and focusing device 22, and then passes through the receiving optical fiber 42 to enter the optical power detection unit 13, which is used to detect the beam power of its incident light and output it to the controller 8.
[0030] The controller 8 is used to obtain the offset and tilt angle of the reflected light relative to the center of the detector 5 according to the spot shape and energy of the reflected light, determine whether the beam power of the incident light of the optical power detection unit 13 meets the preset requirements, control the driving device to adjust the rotation angle of the two wedge prisms 10 to adjust the direction of the light beam according to the offset and the tilt angle, change the pitch angle of the plane mirror 9 through the first displacement device 71 according to the offset and the tilt angle to adjust the position of the refracted light beam, and move the receiving optical fiber 42 through the second displacement device 72 to change the distance between the receiving optical fiber 42 and the second collimating and focusing device 22.

[0034] An adaptive optical fiber beam high-efficiency coupling method adopts the above-mentioned adaptive optical fiber beam high-efficiency coupling system, comprising the following steps: Step 1, after the beam splitter 12 is turned clockwise by 90°, a test beam is emitted from the receiving optical fiber 42, and the test beam passes through the second collimating and focusing device 22, the plane mirror 9, and the two wedge prisms 10 in sequence, and is then divided into a test reflected light and a test transmitted light by the beam splitter 12, and the test reflected light enters the detector 5, and the relative position of the detector 5 and the receiving unit is adjusted, and the position of the receiving unit when the center of the reflected light coincides with the center of the detector 5 is taken as the initial position of the receiving unit; then the beam splitter 12 is reset; Step 2, a light beam is emitted from the emitting optical fiber 41, and the light beam passes through the first collimating and focusing device 21 to form a collimated light beam, which is output to the beam splitter 12. The beam splitter 12 divides the collimated light beam into reflected light and transmitted light, wherein the transmitted light accounts for more than 90% of the total energy of the collimated light beam, and the reflected light accounts for less than 10% of the total energy of the collimated light beam; The reflected light enters the detector 5, and the detector 5 detects the spot shape and energy of the reflected light, and outputs it to the controller 8. The controller 8 analyzes and obtains the offset and tilt angle of the reflected light relative to the center of the detector 5; The transmitted light passes through two wedge-shaped prisms 10 in sequence, is refracted by the plane mirror 9 to the second collimating and focusing device 22, and then enters the optical power detection unit 13 after passing through the receiving optical fiber 42. The optical power detection unit 13 detects the beam power of the incident light and outputs it to the controller 8; Step 3, the controller 8 determines whether the beam power obtained in step 2 meets the preset requirements, if so, execute step 6, otherwise execute step 4; Step 4, the controller 8 controls the driving device to adjust the rotation angle of the two wedge prisms 10 to adjust the light beam direction according to the offset and tilt angle obtained in step 2, and the light power detection unit 13 detects the light beam power of the incident light, determines the light beam direction when the light beam power is maximum, and maintains the direction, and then executes step 5; Specifically: Step 4.1, the control driving device simultaneously adjusts the rotation angles of the two wedge-shaped prisms 10, and the optical power detection unit 13 detects the beam power of the incident light, determines the beam direction when the beam power is maximum, and maintains the direction; Step 4.2, the control driving device adjusts the rotation angle of one of the wedge-shaped prisms 10, and at the same time the optical power detection unit 13 detects the beam power of the incident light, determines the beam direction when the beam power is maximum, and maintains the direction; Step 4.3, the control driving device adjusts the rotation angle of the other wedge-shaped prism 10, and at the same time the optical power detection unit 13 detects the beam power of the incident light, determines the beam direction when the beam power is maximum, and maintains the direction; Combining the two methods of synchronous adjustment and sequential adjustment, first quickly adjust the rotation angle of the two wedge-shaped prisms 10 to find the best approximate position of the light beam, and then fine-tune each wedge-shaped prism 10 in turn to ensure that the coupling efficiency reaches the maximum value, taking into account both the efficiency and accuracy of the adjustment; Step 5, the controller 8 changes the pitch angle of the plane mirror 9 through the first displacement device 71 to adjust the position of the refracted light beam according to the offset and tilt angle obtained in step 2, and at the same time, the optical power detection unit 13 detects the beam power of the incident light, determines the position of the light beam when the beam power is maximum, and maintains the position, and then returns to step 3; The plane mirror 9 is used to refract the light beam. Since the pitch angle of the plane mirror 9 has a limited effect on the refraction, the position of the refracted light beam can be accurately adjusted by changing the pitch angle of the plane mirror 9. Step 6: The controller 8 moves the receiving optical fiber 42 through the second displacement device 72 to change the distance between the receiving optical fiber 42 and the second collimating and focusing device 22, determines the distance when the beam power is maximum, and maintains the distance to complete the adaptive fiber beam high-efficiency coupling.
