Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of spectroscopy, and in particular to an interferometric spectral analysis device and analysis method. Background Technology

[0002] Existing spectroscopic analysis devices typically have the following structure:

[0003] 1: Dispersive spectral analysis device, the principle of which is to use a grating to disperse light of different wavelengths, and then perform spectral analysis on the dispersed light through a detector array.

[0004] The spectral resolution of a grating-type spectral analyzer is determined by the grating. The higher the required spectral resolution, the more exponentially the cost of manufacturing the grating increases. The accuracy and cost of the grating limit the performance of the grating-type spectral analyzer.

[0005] 2: Interferometric spectral analysis device. Its principle is to use the interference effect of light to obtain spectral analysis results by analyzing the interference image generated by the optical reflection cavity during the change process.

[0006] The resolution of an interferometric spectral analyzer is determined solely by the length of the reflecting cavity. The longer the cavity, the higher the spectral resolution. However, interferometric spectral analyzers require a cavity control system capable of precisely controlling changes in the cavity. Typically, optical communication operates in the wavelength range of 1300nm-1600nm, which is on the nm level. Therefore, controlling the reflecting cavity to the nm level is necessary to achieve nm-level spectral resolution. The high cost of large-stroke and high-precision cavity control systems significantly hinders the development of interferometric spectrometers.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an interferometric spectral analysis device and analysis method to effectively solve the problems existing in the current interferometric spectral analysis devices. Summary of the Invention

[0079] S2: Turn on the reference light source 1, and the CPU 11 controls the reflector 42 in the reflective cavity 4 to move at the set speed;

[0080] S3: While the reflector 42 moves, the CPU 11 obtains the power of the reference light interference signal through the third light signal detection unit 10; the CPU 11 obtains the power of the input light interference signal through the second light signal detection unit 9;

[0081] S4: After performing a Fourier transform on the power of the reference light interference signal, the center point is solved to obtain the interference frequency of the reference light signal;

[0082] S5: Perform a Fourier transform on the power of the input optical interference signal to obtain the proportional relationship between the interference frequency and the amplitude of each frequency point of the input optical signal; the proportional relationship of the amplitude of each frequency point of the input optical signal is the proportional relationship of the power of each frequency point of the input optical signal.

[0084] S7: The power of each frequency point of the input optical signal is calculated based on the fact that the total power of the input optical signal is equal to the sum of the powers of each frequency point of the input optical signal.

[0085] Specifically, in step S2, the CPU 11 controls the mirror 42 in the reflecting cavity 4 to move at a rate of Lnm / s; during the process of the reference light changing the length of the cavity 41 by Lnm, the number of times the reference light and its reflected light interfere with each other, superimposed or canceled is... , Let λ be the wavelength of the reference light, then the interference frequency of the reference light is expressed as:

[0086]

[0087] Assuming the wavelength of the input optical signal is Then, during the process of the input light changing length Lnm in cavity 41, the number of times the input light and its reflected light interfere with each other, superimposed or canceled is: The interference frequency of the input light is then expressed as:

[0091] in, The wavelength of the input optical signal; The interference frequency of the input optical signal; The wavelength of the reference optical signal; The interference frequency of the reference optical signal.

[0092] Following the same logic for single-wavelength signals, when the input optical signal is a broadband signal, Fourier transform analysis of the interference signal of the input light yields the wavelength of the input optical signal at each frequency point, calculated using the following formula:

[0095] In some embodiments, the power of the input optical signal at each frequency point is calculated using the following formulas:

[0096]

[0097] Where n = 0, 1, 2, ..., (1 / 2)f s f s Sampling frequency, The total power of the input optical signal; The power of the nth frequency point of the input optical signal; FFT_0:FFT_1:...:FFT_n represents the proportional relationship of the amplitudes of each frequency point obtained by performing a Fourier transform on the power signal of the input optical interference signal.

[0098] Compared to existing technologies, by performing Fourier transform analysis on the interference signal of the input light, the frequencies of the input light signal corresponding to each frequency point are obtained, and then based on... By calculating the wavelength of the input optical signal corresponding to each frequency point, this invention transforms the control requirement of the cavity 41 with nm-level precision into the wavelength stability requirement of the reference light source 1, thereby reducing the control precision requirements of the reflection cavity in the interferometric spectral analysis device.

[0099] In summary, the interferometric spectral analysis device and method provided by this invention introduces a reference light source 1 and uses digital signal processing to compare and analyze the interference signals of a known reference light signal and the input light signal to be analyzed in the same optical path. The spectral composition of the input light signal is calculated from the known reference light signal. The control requirements for the length of the cavity 41 with nm-level precision are transformed into wavelength stability requirements for the reference light source 1. This reduces the control precision requirements of the interferometric spectral analysis device on the reflection cavity while improving the spectral analysis precision to the same 0.01 nm level as the reference light source 1. This improves the performance of the interferometric spectrometer while reducing system costs.
