Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of extinction ratio testing, in particular to an optical fiber buffer mechanism based on optical fiber extinction ratio testing. Background Art
[0002] For the test of optical fiber extinction ratio, the test system is mainly composed of an incoherent light source, an adjustable polarizer, a polarization-maintaining mode field adapter, a cladding light stripper and an extinction ratio tester. The two ends of the test optical fiber are connected between the polarization-maintaining mode field adapter and the extinction ratio tester, and a bare fiber section is required on the test optical fiber, that is, the coating layer on the surface of the optical fiber is stripped off and immersed in the cladding light stripper for use.
[0003] The main body of the test optical fiber can be a short optical fiber specially cut and cut for testing, a single optical fiber product with a fixed length, or an optical fiber reel product with a longer length. Since the distance between the polarization-maintaining mode field adapter and the extinction ratio tester is constant and relatively small, the length of the test optical fiber may not match the test optical fiber, that is, the test optical fiber is too long.
[0004] If the test optical fiber is too long, the test site will be cluttered, which is not conducive to sorting and recycling, and the immersion positioning of the bare fiber segment, which is not conducive to the operation of the staff. At the same time, for the optical fiber at the position of the cladding light stripper, if the optical fiber length is too long, it may produce random direction pulling force on the bare fiber segment in the cladding light stripper, affecting the stability of the bare fiber segment position, thereby affecting the test accuracy.
[0005] Therefore, designing a mechanism that can buffer the excess length of an overlong test optical fiber is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
