Detailed Description of the Embodiments

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Such as Figures 1-3As shown, a spot angle measuring device 100 in one embodiment of the utility model comprises a base 10, a fixing fixture 20, a detection device 31 and a displacement assembly 32. The fixing fixture 20 is fixed on the base 10, and is used to support and fix the component to be measured 40. The detection device 31 (such as a commonly used beam analyzer) is used to receive and detect the position of the spot projected by the component to be measured 40. The displacement assembly 32 is fixed on the base 10, and is used to support and drive the detection device 31 to approach or move away from the fixing fixture 20. When in use, the optical fiber 40 to be measured is fixed on the fixing fixture 20, and the end of the optical fiber 40 facing away from the detection device 31 is connected to the light source, and the outgoing light is projected on the detection device 31 to form a spot. The position of the detection device 31 is adjusted by the displacement assembly 32 to obtain multiple spot coordinates, and the spot angle can be obtained by calculation, which is used to provide a basis for judging the coupling quality of the optical fiber array and the microlens array.

[0025] Specifically, the displacement assembly 32 includes a track 321, a support platform 322 and a screw rod 323. The track 321 is fixed on the base 10. The support platform 322 is used to install and fix the detection device 31, which is supported on the track 321 and can move along the extension direction of the track 321. Both ends of the screw rod 323 are supported on the track 321 and are threadedly matched with the support platform 322. By rotating the screw rod 323, the support platform 322 can be driven to move under the action of the thread, so that the detection device 31 approaches or moves away from the component to be tested 40, so that the detection device 31 receives the spot coordinates at different distances.

[0026] Preferably, the screw rod 323 is mechanically driven, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, a motor 33 is fixed at one end of the track 321, which is connected to and drives the screw rod 323 to rotate. The use of a motor drive method can improve the overall operation accuracy of the displacement assembly 32, thereby improving the calculation and measurement accuracy.

[0027] In one embodiment, the fixing fixture 20 can adjust the position of the component to be tested 40 to meet different test requirements and improve flexibility. Specifically, the fixing fixture 20 includes a mounting plate 26 and an adjustment component, the adjustment component is fixed on the base 10, the component to be tested 40 is fixed on the mounting plate 26, and the adjustment component is used to adjust the position of the mounting plate 26, thereby adjusting the position or light output angle of the component to be tested 40.

[0028] Among them, the adjustment component includes a first carrier 21, which specifically includes a first bottom plate 211 and a first movable plate 212. The first bottom plate 211 is fixed on the base 10, the mounting plate 26 is supported on the first movable plate 212, and the first movable plate 212 is supported on the first fixed plate 211 and can move on the first fixed plate 211.

[0029] The first stage 21 further includes a first screw rod 213 and a first baffle 214. The first screw rod 213 is fixed on the first bottom plate 211. The first baffle 214 is fixed on the first movable plate 212 and connected to the first screw rod 213. By rotating the first screw rod 213, the first baffle 214 can be driven to move along the axial direction of the first screw rod 213, thereby driving the first movable plate 212 to move on the first bottom plate 211. The moving direction of the first movable plate 212 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the detecting device 31. Therefore, the first stage 21 is used to adjust the horizontal position of the component 40 to be measured and the horizontal position of the light spot projected on the detecting device 31.

[0030] In one embodiment, the adjusting assembly further includes a second stage 22, which is composed of a second bottom plate 221, a second movable plate 222, a second screw rod 223 and a second baffle 224. The structure of the second stage 22 is the same as that of the first stage 21 and will not be described herein again. The moving direction of the second movable plate 222 is the same as the moving direction of the detecting device 31, and is used to finely adjust the position of the component 40 to be measured, and cooperate with the displacement assembly 32 to determine the distance between the component 40 to be measured and the detecting device 31.

[0031] In another embodiment, the adjusting assembly includes a third stage 23. The third stage 23 includes a fixing block 231, a support plate 232, a third screw rod 233 and a driving block 234. The fixing block 231 is fixed on the second movable plate 222. The support plate 232 is pivotally connected to the second movable plate 222, and the mounting plate 26 is fixed on the support plate 232. The driving block 234 is pivotally connected to the side wall of the support plate 232 and is located below the support plate 232. The third screw rod 233 is installed on the fixing block 231 and can abut against one end of the driving block 234. When the third screw rod 233 is rotated, the third screw rod 233 abuts against and drives the driving block 234 to rotate, and the other end of the driving block 234 can contact and lift the support plate 232, so as to adjust the light emitting direction of the component 40 to be measured in the vertical direction.

[0032] The adjusting assembly can be composed of one / two / all of the first stage 21, the second stage 22 and the third stage 23. For example Figure 3 In the shown embodiment, the second bottom plate 221 is fixed on the first movable plate 212, and the fixing block 231 is fixed on the second movable plate 222. At this time, the adjusting assembly can perform three-way adjustment on the mounting plate 26, so as to adjust the horizontal direction and light emitting angle of the component 40 to be measured, and finely adjust the distance between it and the detecting device 31, with high flexibility.

[0033] Such as Figure 3As shown, the fixed fixture 20 further includes a pressing strip 24 fixed to the base 10. At the same time, a cushion block 25 is also fixed on the base 10. The pressing strip 24 is installed on the cushion block 25 and thus is located above the support plate 232. One end of the pressing strip 24 extends to the support plate 232 to fix the component 40 to be tested on the support plate 232, preventing it from moving erroneously during the test to ensure stability.

[0034] Here, in combination with a specific usage scenario, the spot angle measuring device 100 in this embodiment will be further described. Its usage method includes the following steps:

[0035] 1. Place the component 40 to be tested on the support plate 232 and press it tightly with the pressing strip 24. After moving the detection device 31 to a position relatively close to the component 40 to be tested, the component 40 to be tested is connected to a light source, and a spot is projected onto the detection device 31. Measure the near-field position of the spot, including the X-axis (horizontal) and Y-axis (vertical) directions, and record the position coordinates as (x1, y1).

[0036] 2. Drive the detection device 31 to move a distance L in a direction away from the component 40 to be tested through the motor 33. The detection device 31 measures the far-field position of the spot again, including the X-axis (horizontal) and Y-axis (vertical) directions, and records the position coordinates as (x2, y2).

[0037] 3. Calculate the spot angle value θ in the X direction respectively through the formula x , the spot angle value θ in the Y direction y and the comprehensive spot angle value θ BA . The specific calculation formulas are as follows:

[0038]

[0039] The spot angle value θ can be obtained through simple calculation. BA Through this spot angle value θ BA the coupling quality of the fiber array and the microlens array in the component 40 to be tested can be judged.
