Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model discloses a detection device belongs to optical filter detection device technical field, specifically related to a kind of infrared wavelength optical filter full-angle incident optical characteristic detection device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the manufacture of broadband light source, often need to use different wavelength narrowband light source to couple out broadband light source, and try to reduce the loss of optical power in coupling, which requires optical wavelength division device, that is, optical filter.

[0003] Optical filter can selectively pass or reflect light of a specific wavelength, and light meeting the design wavelength condition is allowed to pass through or reflect by the filter, so as to realize screening or synthesis of light of different wavelengths.

[0004] As shown in Figure 1 The optical transmission characteristic of a typical short-wavelength optical filter after light is incident on the filter at 45 degrees is shown. When light enters the filter at an angle of 45 degrees, light with a wavelength below 780 nanometers is completely reflected by the filter, and light with a wavelength above 840 nanometers is transmitted through the filter. Part of the light with a wavelength between 780 and 840 nanometers (infrared wavelength) is transmitted, and part is reflected, thereby realizing screening of light of different wavelengths.

[0005] Whether the optical characteristics of the optical filter meet the design requirements will directly affect the quality of the broadband light source, which requires detection of the optical filter. Since the optical filter is used for combining light of different wavelengths, it is different from combining light of different wavelengths with laser. On the one hand, the loss of light passing through the filter or reflecting on the filter surface needs to be considered, and the spectral shape after passing through the filter also needs to be considered to meet the requirements of the broadband light source. In this way, the narrowband light source for combining light must have single-mode characteristics. In the case of fiber coupling of incident light and outgoing light, the spot diameter is very small (usually less than 0.5 mm), and fiber collimator must be used for coupling. Due to the limitation of the packaging shell of the broadband light source device, the size of the optical filter is very small, generally not more than 1.5 mm, which brings special requirements for the detection of the optical filter.

[0031] In one embodiment, the tail optical fiber of the output end optical fiber collimator is connected to a spectrum analyzer through a joint.

[0032] The working mode of the utility model will be specifically described below in combination with the embodiments:

[0033] Embodiment 1:

[0034] As shown in Figure 2The detection principle of the utility model is: short wavelength fiber collimator 21, fiber collimator 22 and fiber collimator 23 are all short wavelength fiber collimators, short wavelength fiber collimator 21 is input fiber collimator, fiber collimator 22 and fiber collimator 23 are output fiber collimators. In actual use, fiber collimator 22 and fiber collimator 23 can be a fiber collimator, and the rotation device of the fiber collimator coupling table can rotate from the position of fiber collimator 22 to the position of fiber collimator 23, that is, 0~180 degree angle rotation can be realized. Optical filter 24 is the optical filter to be tested and is installed on the rotatable optical filter adjusting table.

[0035] Therefore, the device has at least input fiber collimator adjusting table, output fiber collimator adjusting table and optical filter adjusting table. Due to the reversibility of light, a broadband light source is used to input from short wavelength fiber collimator 21, and the optical filter adjusting table is rotated to set the incident angle of the incident light of short wavelength fiber collimator 21 to the filter from 0 degree (perpendicular incidence) to slightly less than 90 degrees (when the incident angle is 90 degrees, the incident light is almost parallel to the filter, and there is no testing significance). The reflection optical characteristics of the optical filter at this angle can be tested at the position of fiber collimator 22, or the transmission optical characteristics of the optical filter at this angle can be tested at the position of fiber collimator 23. Fiber collimator 22 or 23 is output to the optical spectrum analyzer (OSA), and the reflected or transmitted spectrum shape can be clearly seen by the OSA, so that the transmission or reflection optical characteristics of the filter can be obtained.

[0036] Since the utility model is mainly suitable for the infrared short wavelength range, short wavelength fiber collimator 21, fiber collimator 22 and fiber collimator 23 are all short wavelength single-mode fiber collimators.

[0037] Since the filter adjusting table can be adjusted by 360 degrees, even if the position of short wavelength fiber collimator 21 does not change, the incident angle between the fiber collimator and the filter can be adjusted from 0 degrees (perpendicular incidence) to slightly less than 90 degrees (near horizontal incidence) in principle. In practical application, 45 degree incidence and 0 degree (perpendicular incidence) are most.

[0038] Embodiment 2:

[0039] Combined with Figure 3 And Figure 4 The composition of the detection device of the utility model is specifically explained:

[0040] The filter to be detected 1 is placed on the filter fixture 4, the filter fixture 4 is connected with the electric rotary table 6 through screws, and the electric rotary table 6 is fixedly connected with the bottom plate 11 through screws. The input end optical fiber collimator 3 is fixed by the first collimator clamp 7, the first collimator clamp 7 is installed on the first five-dimensional adjustment table 2 through screws, and the first five-dimensional adjustment table 2 is fixedly connected with the bottom plate 11 through screws. The output end optical fiber collimator 5 is fixed by the second collimator clamp 8, the second collimator clamp 8 is installed on the second five-dimensional adjustment table 9 through screws, the sliding block of the circular arc guide rail 10 is fixedly connected with the second five-dimensional adjustment table 9 through screws, the second five-dimensional adjustment table 9 can rotate and move along the circular arc guide rail under the action of the sliding block, and the circular arc guide rail 10 is fixedly connected with the bottom plate 11 through screws.

[0041] Embodiment 3:

[0042] In combination Figure 3 And Figure 4 The working principle of the utility model is specifically explained as follows:

[0043] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram for detecting full-angle transmission optical characteristics of an infrared short-wavelength optical filter.

[0044] When working, the tail end of the input end optical fiber collimator 3 is fused with a short-wavelength broadband light source SLD light emitting device, the output light of the SLD is emitted from the input end optical fiber collimator 3, the first five-dimensional adjustment table 2 on the input side and the second five-dimensional adjustment table 9 on the output side are adjusted, so that the light is transmitted through the filter to be detected 1 at a certain angle and coupled into the output end optical fiber collimator 5. The tail end optical fiber of the output end optical fiber collimator 5 is connected with a spectrum analyzer (OSA) through a joint, and the spectrum of the light transmitted through the filter 1 can be observed from the spectrum analyzer (OSA).

[0045] The electric rotary table 6 is controlled to rotate at different angles continuously, so that the filter to be detected 1 rotates at the same angle as the rotary table 6. In the case that the input end optical fiber collimator 3 does not change, the angle between the input end optical fiber collimator 3 and the filter to be detected 1 changes, that is, the incident angle of the input light to the filter changes, and the adjustable range is 0-89.9 degrees (90 degrees means that the incident light is parallel to the filter plane, and there is no testing significance). The spectrum of the light transmitted through the filter to be detected 1 at different angles can be observed through the spectrum analyzer, the detected spectrum is compared with the designed transmission optical characteristics of the filter, and whether the design of the filter meets the requirements can be known.

[0046] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram for detecting full-angle reflection optical characteristics of an infrared short-wavelength optical filter.

[0047] The second five-dimensional adjustment table 9 is rotated by 90 degrees along the annular guide rail, so that the central axes of the input optical fiber collimator 3 and the output optical fiber collimator 5 are perpendicular to each other.

[0048] In operation, the end fiber of the input fiber collimator 3 is fused with a short wavelength broadband light source SLD light emitting device, the output light of the SLD is emitted from the input fiber collimator 3, and by adjusting the first five-dimensional adjustment table 2 on the input side and the second five-dimensional adjustment table 9 on the output side, the light is reflected and coupled from the filter 1 to the output fiber collimator 5 at a certain angle. The tail fiber of the output fiber collimator 5 is connected to the optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) through a joint, and the spectrum of the light reflected from the filter 1 and entering the output fiber collimator 5 can be observed from the optical spectrum analyzer (OSA).

[0049] The electric rotary table 6 is controlled to rotate continuously at different angles, so that the filter 1 rotates at the same angle as the rotary table 6. In the case where the input fiber collimator 3 does not change, the angle between the fiber collimator 3 and the filter 1 changes, that is, the incident angle of the input to the filter changes, and the adjustable range is 0-89.9 degrees (90 degrees is parallel to the plane of the filter, which has no testing significance). The spectrum of the incident light reflected from the filter 1 at different angles can be observed by the optical spectrum analyzer, and the detected spectrum is compared with the designed reflection optical characteristics of the filter, so that whether the design of the filter meets the requirements can be known.

[0050] Figure 3 And Figure 4 The schematic diagram of testing the transmission and reflection optical characteristics of the optical filter respectively, which can be realized in one device by using a circular arc guide rail. By adjusting the rotation angle of the filter, the incident angle of the input fiber collimator and the optical filter can be adjusted, and the adjustment range is from 0 degrees to 89.9 degrees.

[0051] The optical filter full-angle reflection and transmission optical characteristic detection device provided by the utility model has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating, and not limited to the implementation. For ordinary skilled in the art, on the basis of the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation. The obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the utility model.
