The invention relates to a spiral winding type adjustable
light attenuation device based on an
optical fiber bending loss characteristic, and belongs to the technical field of
light attenuation. The device comprises a winding shaft, a shaft disc, an inlet fixing bolt, a shaft fixing bolt, a fixing column and a magnetic attraction foot stand, and the device adjusts the attenuation size by controlling the bending winding length of an
optical fiber, so that the intensity of an optical
signal is controlled, the requirement for adjusting different light intensities by
multiplexing a plurality of optical fibers can be met, and full-band attenuation adjustment is supported. Wherein the winding shaft is a cylinder with a uniform spiral track and a straight horizontal track and is used for winding optical fibers, and selection of the
radius and the length of the winding shaft can be calculated according to a formula according to an actual loss demand range; the shaft discs are respectively arranged at two ends of the winding shaft and are used for protecting the
optical fiber from being extruded and damaged and providing support for fixing the optical
fiber; the inlet fixing bolts are used for ensuring that fibers at inlets at two ends of the
fiber winding shaft are firm and reliable; the shaft fixing bolt is used for ensuring that the shaft fixing column compresses and compacts the optical
fiber; the fixed column penetrates through the shaft disc and is embedded into the horizontal track of the winding shaft, so that the optical fiber wound on the optical fiber winding shaft is firm and reliable; the magnetic base is used for adsorbing and fixing the whole device on a cabinet or a tray. The optical attenuation device has the advantages of being small in size, low in cost, high in adjustment precision, good in stability, energy-saving, environment-friendly, capable of supporting multi-optical-fiber
multiplexing adjustment and heat integration and the like, and can be widely applied to
optical communication systems.
