The present invention belongs to the field of
optical fiber measurement technology, and specifically relates to a distributed polarization
crosstalk fast measurement device based on optical
frequency domain frequency shift interference, the device includes a
tunable laser source module, a device to be measured module, a main interferometer module, an auxiliary interferometer module and a
signal acquisition and analysis module, and is characterized in that: a
tunable laser is used to perform fast
wavelength scanning, a main interferometer is used to perform
frequency shift on an interference beat frequency
signal, and the position and intensity of polarization
crosstalk are determined by obtaining the
optical path difference between coupled light and
transmitted light and the normalized interference
signal amplitude, while also eliminating the signal
aliasing problem caused by 1 / f
flicker noise at low frequencies and
light source frequency scanning nonlinearity. The present invention, combined with a
tunable laser, gets rid of the dependence on an
optical path scanning
delay device in polarization
crosstalk measurement, realizes an all-
fiber structure without
moving parts, enhances the reliability and stability of the test
system, and greatly improves the speed and signal-to-
noise ratio of polarization
crosstalk measurement in principle.
