Abstract
Description
本願は、2011年1月31日に出願された日本国特許出願第2011-018951号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
光ファイバ特性測定装置は、周知の通り、連続光又はパルス光を光ファイバに入射させ、光ファイバ内において生ずる散乱光又は反射光を受光して光ファイバの長手方向における温度分布、歪み分布、その他の特性を測定する装置である。この光ファイバ特性測定装置では、受光される散乱光又は反射光が光ファイバに影響を及ぼす物理量(例えば、温度や応力)に応じて変化するため、光ファイバそのものがセンサとして用いられる。
光ファイバ特性測定装置で得られる信号のレベル(受光信号の強度)は、空間分解能を高くするにつれて低下するため、空間分解能を高くすれば必然的にS/N比(信号対雑音比)も低下する。上記の光スイッチは、挿入損失が3~5dB程度と大きく、S/N比を更に低下させるため、光ファイバ特性測定装置の空間分解能を向上させようとした場合に、測定精度を悪化させる要因になるという問題がある。
上記の光スイッチは、入射する光の偏波方向に応じて透過する光の強度が変動する偏波依存性を有するが、かかる特性は入射する光の偏波方向に応じて光スイッチの挿入損失が変動する特性でもある。このため、上記の光スイッチは、光ファイバ特性測定装置の空間分解能を向上させようとした場合に、測定精度を悪化させる要因になるとともに、測定の安定性及び再現性を悪化させる要因になるという問題がある。
上記の光スイッチは、動作特性が温度変化や経時変化するのを防止するためにバイアス電圧をフィードバック制御する制御装置を備えるものが多いが、構成が複雑化するとともに、フィードバック制御のための制御信号が光ファイバから射出される光に重畳されてしまい、S/N比を低下させる要因になるという問題がある。また、上記の光スイッチは、それ自体が高額であるため、光ファイバ特性測定装置のコスト低減を図る上で不利であるという問題がある。
この発明によると、光検出器から出力された検出信号のうち、光ファイバに設定された測定点近傍の光を検出して得られた検出信号の切り出しが行われ、所定の周期を有する同期信号を用いて切り出しが行われた検出信号が同期検波される。
また、本発明の光ファイバ特性測定装置は、前記同期検波装置が、前記光検出器から出力される検出信号のうち、前記光ファイバに設定された測定点近傍の光を検出して得られた検出信号を通過させることによって前記切り出しを行うタイミング調整器(18a)と、前記同期信号を用いて前記タイミング調整器を通過した検出信号を同期検波する同期検波器(18b)とを備えることを特徴としている。
また、本発明の光ファイバ特性測定装置は、前記タイミング調整器の動作周期が、前記同期信号の周期の半分の周期であることを特徴としている。
また、本発明の光ファイバ特性測定装置は、前記同期検波装置が、前記光検出器から出力される検出信号の極性を反転した反転信号を出力する反転器(21b)と、前記光検出器から出力される検出信号の極性を反転しない非反転信号を出力する非反転器(21a)と、前記反転器から出力される反転信号と前記非反転器から出力される非反転信号とを、前記光ファイバに設定された測定点近傍の光を検出して得られる検出信号が前記光検出器から出力されるタイミングで交互に出力することにより前記切り出しを行うスイッチ部(31)と、前記スイッチ部から出力される信号(S1)のフィルタリングを行うローパスフィルタ(24)とを備えることを特徴としている。
また、本発明の光ファイバ特性測定装置は、前記パルス光が前記光ファイバの他端に入射される周期が、少なくとも前記パルス光が前記光ファイバの一端と他端との間を往復するのに要する時間の2倍の時間に設定されており、前記同期信号の周期が、前記パルス光が前記光ファイバの他端に入射される周期と同じ周期であることを特徴としている。
本発明の光ファイバ特性測定方法は、所定の変調周波数で変調したレーザ光を連続光(L1)及びパルス光(L2)として光ファイバ(14)の一端及び他端からそれぞれ入射させ、前記光ファイバから射出される光を光検出器(17)で検出して前記光ファイバの特性を測定する光ファイバ特性測定方法において、前記光検出器から出力される検出信号のうち、前記光ファイバに設定された測定点近傍の光を検出して得られた検出信号の切り出しを行い、所定の周期を有する同期信号を用いて切り出しを行った検出信号を同期検波することを特徴としている。
図1は、本発明の第1実施形態による光ファイバ特性測定装置の要部構成を示すブロック図である。図1に示す通り、本実施形態の光ファイバ特性測定装置1は、光源11、光分岐器12(入射手段)、光変調器13(入射手段)、光ファイバ14、パルス変調器15(入射手段)、方向性結合器16(入射手段)、光検出器17、及び同期検波装置18を備えており、光ファイバ14の長手方向における特性(例えば温度分布や歪み分布等)を測定する。
T≧2×(2×L)/(c/n) …(1)
tpw=(2×dm)/(c/n)=1/fm …(2)
つまり、上記(1)式から、パルス変調器15がパルス光を生成する周期Tは、少なくとも、パルス光が光ファイバ14の一端と他端との間を往復するのに要する時間の2倍の時間に設定されている。
dm=(c/n)/(2×fm) …(3)
つまり、光源11における変調周波数fmを変えれば、相関ピークの間隔dmを変化させることができ、相関ピークP1~Pnの発生位置を移動させることができる。但し、プローブ光L1とポンプ光L2との光路差が0となる位置に発生する0次の相関ピークP0の発生位置は変調周波数fmを変化させても移動させることができない。このため、図3に示す通り、0次の相関ピークP0の発生位置は光ファイバ14の外部になるように設定されている。
図5は、本発明の第2実施形態による光ファイバ特性測定装置の要部構成を示すブロック図である。図5に示す通り、本実施形態の光ファイバ特性測定装置2は、同期検波装置18に代えてロックインアンプ30(同期検波装置)を備える点が第1実施形態の光ファイバ特性測定装置1と相違する。第1実施形態の光ファイバ特性測定装置1は、タイミング調整器18aとロックインアンプ18bとを別体で備える構成であったが、本実形態の光ファイバ特性測定装置2は、いわばタイミング調整器18aとロックインアンプ18bとが一体化されたロックインアンプ30を備える構成である。
