偏振消光比自動測試系統(tǒng) (CUBE-PM100 & CUBE-ER100)
描述 Description: |
在對待測保偏 (PM) 設(shè)備 (DUT) 進行偏振消光比 (PER) 測量時,如果光源的 PER 低或未與 PM 光纖軸對準,通常會產(chǎn)生較大的 PER 測量不確定性。為減少這種測量不確定性,Inline Photonics 自豪地推出了業(yè)內(nèi)首個自動化 PER 測量雙組件系統(tǒng),它能夠自動消除 PER 測量中的誤差來源。該雙組件系統(tǒng)包括一個偏振最大化模塊 (CUBE-PM100) 和一個 PER 測量模塊 (CUBE-ER100) ,它們協(xié)調(diào)工作,自動優(yōu)化線性偏振光到 DUT 的 PM 尾纖角度,同時可以高速測量 PER。它們將總 PER 測量時間(包括設(shè)置時間)縮短至兩分鐘以內(nèi),同時保證高測量精度,測量不確定性小于 0.25 dB,這在測量時間和精度上比傳統(tǒng) PER 測量系統(tǒng)提高了十倍以上。
CUBE-PM100 是一個電動線性偏振光發(fā)生器,將輸入的寬光譜光轉(zhuǎn)換為高線性偏振光(PER > 45 dB),并將光耦合到自由空間中的 PM 光纖中。電機可以精細調(diào)整線性偏振光與 PM 光纖軸之間的角度,以實現(xiàn)超過 45 dB 的最大 PER。
CUBE-ER100 是一款高性能的 PER 測量儀,具有 52 dB 的 PER 測量范圍、0.028 度的角分辨率、600nm 到 1620nm 的寬工作波長范圍,以及高達每秒 50 個數(shù)據(jù)點的快速測量速度。
CUBE-PM100 和 CUBE-ER100 各自配備一個全速 USB 2.0 端口用于計算機控制,以及一個 UART 端口用于與 Inline Photonics 的其他 LabCUBE? 模塊進行互連,以擴展功能。CUBE-ER100 還具有兩個模擬輸出,用于 PM 光纖自動對準系統(tǒng)中的閉環(huán)控制,以及兩個通用 TTL 輸入/輸出,用于測量和控制同步。
CUBE-PM100 旨在替代傳統(tǒng) PER 測量系統(tǒng)中的在線偏振器和費時的融合拼接過程。用戶只需通過兩個 FC 光纖裸纖適配器分別將 DUT 的輸入和輸出 PM 光纖連接到 CUBE-PM100 輸出端和 CUBE-ER100 輸入端。然后,CUBE-PM100 將通過 UART 端口自動從 CUBE-ER100 讀取 PER 測試結(jié)果,并通過優(yōu)化 CUBE-PM100 中的對準角度來檢索最大 PER。有了這個雙組件系統(tǒng),您再也不必擔心 PM 光纖或設(shè)備的 PER 測量不確定性。
In the polarization extinction ratio (PER) measurement of a polarization maintaining (PM) device under test (DUT), large PER measurement uncertainties often arise if the PER of the light source is low or is not well aligned with the PM fiber axis. To minimize such measurement uncertainties, In-line Photonics is proud to introduce the industry’s first automated PER measurement duo, which can automatically eliminate the error sources in the PER measurements. The duo comprises a polarization maximizer cube (CUBE-PM100) and a PER meter cube (CUBE-ER100), which are coordinated to automatically optimize the linear polarization into the PM fiber pigtail of DUT while measuring the PER at high speed. Collectively, they reduce the total PER measurement time (including setup time) to under two minutes while assuring a high measurement accuracy with an uncertainty of less than 0.25 dB, which are more than ten times the improvement for both the measurement time and accuracy over conventional PER measurement systems.
CUBE-PM100 is a motorized linear polarization generator that converts input broadband light to highly linearly polarized light (PER > 45 dB) and couples the light into a PM fiber in free space. A motor can finely adjust the angle between the linear polarization and the PM fiber axis to achieve an over 45 dB maximum PER.
The CUBE-ER100 is a high-performance PER meter with a PER measurement range of 52 dB, an angular resolution of 0.028o, a wide operating wavelength range from 600nm to 1620nm, and a fast measurement speed of up to 50 data points per second.
CUBE-PM100 and CUBE-ER100 each come with a full-speed USB 2.0 port for computer control and a UART port for interconnecting with other LabCUBETM modules from In-line Photonics for expanded functionalities. CUBE-ER100 also has two analog outputs for the closed-loop control in the PM fiber auto-alignment system and two general-purpose TTL inputs/outputs for measurement and control synchronization. CUBE-PM100 is designed to replace the inline polarizers and the time-consuming fusion splicing between the inline polarizer and the DUT in conventional PER measurement systems. Instead, the user connects the input and output PM fibers of DUT to CUBE-PM100 output and CUBE-ER100 input through two FC bare-fiber adapters, respectively. Then the CUBE-PM100 will automatically read PER test results from CUBE-ER100 through the UART port and retrieves the maximum PER by optimizing the alignment angle in CUBE-PM100. With the duo, no more worries about the PER measurement uncertainties of PM fibers or devices.
