(2) in the pump light transmission channel, continuous pump light is modulated into interrupted square wave train pulse by chopper.If what measure is to load the preceding transient state reflected signal of optical fiber, then interrupted square wave pump light pulse directly transfers to condenser lens.If what measure is the transient state reflected signal behind the loading optical fiber, the pump light pulse of then from chopper, exporting is focused into Optical Fiber Transmission through condenser lens earlier, from optical fiber, transfers to condenser lens after the outgoing.
(3) will survey light via a corner cube mirror after, enter into the time delay light path, mainly be the time delay of surveying light through step motor control, so that form an optical path difference between pump light and the detection light.
(4) pump light with survey light respectively from separately transmission channel outgoing after condenser lens converges to the sample surfaces same point, surface reflection is received by detector, gets into lock-in amplifier and computer system.
(5) draw film transient state reflectance varies curve through computer software, and draw CHROMATIC DISPERSION IN FIBER OPTICS according to the corresponding constantly step size computation of reflectivity sudden change in the curve.
This method is with highly sensitive; The femtosecond laser pump probe technology that antijamming capability is strong is used for CHROMATIC DISPERSION IN FIBER OPTICS is tested; Optical fiber dispersion measurement system is placed under the conventional environment of laboratory; Ultrafast reflectance varies process to material sample surface (normally metallic film, like chromium, nickel etc.) is carried out detection study, thereby calculates the chromatic dispersion of testing fiber.Obtain experimental data degree of accuracy height, good reliability through this technology, and method of testing is easy, good reproducibility is applicable to the measurement of various types of optical fiber chromatic dispersion.
