A kind of proving installation of PLC optical branching device and method
Technical field
The invention belongs to the integrated optics field, relate in particular to a kind of method of testing of PLC optical branching device, in order to improve the work efficiency of enterprise.
Background technology
Along with popularizing of FTTH, the demand of PLC optical branching device is increasing.PLC optical branching device technical indicator is excellent, and device volume is little, and the divided channel of individual devices is many, can reach 128 the tunnel.All draw tapered shunt that overwhelming advantage is arranged in large-scale production with using than optical fiber.
But the PLC device detection of hyperchannel number is very loaded down with trivial details, improves the testing efficiency of hyperchannel shunt, is the problem that has very big meaning on the practical applications.
Existing hyperchannel multiband test macro, the input end of PLC utilize photoswitch to realize multiband selection input, and the output termination multi-channel power meter of PLC shows the luminous power that records in real time.As long as aim at fiber array with the input and output of PLC, can test the multiwave loss value of full tunnel like this.
The most time consuming step of this method with the aiming at and coupling of fiber array and PLC, need manually regulate.Because waveguide is small-sized, have only micron dimension, the enlargement ratio of common camera is limited, is difficult to observe the clear coupling of whether aiming at fully.Way feasible on the engineering is, judges whether to aim at according to the real-time reading of power meter.But only under the situation that input and output are all aimed at, light power meter just has reading.Regulating input and output simultaneously wastes time and energy its aligning.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is exactly proving installation and the method that the high PLC optical branching device of a kind of efficient is provided for the defective that overcomes above-mentioned prior art existence.
The object of the invention can be realized through following technical scheme: a kind of proving installation of PLC optical branching device; It is characterized in that; This device comprises specimen holder, input end FA, receiving device, photoswitch; LED white light source, broadband infrared light source, computing machine, described specimen holder the place ahead is provided with input end FA, and the rear is provided with receiving device; The output of described LED white light source and broadband infrared light source is parallel-connected to photoswitch through optical fiber, and described computing machine connects LED white light source, broadband infrared light source, photoswitch and receiving device respectively.

The 3rd step, test
Broadband infrared light through control photoswitch control different wave length inserts in the passage of 1 * N chip to be measured, records performance number through light power meter and promptly gets and insert loss.
Described 1 * N chip to be measured is exported the opposite end waveguide for N for containing 1 input end waveguide, and wherein N is a natural number.
Described N is 8,16,32,64,128 or 256.
Described broadband infrared optical wavelength range is 1290nm~1610nm, and the test result of inserting loss is the spectrum curve that covers this wavelength band.
The wavelength that described broadband infrared light need be tested is 1310nm, 1490nm and 1550nm.
Through the polarization state of control output light source, record the Polarization Dependent Loss value of 1 * N chip to be measured.
Compared with prior art, the present invention utilizes infrared image sensor (CCD) earlier, regulates the input end of aiming at PLC.And then change light power meter, regulate the output terminal of aiming at PLC.Cooperate the design of industrial holder device, can make the switching of CCD and light power meter become very simple.Resolved into for two steps to the process of PLC coupling like this, simple and clear, improved testing efficiency.
