Description of the Invention (I) ′ Field of the Invention: The present invention relates to a device for measuring the optical characteristics of waveguide fibers, especially a device using optical switching light sources or sensors. Background of the Invention: Optical measurement of waveguide fibers is an expensive part of the measurement process. This is especially the case for multimode fiber measurement, which includes bandwidth, attenuation, numerical aperture, heart core, and different mode delays. Traditionally, optical measurement systems use optical taps and integral optical components, which include lenses and movable mirrors to meander optical paths and combine different measurement signals. To establish a test fiber connection, use an XYZ translation stage in front of the final lens in front of the sensor. Translation stages are known to be sensitive to temperature and not tolerable in moving parts. The light-projecting end of the fiber is connected to the appropriate measurement: the light source. + Because the optical characteristics of a specific multimode fiber, that is, the bandwidth and attenuation are projection-sensitive, usually more than one measurement of the required projection conditions is used. In addition, measurements at more than one wavelength often require many projection end connections. As a result, these measurement taps are very slow, difficult to align and remain aligned, and their surface area is about a few square meters. To maintain '' 'reproducibility, the tap must be calibrated periodically using standard fiber optics. It is usually a time-consuming and costly repeated measurement. Head M, the standard optical specifications for multimode fiber performance specifications include the measurement point size and the projection conditions of the numerical aperture, which excite all modes of the multimode waveguide fiber. The projection conditions are called overfilling conditions and fiber optic testing in the industry. The best standard is applicable to the Chinese Prisoner's Standard (CNS) 8-4 specification (210X 297). (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)

The subtraction test is performed using either effective or limited projections, which is called finite phase space projection (LPS) and is defined in f0tp 50. The LPS projection is similar to a 30 micron dot size projection, which will be explained below. 'For now, the need to optimize multimode fiber for laser light sources has increased the bandwidth measurement for the number of different projection conditions. Therefore increasing the number of connections at the measurement tap will make the problem worse. There is therefore a need for a fiber optic measurement device that provides ease of connection and alignment of the device element and the fiber under test. Switching the projection ends of waveguide fibers between different wavelength light sources or projection conditions should be fast and reproducible. The invention complies with inexpensive, fast, and more reliable waveguide fiber measurement. Important points of the invention: One aspect of the present invention relates to measuring optical waveguide fiber devices. On the test day: using the χ1 optical switch at the end of the fiber projection and using the 1 × M optical switch at the end of the fiber when testing . The light source has the required wavelength and projection conditions, that is, the point size and the numerical aperture are connected to the switch N, called —. The miscellaneous system connects her to one of the city's hanging ends. The result is that the fiber can be connected between the two switches and remain connected for all required measurements. The projection end is switched to select the miscellaneous pieces of the holding wire, that is, the mold power distribution. The sensor end switch selection will maintain the power distribution of the light mode of the fiber leaving the fiber under test. For the system, the financial test fiber first A7 A7 via the ^^! Central ^^ bureau staff to eliminate '->.:^; ^^.! ^-: 1 connected between the switches to establish, for example, the bottom line projection power or Projection pulse width. Therefore, in the bandwidth measurement, the pulse width passing through the fiber under the test condition is compared with the reference pulse width. The same comparison is made for the attenuation measurement, except that the power measurement leaving the fiber is compared with the projected power in the test case. In one embodiment of the present invention, the point size or numerical aperture 投射 of the projected light varies with different light sources. Certain light sources are single-mode lasers. In the preferred embodiment, the spot size of the single-mode laser light source is in the range of 8 microns to 30 microns. In another embodiment, the point size or numerical aperture of the projected light may be limited such that not all modes carrying power of the multimode fiber are excited. Another embodiment of a measurement device includes an OTDR via a 1x2 coupling coupled to a switch so that some reflected power of light is projected into each end of the fiber. The details of the OTDR connection are shown in Figure 1. Other features and advantages of the present invention will be disclosed in the following detailed description, and those skilled in the art will understand or understand by implementing the detailed description of the present invention, the scope of the patent application and the disclosure of the drawings. —People understand that the previous general description and the following detailed description are only examples, and are intended to provide a concept or framework to understand the principles and characteristics of the present invention. Attached to provide a further understanding of the present invention, and to form part of the brother's book. Guan shows the essence of the present invention, and the accompanying description serves to explain the principle and operation of the present invention.
