Scatter Properties

In the case of Rayleigh scatter, the coupling coefficient , k(z) is assumed to be a random variable with a small amplitude. An important aspect of this assumption is that each fiber, once drawn, represents a single realization of this random variable.

The persistence of the pattern in the fiber

Statistical properties

Figure 2 shows the measured spectrum of a section of single mode fiber. For an 80nm scan range centered around 1560nm, this represents a weak effect, and for most applications, the scatter can be assumed to be broad band.

The auto-correlation function for the scatter then shows the expected delta correlation as shown in figure 3

The real part of the scatter has a Gaussian distribution as shown in figure 4.

Scatter in Fiber Amplifiers

Conventional OTDRs can be used to characterize the gain along the length of an amplifying fiber, but OFDR allows this characterization to be done with much higher spatial resolution. As a demonstration of this capability, a fiber amplifier was measured at multiple levels of pump currents.

OFDR系统结构

光频域反射计结构主要包括线性扫频光源、光电探测器、频谱仪(或信号处理单元)等。

光外差探测原理

光外差探测的基本原理是基于两束光的相干。必须采用相干性好的激光器作光源,在接收信号光时同时加入参考光。参考光的频率与信号光频率极为接近,使参考光和信号光在光电探测器的光敏面上形成拍频信号。只要光电探测器对拍频信号的响应速度足够高,就能输出电信号检出信号光中的调制信号来。光学上两列从同一点出发的初相位相同的光波的拍频在数值上等于两列波的频率之差的绝对值。

OFDR工作原理

光源输出线性调频的激光,传播常数

经分光镜分为两束:一束经固定反射镜返回,其光程是固定的,为参考光;另一束进入待测光纤,其中部分后向散射朝注入端返回,为信号光。两束光在光电探测器的光敏面发生混频。

设单模测试光纤长度为 L ,耦合进入光纤 x=0 处光波的电场强度为 E0 ,光幅度衰减系数为,后向散射系数为,参考臂反射系数为 r ,则信号光和参考光的电场可分别表示为:

光电探测器的平方率特性,其输出电流

待测光纤上任一点 x 处后向散射信号所对应的光电流频率为。

Page 15: (OW1K.6) Rayleigh  Backscattering Signatures of Optical  Fibers &OFDR

若令,则,频率大小正比于散射点位置 x ,只要该频率小于光电探测器的截止响应频率,光电探测器就会输出相应频率的光电流,其幅度正比于光纤 x 处的后向散射系数和光功率的大小,从而得到沿待测光纤各处的散射衰减特性,同时可以通过测试频率的最大值来推导出待测光纤的长度,即令 x=L 则 。

OFDR系统设计

OFDR 需要计算分析的参数( 1 )光源的扫频速度( 2 )光源的扫频重复速率( 3 )光源的频率啁啾范围( 4 )光源的光功率( 5 )接收机带宽 ……

OFDR优点

高的灵敏度参考光功率比较大,而后向散射光信号功率很小,故 OFDR 探测方式的灵敏度远高于 OTDR ,也就是说在相同动态范围的条件下, OFDR 需要的光源光功率要小得多。

高的空间分辨率OTDR 分辨率收探测光脉冲宽度限制,而 OFDR 对应的是辨别待测光纤两个相邻测量点所对应的中频信号的能力,这与频谱仪接收机带宽相关。
