摘要
根据光纤传感测量中光源的选取原则,将半导体激光器作为光纤传感器的光源并选取单模光纤作为尾纤,基于光学设计软件Zemax纯非序列光学系统,设计了一种半导体激光器与单模光纤的耦合系统。通过分析半导体激光器的光束特性及半导体激光器与单模光纤的耦合模场理论,由一个球透镜和一个准直透镜构成组合透镜耦合方式,达到提高耦合效率和容忍度的目的。设计时在非序列光学系统下进行了百万次光线追迹,仿真得到所设计系统的耦合效率为78%左右,而实验测试结果为69.11%,由此对误差产生的原因进行了分析。
According to the principle of choosing the light source in the fiber optic sensing measurement, semiconductor laser is used as the light source of fiber optic sensor and single-mode fiber is used as the tail fiber of light source. Based on optical design software Zemax's pure non-sequential components, a coupling system of semiconductor laser and single-mode fiber is designed. By analyzing the beam characteristics of the semiconductor laser and the coupled mode theory of semiconductor laser and single-mode fiber, the combined lens consists of a ball lens and a collimating lens for the purpose of improving the coupling efficiency and adjusting tolerance. The simulation results show that the coupling efficiency can reach about 78% by using one million ray traces on non-sequential components, while the experimental test result is 69.11%, accordingly, the reasons for the difference between the experiment and the simulation results are analyzed.
