Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to optical detective technology, particularly a kind of method and application thereof that utilizes laser feedback to determine incident angle.
Background technology
Optical waveguide is basic parts important in the integrated optics.Be based upon the optical device on the plane light wave waveguide technology, have that cost is low, volume is little, be convenient to batch process, good stability and being easy to and advantage such as other device is integrated.At present, integrated optical device is being brought into play important effect in applications such as communication, military affairs, electric power, astronomy, sensing.The refractive index of planar optical waveguide and film thickness are the bases of design and fabrication fiber waveguide device, and therefore, high Precision Detection planar optical waveguide parameter has crucial research and using value.At present, the refractive index of detection plane optical waveguide and the technology of film thickness are the prism-coupled methods simultaneously, the basic comprising of prism-coupled measuring system as shown in Figure 1, it detects principle: employing prism-coupled method excites the guided mode in the waveguide, the incident light that enters prism is after the base of prism is reflected, from the another side outgoing of prism, by the detector measurement reflective light intensity; When the incident angle of light beam on the prism base satisfies coupling condition (this moment, this angle was called synchro angle), the incident light energy is converted into the energy of guided mode, reflective light intensity is die-offed, regulate the incident angle of light beam at prism surface, after incident light is perpendicular to the prism plane of incidence, the reflective light intensity curve of beginning measuring beam when the incident angle of prism surface changes, a trough that occurs on the curve is corresponding to a guided mode in the planar waveguide, measure the corresponding incident angle in trough place, can calculate the synchro angle and the effective refractive index of corresponding guided mode; Measure the incident angle of adjacent three guided modes, utilize the waveguide eigenvalue equation again, can calculate the refractive index and the thickness of waveguide film.In this measuring technique, determining of initial angle is one of key factor that influences measuring accuracy.At present, in the self-built prism-coupled test macro in various laboratories, 0 ° of reference angle determine that whether having entered light source emergent light hurdle with eye-observation by the hot spot of prism surface beam reflected carries out, this is a kind of easy method, but precision is not high; In commercial tester, for example, the Metricon of the U.S.
TMThe prism-coupled instrument SPA series of 2010 prism-coupled instrument and Korea S all has to be equipped with to be exclusively used in the automated calibration system of determining 0 ° of reference angle, has therefore obviously increased the cost of instrument.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the shortcoming of prior art, a kind of method of utilizing laser feedback to determine incident angle is provided, this method does not need 0 ° of reference angle calibration system, but the accuracy of detection that can make incident angle reaches the minimum explanation angle of corresponding rotatable parts in the instrument, thereby both improved accuracy of detection, but the production cost of lowering apparatus again.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of above-mentioned application that utilizes laser feedback to determine the incident angle method.
Purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: a kind of method of utilizing laser feedback to determine incident angle, specifically be with beam of laser from incident angle more than or equal to 0 ° ± 4 ' the optional position begin incident, the direction that allows light source or planar interface reduce along incident angle relative to incidence point is rotated continuously by 0 ° of position, require simultaneously that incident beam remains in the same plane of incidence in the rotation process, and the incident angle variation range has comprised each angle of required measurement; Reflective light intensity curve when measuring the incident angle variation, after curve launched in mapping software, corresponding to incident angle be 0 ° ± 4 ' near the interval in, because laser feedback (can be entered the resonator cavity of laser instrument by the light hurdle by the prism surface beam reflected when beam of laser, to cause laser instrument output intensity and the variation of exporting light frequency) make output intensity produce trickle fluctuation, the minimum trough point in this interval is defined as 0 ° of reference angle; The rotation step number of certain point multiply by the step-length angle value with respect to the displacement of 0 ° of reference angle on the reflective light intensity curve, is the corresponding incident angle of this point on the curve.
Because the variation of light source output intensity lags behind the reflected light that enters light source, to same measurement point, other test condition of maintenance system is constant, averages to rotating the step number displacement that obtains clockwise and counterclockwise, the step-length angle value is multiply by in average step number displacement, is exactly the corresponding incident angle of this point.
Described mapping software is that Excel, Origin, Matlab or other have the software of similar functions.
The above-mentioned method of utilizing laser feedback to determine incident angle can be applicable to calculate the synchro angle and the effective refractive index thereof of each guided mode of planar waveguide, by the incident angle and the planar waveguide eigenvalue equation of adjacent three guided modes, can calculate the refractive index and the thickness of waveguide film.In addition, in other some optical detecting instruments and equipment, also relate to the mensuration of incident angle, for example, ellipsometer, angular instrument etc., to this, the inventive method also can be used effectively.Therefore, the present invention has using value preferably in optical detection.
The present invention has following advantage and effect with respect to prior art: (1) precision height; Utilize the precision of 0 ° of definite reference angle of the inventive method can reach the angle of minimum resolution of the corresponding rotatable parts of instrument, so can high-precision mensuration incident angle.In the prism-coupled system that the experimental teaching that the inventive method is applied to Shanghai Communications University and provides is used, the measuring accuracy of refractive index can reach ± and 0.0001; And, adopt conventional method for same measuring system, even experienced technician, measuring accuracy also can only reach ± and 0.001.(2) simple, convenient; Utilize the inventive method need not adopt 0 ° of special reference angle calibration system, simplified operational procedure, efficient is higher.(3) cost is low; Because the inventive method can realize the function of existing 0 ° of reference angle calibration system,, thereby can obviously reduce the production and the use cost of equipment, better economy so alternative fully its is applied to the field that may use.(4) applied range; The present invention can be used for relating to the technical field that incident angle is measured, so range of application is wider, and good market prospect.
