A kind of conventional photoelectric measuring device of light power meter has a wide range of applications in fiber optic communication network, Broadcasting Cable Network construction and O&M.The measuring principle of light power meter is: light signal is radiated on photodetector, and light signal is converted to electric signal, is back-calculated to obtain optical power value by the measurement of voltage amplitude.For fiber optic communication network and Broadcasting Cable Network, for making full use of fibre circuit resource, on an optical fiber, often there is the light signal of multiple wavelength in transmission.Such as, on wave division multiplexing WDM network, may there is the laser of tens wavelength to transmit simultaneously; And for example, in Fiber to the home network, use 1310nm, 1490nm and tri-wavelength of 1550nm on same optical fiber, to transmit different information (use descending 1490nm and up 1310nm wavelength to transmit data and voice, use 1550nm to transmit video) simultaneously.And for the measurement of power of concrete light signal that is sent to user, because the photoelectric transformation efficiency of photodetector is relevant to wavelength, for obtaining optical power value accurately, need to know in advance incident light wavelength.Therefore, on light power meter, all there is a button of selecting wavelength, by this button switch test wavelength (1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm and 1625nm), be converted to the performance number of corresponding wavelength.If but wavelength the unknown of light signal to be measured or the selection of user's wavelength are improper, can cause measured deviation.Traditional wavelength measurement adopts the method for grating beam splitting more, and complex structure, bulky cannot be integrated in small-sized test instrumentation.
ILX Lightwave company provides a kind of desk-top instrument that can simultaneously realize power and wavelength measurement, its principle is that incident light is after semi-permeable mirror, power is divided into two, wherein a road light signal is directly converted to electric signal to detector, another road light signal arrives detector and is converted to electric signal after color filter, utilizes the ratio of this two path signal to realize wavelength measurement.Because incident optical signal needs successively process semi-permeable mirror and color filter, loss is large, is unfavorable for acquisition of signal, and the measuring accuracy of power and wavelength is lower.
