摘要:
Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring a residual stress and a photoelastic effect of an optical fiber, which includes: a light source; a rotary type optical diffuser distanced from the light source in a predetermined distance for suppressing the spatial coherence of a light radiated in the light source; an optical condenser for condensing the radiated light passed through the optical diffuser into a spot where the optical fiber is located; a polarizer for polarizing the light passed through the optical condenser into a 45° linear polarized light from an axis of the optical fiber; a polarization analyzer, installed at 90° angle with respect to the polariscope and attached closely with the optical fiber, to prevent the penetration by the background image of the optical fiber; an optical fiber strain unit including a strain sensor for straining the optical fiber on the polarization analyzer toward a longitudinal direction and measuring the strain on the optical fiber; an object lens for magnifying the image of the light penetrated through the optical fiber; and a charge coupled device(CCD) array for measuring the penetration variation of the optical fiber caused from the strain caused by the optical fiber strain unit over the optical fiber.

摘要:
An apparatus and method for measuring residual stress and photoelastic effect of an optical fiber is disclosed. The apparatus includes a rotating light diffuser for providing temporally averaged uniform image by restraining spatial coherence of light emitted from a light source to be completely scattered, a collecting lens for aligning the light passed through the rotating light diffuser in an optical fiber, a linear birefringence device for linearly controlling the polarization state of the aligned light input from the collecting lens, a condenser for condensing the light passed through the linear birefringence device on a place where the optical fiber is located, a fixed polarizer for transforming the polarization state of the light passed through the optical fiber to the intensity distribution by allowing the light emitted from the linear birefringence device to transmit the optical fiber, an objective lens for obtaining a magnified optical fiber image having the intensity distribution of the light transmitted the optical fiber, and a unit for measuring transmittance variation given to the optical fiber depending on locations.
