Research Abstract

The FMCW reflectometry using a laser diode as a light source was developed for diagnosing and characterizing optical waveguides and optical figers. The results of the study are as follows.
1. The spatial resolution is found to be degraded due to nolinearity of the optical frequency sweep, and the two methods were developed to enhance the spatial resolution ; one is modifying the modulation waveform of the injection cuurent of the laser by using a digital filter, and the other is modulating the injection current of the laser with a triangular signal on which a rectangular signal is superimposed. The spatial resolution was improved by a factor of 6, and the experimental resolution agreed with the theoretical resolution.
2. The maximum entropy method (MEM) was used to analyze the detected signal to achieve high spatial resolution. The spatial resolution by the MEM is smaller than the conventional theoretical resolution. The spatial resolution of about 100 mum was also achieved by using the extended MEM.
3. The incoherent FMCW reflectometry was developed to diagnose long optical fibers. The spatial resolution can be improved by using a light source with narrow linewidth. The spatial resolution of 60 m was achieved at the far end of an 11 km-long optical fiber. The Rayleigh backscattering in the fiber was also detected, and the propagation loss of the fiber and the connection loss of two fibers were estimated.
