Development of the inspection system for the splice plane of the cascaded fiber

To get better EDFA performance, we have to improve the coupling efficiency of semiconductor laser diode(LD) and fiber optic; also, increase the LD¡¦s power to achieve. There are plenty of ways to have higher coupling efficiency out there. Some of them even can reach 90% or better coupling efficiency. However, because of light field property, high-power LD output will not be able to apply to high coupling efficiency structure. Therefore, using cascaded fiber can improve coupling efficiency and maintain its characteristic in high-power laser output environment.
Cascaded fiber is connecting SMF and GIF together. Although cascaded fiber can increase high-power LD output of coupling efficiency, it has 5% to 10% of loss during manufacture because of the inspect error of melting surface. We use CCD to observe the cascaded fiber¡¦s melting surface. Then, we pair with special light source to do the examination. Thus, we can overcome the obstacle, do automatically manufacture of the cascaded fiber in a small area, and reduce the coupling loss of cascaded fiber.
