The invention discloses a precise length matching method in
optical fiber interference optical paths. The method is suitable for a Michelson type interference
optical path and an M-Z type interference
optical path. The Michelson type interference
optical path or the M-Z type interference optical path is connected with light sources with filters with different spectral widths, interference fringes are observed through a
charge coupled device (CCD), preliminary judgment is carried out, differences of optical lengths of the two optical paths are reduced, the interference contrast ratios of the two optical paths are detected through a photoelectric
detector, by means of comparison of the contrast ratios, the relative length of the optical lengths of the two optical paths is precisely judged, and the optical lengths of the two optical paths are matched in the method of abrading the
tail ends of optical fibers of the optical paths. According to the method, the two optical paths are precisely matched with each other in a micron-sized mode, the spectral widths of
usable light sources in the interference optical paths are widened,
phase noise of the light sources and influences of the
noise in the optical paths on the whole interference
system are reduced, and the
signal-to-
noise ration and sensitivity of an interference-type
optical sensing system are significantly improved.
