The invention provides a
delay time measuring circuit for an
optical fiber delay line. Narrow-pulse lasers emitted by a
laser unit of a
laser pulse transmitting part are divided into two paths through an
optical fiber branching device. A
laser pulse receiving part comprises photoelectric detectors,
automatic gain control circuits and moment
discriminator circuits, wherein the photoelectric detectors, the
automatic gain control circuits and the moment
discriminator circuits are all arranged in two same sets. One path of lasers directly enter the first photoelectric
detector, and the other path of narrow-pulse lasers enter the second photoelectric
detector through the
optical fiber delay line to be measured. Two paths of converted electric signals are connected to the corresponding moment
discriminator circuits through the corresponding
automatic gain control circuits respectively. Output of the first moment discriminator circuit and output of the second moment discriminator circuit are connected to a start channel and a stop channel of a time digital
processing module respectively, and the output of the second moment discriminator circuit is connected to a master control module connected with an upper computer. The time different between the timing start signals and the timing termination signals is acquired through the digital
processing module, the timing start signals and the timing termination signals are converted into digital signals, the digital signals are transmitted to the upper computer to be displayed through the master control module, and a measurement result is output. By the adoption of the
delay time measuring circuit,
picosecond-level
delay time measurement is achieved, accuracy and the
refresh rate are high, and implementation is easy.
