Abstract

The invention provides a device for the online preparation of an FBG (fiber bragg grating) array and automatic wavelength switching, and the device comprises a photoelectric encoder which is used for transmitting a pulse signal according to the rotating angle of a driving traction wheel of a wire drawing tower; a pulse counter; a phase mask plate array; a mobile mechanism which is used for adjusting the position of the phase mask plate array, enabling phase mask interference regions to be sequentially aligned with molecular lasers for grating scribing according to a sequence. When a count value of the pulse counter reaches a set value, the laser emits the laser pulse, and a linear motor moves the phase mask plate. According to the invention, the phase mask interference regions are arranged according to the sequence. Through obtaining a fiber drawing length, the device controls the laser emission of the molecular lasers and the movement of the moving mechanism, enables the phase mask plate array to move accurately according to the design requirements. The device is high in switching speed, is good in repeatability, and is high in precision.
