Y-waveguide is widely used in the integrated optics,among which the beam-splitting ratio and insertion loss are the most critical parameters. The measurement setups and methods for the two parameters are introduced. The temperature is the most important factor to the stability of Y-waveguide. As for the insertion loss, the measurement setup was built up based on the measurement principle, and the factors which affected the measurement of the insertion loss were analyzed. As for the beam-splitting ratio, the output luminous power for two tail fibers of Y-waveguide was measured respectively. In different temperature condition, we study the error of FOG by various beam-splitting ratio after working out the beam-splitting ratio according to the formula. Then put into compensation implement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
