Description
Affiliated technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of fiber-optic grating sensor, is the sensor of surveying by optical fiber and fiber grating, surveys the method that physical quantity changes, and this physical quantity can be temperature or the like, and this method belongs to field of sensing technologies.
Background technology
We know that optical fiber is the passage of light conducting signal, because its design feature, optical fiber is very responsive to residing environment, as variation of temperature, optical fiber are shunk, and the result causes it that the variation that detects easily takes place, as the decay increase of light signal.When optical fiber is subjected to mechanical stress, pressure variation, electric field or changes of magnetic field, also above-mentioned variation can take place, therefore, many known sensors are with the variation of fiber-optic probe physical quantity.In this sensor of a part, use fiber grating, relatively be typically Bragg grating.Below we are called Bragg grating with fiber grating, but be not that application of the present invention is only only limited to Bragg grating.
Bragg grating is selected reverberator as a kind of wavelength, the wavelength of reflectance spectrum (being the reflection wavelength band) can be subjected to the influence of STRESS VARIATION and produce mobile, by the monitoring of reflection wavelength Tape movement promptly being known the situation of change of physical quantity.Existing Bragg grating proving installation is to utilize wideband light source to be injected into Bragg grating, and the measurement of the reflected light signal wavelength change of light source being carried out according to Bragg grating, but this method needs expensive instrument that reflection wavelength is carried out demodulation to be determined, this device comprises wideband light source and complicated Wavelength demodulation device, make this device Yin Gaoang in practical engineering application cost and be restricted.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to formulate the sensor of a kind of use fiber grating (as Bragg grating), to avoid above-mentioned defective.
For this reason, the present invention proposes a kind of fiber-optic grating sensor, comprise wave filter, the detector of wideband light source, optical fiber, fixed wave length and be placed on the optical fiber be positioned at measurement point be used to monitor the fiber grating that physical quantity changes, it is characterized in that:
The wave filter of-fixed wave length only allows a narrow optical wavelength band to pass through, pass through and limit other wavelength, and the wavelength band that its permission is passed through is in the reflection wavelength band of fiber grating, and has the preset wavelength difference with described reflection wavelength,
-wideband light source injects detection light from the so-called incident end of optical fiber, when monitored physical quantity variation reaches certain value, the reflection wavelength that is positioned at the fiber grating of measurement point brings to few preset wavelength difference of having drifted about above-mentioned, thereby make this reflection wavelength bring to the part that few wave filter that has covered fixed wave length allows the wavelength band that passes through, at this moment, the fiber grating of this measurement point is to the reflected light signal of the detection light signal generating of wideband light source incident, at least a portion reflected light signal can arrive detector by the wave filter of fixed wave length, thereby detects the variation of described physical quantity.
The present invention surveys to be monitored a kind of fiber-optic grating sensor that physical quantity changes, it is the variation that has utilized reflected light signal, determine the variation of the physical quantity of described measurement point: if variation has taken place near the physical quantity of being monitored a fiber grating, and the variation that takes place has reached the degree that we are concerned about, at this moment the reflection wavelength of fiber grating brings to few preset wavelength difference of having drifted about, thereby make this reflection wavelength bring to the part that few wave filter that has covered fixed wave length allows the wavelength band that passes through, at this moment, the fiber grating of this measurement point is just to the reflected light signal of the detection light signal generating of wideband light source incident, at least a portion reflected light signal can arrive detector by the wave filter of fixed wave length, this explanation has stress to exist, thereby may detect the variation of respective physical amount.
In actual engineering, we usually only need obtain the data that a part of physical quantity changes, just can reach our target, in the fire temperature warning system, we press for understanding to the state of temperature below 25 ℃ the time, we only need to set a monitoring, alarming temperature, as 65 ℃, then as the fiber grating on the optical fiber of sensor, measure this fiber grating in the time of 65 ℃ the reflection wavelength band and choose a wavelength band, the wave filter of the fixed wave length that this wavelength band of a permission of arrangement passes through before detector, described fiber grating is when normal temperature (as 20 ℃), the wavelength that the wave filter of the wavelength band of the light signal of its reflection and the fixed wave length of installation allows to pass through has wavelength difference, at this moment Fan She light signal can not be by the wave filter of fixed wave length, detector will be surveyed less than light signal, this sensor is installed in the place of monitoring, as warehouse etc., under normal conditions, environment temperature generally can not reach 65 ℃, detector is surveyed less than light signal, have only when the temperature of measurement point near or when reaching 65 ℃, the fiber grating reflection wavelength band of this measurement point will drift about and allow the wavelength band juxtaposition that passes through with the wave filter of fixed wave length, at this moment, can have the wave filter of the light signal of part reflection at least by fixed wave length, arrive detector, can monitor tangible light signal on the detector, thereby triggered the fire temperature alert if, reached the purpose of monitoring.
Above-mentioned example, also can realize with the system that wide light source and Wavelength demodulation device are formed, this system data of all fiber gratings under the continuous substantially temperature between can obtaining from normal temperature to the alarm temperature, then the temperature of measurement point near or report to the police when reaching alarm temperature, this system testing has obtained the data that have little significance in a large number as can be seen, and expensive instrument also is higher to maintenance requirement.So in similarity,, obviously be uneconomic with respect to the monitoring system that adopts the inventive method with the monitoring system that wide light source and complicated Wavelength demodulation device are formed.
Under actual engineering specifications, a value of only monitoring physical quantity usually is not enough, so the wave filter of a plurality of fixed wave length can be set, it allows different optical wavelength bands to pass through, and the wavelength band that its permission is passed through is in the reflection wavelength band of fiber grating, and has different preset wavelength differences with described reflection wavelength, thereby can detect a plurality of values that the measurement point physical quantity changes, the trend that changes of measurement point physical quantity as can be seen simultaneously is so that better monitoring.
Can a plurality of fiber gratings be set respectively at a plurality of measurement points on the optical fiber, and fiber grating has essentially identical reflection wavelength band, thus the variation of measuring the physical quantity of a plurality of points.And can determine the position of vicissitudinous measurement point according to reflected light signal and time relation.
