Abstract

The invention provides a method for demodulating a phase carrier in a Fabry-Perot (F-P) interference type optical fiber hydrophone, which is characterized by comprises the following steps: incident light is split into two beams according to a beam intensity ratio of 1:4, and one path of the beam has the light intensity of I0 through direct photoelectric detection, while the other path is shot into an optical fiber F-P cavity through a cascaded 3dB coupler; after the multiple-beam interference is formed, the reflected light intensity IR is measured; the I0 and the IR achieve that the system output is 1/T=I0/(I0-IR) through a hardware or software algorithm of a subtractor and a divider; and then the PGC demodulation is performed so as to obtain phase output. A method for applying a PGC demodulation technique in an F-P multiple-beam interference system is provided by performing reciprocal operation on an F-P cavity transmissivity and adopting new optical path design. The application range of the PGC demodulation is widened. The method can achieve signal demodulations for all F-P interferometers requiring the use of phase detections.

Description

Phase carrier demodulation method in the Fabry-Perot interference type fibre optic hydrophone

(1) technical field

What invention related to is a kind of system's output detecting method of Fabry-Perot interference type fibre optic hydrophone, specifically adopts the inventive method can realize the utilization of phase modulation and demodulation of interferometric in Fabry-Perot interference type fibre optic hydrophone.

(2) background technology

Fibre optic hydrophone is highly sensitive, small and light, be not subjected to electromagnetic interference (EMI); Vector hydrophone has good low audio frequency and infra-acoustic frequency performance, itself does not produce tangible sound field distortion, can be considered as a receiver, so its directive property is good, and performance parameter is stable, can be used for accurately measuring or long-time the measurement.Both advantages are combined, will will produce significant effects the future development of underwater sound Detection Techniques.Current emphasis is the optical fiber vector hydrophone unit in the development towing line array sonar, utilizes high sensitivity and low noise optical fiber sound pressure nautical receiving set and optical fiber acceleration transducer to realize.This not only can fundamentally solve the problem that the port and starboard target is differentiated, and can improve the spatial gain of dragging linear array, help surveying long-range weak target, so fibre optic hydrophone will become one of optimal acoustical signal receiving device in the following marine technology.

In F-P interference type optical fiber hydrophone scheme, because of multiple-beam interference, phse sensitivity is higher.Because the sensing transmission is all finished on an optical fiber, light channel structure is simple, does not have double light path inherent defects such as polarization interference.But also owing to multiple-beam interference, ripe PGC detection technique can't be directly used in F-P and interfere.

(3) summary of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide the phase carrier demodulation method in a kind of Fabry-Perot interference type fibre optic hydrophone that in the phase detection technique of the position of Fabry-Perot interference type fibre optic hydrophone, can use PGC modulation and demodulation technology.

The object of the present invention is achieved like this:

Incident light is divided into two bundles by beam intensity ratio at 1: 4, and the light intensity of one road direct sunshine electro-detection is I ₀, fiber F-P cavity is injected through the three-dB coupler of cascade in another road, behind the formation multiple-beam interference, measures reflective light intensity I _R, make I ₀, I _RBe output as by subtracter, divider hardware or software algorithm realization system

\frac{1}{T} = \frac{I_{0}}{I_{0} - I_{R}},

Next carry out the PGC demodulation, output mutually must put in place.

Or:

Incident light through three-dB coupler with light intensity I ₀Inject fiber F-P cavity and interfere, carry the transmitted light I of measured signal _TThrough opto-electronic conversion, by being transformed to the inverse output of transmissivity behind divider hardware or the computer software algorithm

\frac{1}{T} = \frac{I_{0}}{I_{T}},

Next carry out the PGC demodulation, output mutually must put in place.

The present invention has proposed a kind of method that can use the PGC demodulation techniques in the F-P interference type optical fiber hydrophone on the basis of original double light path PGC detection technique.Expanded conventional P GC The Application of Technology scope.

1, F-P interferes the mathematical expression form of output intensity

As Fig. 1, incident light is injected the fiber F-P cavity that fineness is F by three-dB coupler, and order treats that location is mutually , the reflective light intensity in F-P chamber is I _R, reflection coefficient is R, then

2, PGC technology

In the input treatment technology of interference type optical fiber hydrophone, generally adopt the disposal route of PGC, can adopt software algorithm to realize, algorithm is reliable and stable and to be convenient to digitizing integrated.As Fig. 2, the phase modulation (PM) frequency of establishing light source or PZT generation is ω _c, the output signal of typical two-beam interference is

Links such as the expansion of process Bessel's function, mixing, low-pass filtering, differentiate multiplication cross are subtracted each other, integration, high-pass filtering obtain measured signal

Linearity output.Because F-P is a multiple-beam interference, output intensity (1) formula does not satisfy the mathematical expression form of typical two-beam interference---(2) formula, thereby ripe PGC technology can't adopt.

Make the phase modulation (PM) frequencies omega _c, F-P chamber transmissivity

T = \frac{I_{0} - I_{R}}{I_{0}} = 1 - R,

Can get by formula (1) conversion

As seen, if measure

Order

A = 1 + \frac{F}{2},

B = - \frac{F}{2},

Then (3) formula is identical with (2) formula in form, and the technology of PGC just can realize in F-P interferes.

Method of the present invention has solved the intensity of light source and has risen and fallen to the influence of fibre optic hydrophone PGC demodulation, has promptly solved the parastic modulation problem.

Conventional P GC demodulation is to realize the phase carrier modulation by modulation PZT or light source injection current.The modulated light source injection current will unavoidably exert an influence to light source output power, i.e. parastic modulation.In (2) formula, A, B are the functions of incident intensity, and this just makes conventional P GC technology face this influence.And by (3) formula, A=1+F/2, B=-F/2 and incident intensity are irrelevant, only are the functions of F-P chamber fineness F, thereby follow-uply carry out the influence that the PGC demodulation is not risen and fallen by the intensity of light source.

Method of the present invention can extend to all phase-detection that adopt the various systems of Fabry-Perot interference formation.

It is typical multiple-beam interference that F-P interferes, and the phse sensitivity height is all finished in an optical fiber owing to interfere with transmission course, thereby the influence that not disturbed by asymmetry.Constitute the interfere type Fibre Optical Sensor with it and have distinct advantages.But carry out because conventional P GC demodulation is interfered at typical double light path, can't be directly used in F-P and interfere.The present invention takes new light path design by the computing reciprocal to F-P chamber transmissivity, has proposed the method for utilization PGC demodulation techniques in F-P multiple-beam interference system.Widened the range of application of PGC demodulation.All need utilize the F-P interferometer of phase-detection all can use this method to realize the signal demodulation.
