The specific steps measured using the device of above-mentioned optical fiber distributed type sound state property while sensing measurement are as follows:
1) dim light grid array optical fiber 9 is inscribed online using online wire drawing tower technology, wherein include two class gratings in optical fiber, it is narrow
Grating belt array 10 and chirp grating array 11 switch phase mask plate and chirp phase mask plate by automatic uniform, use
Excimer laser successively inscribes narrowband grating and chirp grating (using patent of invention CN201710744196.9 technology),
It asks narrowband grating and the reflectance spectrum of chirp grating not be overlapped, and is separated by 5nm or more, prevent signal cross, the reflectivity of grating
It is 0.01~0.1%, narrowband grating switches in turn with broadband chirp grating, grating spacings L, therefore, adjacent broadband chirped light
2L is divided between grid.Due to using on-line continuous to inscribe grating, sensing probe is without any solder joint, and intensity is as conventional fiber, light
Fibre 0.2~0.4dB of loss, optical fiber cabling are easy for construction.A kind of essence is realized using patent of invention CN201710122717.7 technology
Really control grating space realizes the online apparatus and method for inscribing vibrating sensing dim light grid array, it can be ensured that the spacing of grating
Error is less than 1cm, and, no cumulative errors unrelated with grating space.By the middle cardiac wave for measuring uniform narrowband dim light grid array
Long to realize quasi-static measurement, the interference signal for measuring the reflection signal between adjacent chirp broadband dim light grid realizes that dynamic sensitive is surveyed
Amount, to realize distributed sound state sensing measurement.
2) wideband light source wavelength is λ1, bandwidth is 5nm or so, for demodulating narrowband dim light grid, narrow-band light source λ2Swash for DFB
Light device, three dB bandwidth is < 1kHz, for demodulating the interference signal between chirp grating, and wideband light source spectrum lambda1With DFB
Wavelength X25nm or more is differed, by wideband light source and narrowband DFB laser by wavelength coupler 3, by scrambler 4, by modulator
5, signal is modulated into the pulse signal of periodical High Extinction Ratio, and carries out signal by erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier EDFA 7 and put
Greatly, sensor fibre is entered by circulator 12.First narrowband grating 10 is used as reference grating, keeps the grating not by temperature
It is influenced with strain.Spacing between narrowband grating is 2L.Wideband light source is reflected after narrowband dim light grid 10, and transmits chirp
Grating 11;The signal light transmission narrow band light grid 10 of Distributed Feedback Laser, are reflected by chirp grating 11.Grating 8 is broadband grating, center
Wavelength is identical as chirp grating 11, and band is wider than chirp grating 11, therefore wavelength X1Light transmitted by broadband grating 8, and wave
Long λ2Light all reflected.
3) the broadband chirp grating 8 that reflectivity is 99% or more, spectrum is as chirp grating 11;The arteries and veins of wideband light source

The coupler 18 of 3*3, the coupler and two faraday's rotating mirrors form an interferometer, and two arm length differences of faraday's rotating mirror are
2L, i.e., the spacing of adjacent two chirp grating 11.
4) be reference grating with the first narrowband grating 10 for the Wavelength demodulation of narrowband grating, i-th of narrowband grating 10 with
Delay inequality after the signal light of reference grating to the first photodetector 20 is Δ ti=2 (i-1) Lneff/c+DLDCF(λi-λr),
Wherein, LDCFFor the length of dispersion compensating fiber, neffFor the refractive index of optical fiber, c is the light velocity, and D is the dispersion of dispersion compensating fiber
Coefficient parameter.Wherein propagation delay time of the front portion between optical fiber, rear portion be after dispersion compensating fiber 15 when
Prolong, since the wavelength of reference grating does not change, when the variation of the wavelength with temperature of i-th of narrowband grating 10, color will be passed through
Compensated optical fiber is dissipated, time delay is generated, by measuring Delay Variation, so as to obtain the wavelength change Δ λ of narrowband grating 10i=Δ
ti/(DLDCF), the dispersion total amount of dispersion compensating fiber be it is certain, therefore, wavelength change and the linear variation of Delay Variation.It is logical
Cross the time delay for measuring each narrowband grating 10 and reference grating, the wavelength change of available all narrowband gratings 10, to obtain
Quasi-static transducing signal.
5) narrow band signal λ2Narrowband grating 10 is transmitted, chirp grating 11, after three circulators 12~13, same quilt are reflected
The broadband chirp grating 8 of high reflectance, after circulator 14, into there are two faraday's rotating mirrors 16~17 and 3*3 coupler
The interferometer of composition, piezoelectric ceramics PZT 19 are used to modulate two arm length differences of faraday's rotating mirror, and arm length difference is made to be equal to chirp grating
The distance between 11 2L are less than 1cm due to the interval error very little of the chirp grating in sensor fibre, make pottery when regulating piezoelectricity
When porcelain PZT makes one pair of them generate strong interference signal, other interference signals are obtained with regard to Auto-matching so as to fast demodulation
To the phase of the interference signal between each chirp grating, the Dynamic Signal (vibration or acoustic signals) of each position point is obtained.It is dry
Relate to signal by second and third, acquired by data acquisition with signal processing module after four photodetectors 21~23 and carry out signal
It handles, the phase change of the interference signal between available adjacent chirp grating, obtains vibration or sound caused by external environment
Wave signal, i.e. Dynamic Signal.
To sum up, present invention employs high-capacity optical fiber grating array fibres, and drawing is utilized in single mode optical fiber drawing process
Silk tower technology dynamic continuously inscribes weak optical fiber Bragg grating of multiple reflectivity 0.01%~0.1%, and the resistance to mechanical of grating itself is strong
, no-welding-spot identical as optical fiber is spent, big strain, high-precision sensing, and the dim light grid due to having used ultra-low reflectance are capable of providing,
The quantity of sensing unit is up to thousands of, to overcome, sensing unit caused by traditional strong grating concatenation technology is few, anti-machine
The problem of tool intensity is low, does not adapt to the variation of big strain sensing.
In addition, the present invention can distributed measurement be static simultaneously and Dynamic Signal, due to using reflectivity be 0.01%~
0.1% dim light grid array, high 2~3 order of magnitude of the random backscatter signals of luminance factor, therefore its signal-to-noise ratio is much higher than
Conventional Φ-OTDR technique sensor-based system.Wavelength demodulation uses dispersion compensation module, by measuring the time delay with reference grating
Difference obtains the wavelength shift of each sensing grating, and this method demodulation quickly, does not need length scanning, and precision is high.And sensor fibre is only
One is needed, sensor-based system is at low cost.
