Description

Phase synchronization optical fiber distributed vibration measuring device and driver
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a synchronous optic fibre distributing type vibration measurement device of phase place and driver can be used for optic fibre distributing type vibration measurement system, realizes the high accuracy measurement of external environment vibration.
Background
for-OTDR systems, the accuracy of the phase measurement can significantly affect the vibration measurement accuracy and spatial resolution of the system. On one hand, the existing system improves the stability of light wave frequency and reduces the phase noise of a light source by improving laser materials, keeping the environmental temperature and humidity and atmospheric pressure stable and the like; on the other hand, the adverse effects of the optical wave phase noise on the vibration measurement accuracy and spatial positioning are suppressed by an appropriate data processing method.
However, the existing system has little attention to the phase noise carried by the pulse light. In the process of generating pulse light by using the acousto-optic modulator with modulation, as the pulse excitation source and the modulation clock source are from different clocks and a phase asynchronism phenomenon exists, random noise exists in the initial phase of measurement data, and the vibration measurement precision and the spatial resolution are seriously restricted.
Specifically, the acousto-optic modulator adds a pulse modulation signal to an input optical signal under the combined action of a modulation clock signal and a pulse excitation signal, so that the frequency of the input optical signal is shifted, continuous light is converted into pulsed light, and the pulsed optical signal with modulation (frequency shift) is output. It should be added that the modulation clock signal can also be provided from the interior of the acousto-optic modulator, and only the external pulse excitation signal is needed to realize the modulation function.
fAOMTo modulate the frequency of the clock signal, in general, fAOMIn the order of tens of MHz, are commonly usedThe specifications of (1) comprise 40MHz, 80MHz, 120MHz and the like; corresponding to a pulse excitation signal frequency of

T represents the period of the pulsed excitation signal, fPULSEOn the order of a few kHz to a few tens of kHz, taking as an example a sensing fiber with a length of 10km, fPULSEAnd may be chosen to be 5 kHz. To ensure as much as possible phase synchronization of the pulse excitation signal and the modulated clock signal, fPULSENeeds to be exactly fAOMBy integer multiples of (i.e. frequency division)
Figure BDA0002656121550000021
N is a positive integer.
However, in the existing system, the pulse excitation source and the modulation clock source are from different clocks, and a phase asynchronous phenomenon exists, so that fPULSEIs not exactly equal to
Figure BDA0002656121550000022
The slight frequency difference can cause random noise to exist in the pulse light initial phase of the band modulation pulse light signal output by the acousto-optic modulator in each pulse period, as shown in fig. 4, and the vibration measurement precision and the spatial resolution are severely restricted.
Inside the acousto-optic modulator, a pulse excitation source is used for cutting off the modulation clock source to obtain a pulse modulation signal. Although the pulse modulation signals with different pulse periods have the same frequency, the pulse modulation signals are all fAOMBut due to fPULSEIs not exactly equal to
Figure BDA0002656121550000023
So that the pulse modulation signals have difference in the initial phases of different pulse periods, resulting in slight jitter of the waveform in the time domain along the time axis. Furthermore, the frequency offsets of the modulated pulse light signals in different pulse periods are all fAOMHowever, noise exists in the initial phase, and the vibration measurement precision and the spatial resolution are severely limited.

The noun explains:
optical fiber distributed vibration measurement:
the optical fiber distributed vibration measurement system is an optical instrument which takes optical fibers as sensing media to measure environmental vibration. The optical fiber distributed vibration measurement technology realizes the detection of environmental vibration and the transmission of a measured signal simultaneously by using a single optical fiber, integrates sensing and sensing, and comprehensively realizes the vibration measurement and the space positioning functions by using the backward Rayleigh scattering effect in the optical fiber and the optical time domain reflection measurement technology. The optical fiber distributed vibration measurement technology can continuously measure the vibration distribution condition along the optical fiber, and is particularly suitable for long-distance, large-range, high-precision and multipoint vibration real-time measurement.
The most common implementation means of optical fiber distributed vibration measurement is phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry (-OTDR), which is divided into two basic forms: direct detection and coherent detection.
In the direct detection structure, a narrow linewidth laser is adopted to generate strong coherent continuous light with stable central frequency, the strong coherent continuous light is modulated by an acousto-optic modulator to generate pulse light to enter a sensing optical fiber, returned Rayleigh scattering light is directly received by a photoelectric detector, and then the detection result is subjected to data processing such as accumulation average and the like to realize vibration detection. The direct detection structure does not demodulate and extract the phase of the Rayleigh scattering light, but performs vibration detection by using the variation of Rayleigh scattering light intensity caused by vibration, has large noise, needs to perform accumulated average or moving difference to perform denoising, and has a nonlinear relation between the variation of the intensity of the Rayleigh scattering light and the amplitude of external vibration, so that the distortion phenomenon can occur when the vibration trend is reduced by the variation of the intensity. The coherent detection method detects and reduces the vibration through the phase change of the rayleigh scattering light, and is more and more favored by people due to the advantages of high signal-to-noise ratio, linear relationship between the phase change and the vibration amplitude, and the like.
Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) techniques:
according to the principle of backward scattering of light and Fresnel backward direction, the information of energy (amplitude) attenuation is obtained by utilizing the backward scattering light waves generated when the pulse light waves are transmitted in the optical fiber, the method can be used for measuring the optical fiber attenuation, the joint loss, the positioning of the fault point of the optical fiber, knowing the loss distribution condition of the optical fiber along the length and the like, and is an essential technology in the construction, maintenance and monitoring of the optical cable.
Phase sensitive optical time domain reflectometry (-OTDR) techniques:
the method is developed on the basis of OTDR technology, and comprises injecting light pulse into sensing fiber from one end of the fiber, and detecting backward Rayleigh scattered light generated when pulse light wave propagates in the fiber by using a detector. Since the injected light is strongly coherent (also known as "narrow linewidth", or "low phase noise"), the output of the detector is an interference signal of the coherence of the rayleigh scattered light reflected back within the pulse width region. When vibration events occur on the optical fiber along the line, the refractive index of the optical fiber at the corresponding position is changed, and the intensity and the phase of Rayleigh scattering light at the position are changed due to the elasto-optical effect.
The modulation clock signal of the acousto-optic modulator can be expressed as:
xm(t)=Amcos(2πfAOMt+φ0) (1)
wherein A ismFor modulating the amplitude of the clock signal, fAOMFor modulating the frequency of the clock signal, phi0To modulate the initial phase of the clock signal, t represents time.

Specifically, when the detected environment vibrates, the sensing optical fibers behind the vibration point carry vibration information due to the influence of the vibration event, and the sensing optical fibers in front of the vibration point do not carry vibration information. Therefore, the points A and B with the distance of DAB can be selected, and the adverse effect on the measurement caused by the phase noise of the laser is eliminated primarily through phase difference, wherein the point A carries vibration information after the vibration point, and the point B does not carry vibration information before the vibration point. Further, a point C and a point D which are separated by DCD before the vibration point are selected, and phase difference is performed, so that C, D phase change information between the two points can be obtained. By calculating the proportional relation between the distances DAB and DCD, the influence of residual laser phase noise on the performance of a sensing system can be further eliminated, the measurement phase drift caused by frequency drift can be compensated in real time, and the measurement precision of the external vibration signal can be further improved.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art without inventive work are still within the scope of the present invention.
