Description

A kind of method for making of optical fiber Fabry-Perot cavity and device
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of optical fiber sensing.Relate to the manufacturing technology of optical Fiber Method-Po cavity sensor, specially refer to the method for making and the device of a kind of extrinsic type optical Fiber Method-Po cavity sensor.
Background technology
Fabry-Perot interferometer (Fabry-Perot Interferometer) is called for short the Fabry-perot interferometer instrument, is called Fabry-Perot cavity again, and its basic structure is the optical reflection plane parallel to each other of two precisions.Two planes of reflection of optical Fiber Method-Po cavity sensor refer to the interface of two refractive index sudden changes that form in optical fiber.Two planes of reflection of extrinsic type optical Fiber Method-Po cavity sensor are perpendicular to two optical fiber planar end surfaces of shaft axis of optic fibre, the quartz capillary that two optical fiber planar end surfaces penetrate one section internal diameter and optical fiber external diameter coupling in opposite directions just can guarantee that two optical fiber planar end surfaces are parallel to each other, has just constituted extrinsic type optical fiber Fabry-Perot cavity by the air-gap between optical fiber planar end surface and the planar end surface.This optical Fiber Method-Po cavity sensor simple in structure becomes one of Fibre Optical Sensor of superior performance and tool application prospect in recent ten years gradually.Utilize the long physical quantity sensitivity to external world in chamber of optical Fiber Method-Po cavity sensor, and can access the characteristics of its chamber long value by its reflectance spectrum signal exact solution, optical Fiber Method-Po cavity sensor can be used for measuring multiple physical quantitys such as temperature, pressure, strain, and be widely used in temperature/pressure measurement under the oil well, described in document " Fiber Optic Pressure and TemperatureSensors for Oil Down Hole Application "; The heavy construction monitoring structural health conditions is described in document " New generation of F abry-Perot fiber optic sensors for monitoring of structures "; The health monitoring of large-scale power facility described in document " Fiber Fabry-Perot sensors for detectionof partial discharges in power transformers ", waits the field.
The method for making of extrinsic type optical Fiber Method-Po cavity sensor is meant that mainly two optical fiber that penetrate quartz capillary are with the fixing means between the quartz capillary.That generally adopts at present mainly contains two kinds of methods: a kind of is to be adhesively fixed with epoxide-resin glue, and another kind is to adopt high frequency CO 2The pulse laser fusion is fixed.What use in the document " Extrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometer System Using Wavelength ModulatedSource " is extrinsic type optical Fiber Method-Po cavity sensor that epoxide-resin glue is adhesively fixed, and the performance of this optical Fiber Method-Po cavity sensor depends primarily on the performance of employed epoxide-resin glue.Therefore, there is non-refractory in the optical Fiber Method-Po cavity sensor that is adhesively fixed with epoxide-resin glue, has creep under the high pressure, and problems such as the temperature, pressure cross-sensitivity is poor, physical strength and poor heat stability are not suitable under abominable measurement environment and are using.High frequency CO 2The fixing method of pulse laser fusion is divided into two kinds again--one-sided CO 2Method that the laser radiation thermal welding is fixing and employing 120 degree catoptrons compensation CO 2The method that the LASER HEAT welding is fixing.The one-sided high frequency CO of mentioning in the document " research of fiber F-P interferometer sensor method for packing " of employing 2The fixing method of pulsed laser irradiation thermal welding can not guarantee that quartz capillary and optical fiber seal fully, and has welding solder joint place angle stress, and the solder joint width angle is to skewness, and sensor easily produces little problem such as bend at the solder joint place; The employing 120 degree catoptron compensation high frequency CO of mentioning in document " Self-Calibrated Interferometric/Intensity Based Fiber Optic Pressure Sensors " and the patent " a kind of method for making of long period fiber grating " 2The method that the LASER HEAT welding is fixing, the three-beam illuminating method that belongs to a kind of minute wave front, exist welding point of fixity angle stress distribution, solder joint width angle to skewness, occur bigger problems such as lag error when the optical fiber Fabry-Perot cavity of making is used as the temperature/pressure sensing easily.The invention provides a kind of light path can meticulously be adjusted, the quartz capillary-fiber fuse of three beams equal strength high frequency CO 2 pulse laser line focuss is fixing method and device, improved the sensing capabilities of extrinsic type optical Fiber Method-Po cavity sensor, measuring accuracy, sealing reliability and make efficiency.
