Description

All-fiber safety defense sensor
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a security device, and more particularly to an all-fiber security sensor. The method detects the invasion of the perimeter region and determines the invasion area by using the effect of the change of the transmission light wave phase and the like when the single mode fiber is disturbed by the outside.
Background
With the development of scientific technology, the importance of security and protection is more prominent, and some important security departments, such as military departments, banks, airports, etc., have higher and higher requirements for large-range, long-distance and high-reliability security and protection technologies. Nowadays, more and more kinds of optical fiber technologies are applied to security technologies, and the optical fiber security technology is characterized in that: the anti-interference performance is strong, and the reliability is high; the concealment is good and the detection is prevented; easy to install and maintain.
The existing perimeter defense system mainly adopts the following three methods to analyze and judge the interference:
one of the prior arts is to determine the occurrence of external interference from the change of the loss of the optical fiber based on the mechanism of microbending loss of the single-mode optical fiber. However, the sensitivity of sensing external disturbance is low, and false alarm is easy to generate.
The second prior art is to measure the disturbance by using an optical time domain reflectometer, and measure the change of the echo generated when the optical wave propagates in the optical fiber along with the external disturbance. The method can determine the position of the optical fiber disturbance according to the delay of the time when the echo is received relative to the transmitting time. However, this method has weak signal, long measurement time, poor real-time performance, is not suitable for dynamic detection, and the price of the time domain reflectometer is also high.
In the third prior art, two M-Z optical fiber interference optical paths are constructed in a perimeter defense system, two paths respectively transmit light waves in opposite directions, and the time difference of transmitting light signals to a detection point in the positive and negative directions after disturbance occurs is measured to determine the position where the disturbance occurs. However, the light source used in this technique is a laser light source, and the stability of the optical fiber optical path system is poor due to its strong time coherence.
Based on the above reasons, we need to invent a new safety precaution device to solve the defects of low measurement accuracy, unstable optical path of the optical fiber, high price and the like in the existing safety precaution technology.

1: 6 → 3a → 3c → 1a → 1d → 5 → 2d → 2a → 4c → 4b → 14 → 3b → 3c → 1a → 1f → 2f → 2b (or 2c)
2: 6 → 3a → 3c → 1a → 1f → 2f → 2a → 4c → 4b → 14 → 3b → 3c → 1a → 1d → 5 → 2d → 2b (or 2c)

Referring to fig. 4, which is a block diagram of an embodiment of an all-fiber security sensor of the present invention, the light source 6 is a super luminescent tube SLD with model SO3-B, and the light source 6 is first divided into two paths by a splitter 19 to provide two optical signals to the system.

The light transmission medium 14 is arranged around the area 22 to be protected, and the light transmission medium 14 can be optical cables or optical fibers, wherein the optical fibers are adopted. When the outside invades into the area 22 to be protected, the disturbance point 13 is caused to the optical fiber, and the disturbance point 13 delays the optical signal passing through the optical fiber, so that the optical signal can be analyzed and calculated later.
The signal input ends of the photoelectric conversion devices 7, 8, 10 and 11 are connected to the ports of the splitters 1 and 2 respectively according to the connection mode in fig. 2, the signal output ends of the photoelectric conversion devices 7, 8, 10 and 11 are connected to the signal processing system 18 respectively, and the signal processing system 18 integrates and analyzes the optical signals input by the photoelectric conversion devices 7, 8, 10 and 11 to determine the nature and the position of disturbance.
The analysis and calculation processes of the system are as follows:
the interference light path formed in the figure and transmitted in the forward and reverse directions is as follows:
the I pair of interference light paths is as follows:
1: 6 → 3a → 3c → 1a → 1d → 5 → 2d → 2a → 4c → 4b → 14 → 3b → 3c → 1a → 1f → 2f → 2b (or 2c)
2: 6 → 3a → 3c → 1a → 1f → 2f → 2a → 4c → 4b → 14 → 3b → 3c → 1a → 1d → 5 → 2d → 2b (or 2c)
The second pair of interference light paths is:
3: 9 → 4a → 4c → 2a → 2d → 5 → 1d → 1a → 3c → 3b → 14 → 4c → 4b → 4c → 2a → 2f → 1f → 1b (or 1c)
4: 9 → 4a → 4c → 2a → 2f → 1f → 1a → 3c → 3b → 14 → 4b → 4c → 2a → 2d → 5 → 1d → 1b (or 1c)
Let the time taken by the fiber from 4c to the disturbance point 13 be τ, let e (t) be eiixp (i ω t)1The time delay of the optical fiber from 13 to 3c is tau2. For simplifying the analysis, only the delay tau brought by the delay coil 5 is considered, the interference phase difference introduced by the splitter is ignored, and meanwhile, the splitter is set to be equal. Assuming that the phase change caused by the disturbance at the disturbance point 13 is phi (t), the output light waves after 1 and 2 optical path delays are respectively expressed as:
Eout1=kEiexp(ω(t-τ-τ12)-φ(t-τ2)) (1)
Eout2=kEiexp(ω(t-τ-τ12)-φ(t-τ2-τ)) (2)
where ω is the angular frequency of the light wave. K is the light amplitude change caused by the splitter and the optical fiber. According to the interference theory of light wave, the initial phase phi of the system is considered0After the two paths of light 1 and 2 interfere with each other and are subjected to photoelectric conversion, the alternating part signal can be expressed as:
VI(t)=Acos(Φ0+φ(t-τ2)-φ(t-τ2-τ)) (3)
after 3 and 4 optical path delays, the output light waves are respectively expressed as:
Eout3=kEiexp(ω(t-τ-τ12)-φ(t-τ2)) (4)
Eout4=kEiexp(ω(t-τ-τ12)-φ(t-τ2-τ)) (5)
after the two paths of light 3 and 4 interfere, and through photoelectric conversion, the alternating part signal can be expressed as:
VII(t)=Acos(Φ0+φ(t-τ1)-φ(t-τ1-τ)) (6)
comparing the equations (3) and (6), it can be seen that there is a delay relationship between the two pairs of interference signals, that is:
VII(t)=VI(t-Δτ) (7)
wherein,
Δτ=τ12=nΔL/c=n(L1-L2)/c=2nl/c (8)
where n is the equivalent refractive index of the optical fiber, c is the speed of light in vacuum, L1 is the length of the optical fiber between the disturbance points 13 and 4c, L2 is the length of the optical fiber between the disturbance points 13 and 3c, and 1 is the distance between the disturbance point 13 and the midpoint of the optical fiber between 3c and 4c, and can be positive or negative, indicating whether the disturbance point 13 is at the left end or the right end of the midpoint, indicating that the disturbance point 13 is at the end of deviation 3c when 1 is positive, and indicating that the disturbance point 13 is at the end of deviation 4c when 1 is negative.
From the above analysis, it can be seen that the delay relationship between the two signals can measure the position where the disturbance occurs, for example, when the measured delay between the two interference signals is-200 ns, the following formula is used:
Δτ=τ12=nΔL/c=n(L1-L2)/c=2nl/c (8)
calculating to obtain:
the distance 1 from the disturbance point 13 to the midpoint of the optical fiber between 3c and 4c is 20m, and is offset to one end of 3 c.
The foregoing shows and describes the general principles and broad features of the present invention and advantages thereof. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, which are described in the specification and illustrated only to illustrate the principle of the present invention, but that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, which fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
