Abstract

The invention provides a sensor structure for simultaneously measuring the temperature and strain of long period fiber gratings (LPFGs). The sensor structure is characterized in that a pair of LPFGs which are written by high-frequency CO2 laser pulse in a fiber and have different periods are selected, namely an LPFG only sensitive to temperature variation and an LPFG sensitive to both temperature variation and strain variation; and the respective variation of the temperature and the strain can be accurately measured by cascading the two LPFGs. The sensor structure has the following prominent advantages: the temperature variation is measured by using the LPFG which has a specific period and is only sensitive to temperature variation, and the variation of the temperature and the strain is measured by using the other LPFG, thus realizing measurement of the two parameters (the temperature and the strain), and providing a scheme for solving the problem of cross sensitivity of the temperature and the strain; and meanwhile, the sensor has the capability of normally working at the high temperature of 750 DEG C and is unnecessary to be specially packaged.

Description

Measure the sensor construction of long period fiber grating temperature and strain simultaneously
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of optical fiber sensing, be specifically related to utilize the long period fiber grating of a pair of different cycles to make the sensor construction that sensor is measured temperature and two parameters of strain simultaneously.
Background technology
Long period fiber grating (LPFG) be a kind of can be with the band resistance type optical fiber filter that couples light to covering of specific wavelength, its resonance wavelength can be along with the variation of parameters such as the temperature of external environment, strain, refractive index and is changed, according to this principle, the variation of resonance wavelength that can be by measuring LPFG realizes the measurement of environmental physics quantitative changeization to external world.Because LPFG compares and Fiber Bragg Grating FBG (FBG), and is more responsive to the variation of many external physical quantity, and the higher temperature of LPFG ability, so its great prospect aspect Fibre Optical Sensor.
In temperature and strain while fields of measurement, people such as H.J.Patrick issue paper (IEEE Photon.Tech.Lett., 1996, Vol.8, No.9 pp.1223-1225) has proposed strain and temperature simultaneously measuring scheme, but this scheme needs the combination of Fiber Bragg Grating FBG and long period fiber grating, so that the sensor cost is higher, and volume is bigger, is unfavorable for integrated.The river is built, publish thesis (optics journal, 2003,32 (9): measure when 1063~1066) proposing to have LPFG/EFPI integrating optical fiber sensor to realize temperature and strain such as Rao Yunjiang.Optical grating strain, temperature simultaneously measuring sensor that Li Aiqun etc. (ZL 200910026403) propose are that two fiber gratings are encapsulated in the special construction, cause the sensor cost higher, processing inconvenience.
In the fiber-optic grating sensor, the existence of temperature and strain cross sensitivity has had a strong impact on the precision of measurement, therefore studies only a certain physical quantity to be changed sensitivity and other physical quantitys are changed insensitive optical fiber optical grating sensors to have great significance.Utilize the accurate measurement that just can realize multiparameter that combines of this fiber-optic grating sensor and ordinary optic fibre grating sensor.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a pair of long-period fiber grating sensor, utilize one of them LPFG (long period fiber grating) insensitive and to responsive to temperature to strain, another LPFG measures when realizing temperature and strain temperature and all responsive characteristics of strain.And because this sensor is to be formed by two LPFG cascades, LPFG itself has resistant to elevated temperatures characteristic, has the ability of operate as normal under 750 ℃ of high temperature.
For achieving the above object, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
Measure the sensor construction of long period fiber grating temperature and strain simultaneously, select high frequency CO for use 2The a pair of long period fiber grating of the different cycles that laser pulse writes in optical fiber, be respectively one long period fiber grating to the temperature variation sensitivity, with a long period fiber grating to temperature and the equal sensitivity of strain variation, two long period fiber grating are carried out cascade use, can accurately measure temperature and strain variation separately.
Selected optical fiber is the bend resistant single moded fibers of band nano-rings structure.
The long period fiber grating that writes has following feature: the resonance wavelength of the long period fiber grating in the specific period scope is to responsive to temperature and insensitive to strain; The resonance wavelength of the long period fiber grating in the general periodic regime is responsive simultaneously to temperature and strain.
This sensor have still can operate as normal during up to 750 ℃ in environment temperature ability.
This sensor has the processing characteristic of simple, need not additional encapsulation processs such as isolated temperature, isolation stress except that general protection packaging.
The present invention adopts the long period fiber grating of the different cycles of two cascades to come the variation of perception ambient temperature and strain, and wherein LPFG1 is only to responsive to temperature, i.e. the variation of its resonance wavelength (Δ λ Res) only relevant with temperature variation (Δ T), can be represented by the formula:
Δλ res-LPFG1=A*ΔT (1)
LPFG2 is then all responsive to temperature and strain variation (Δ μ ε microstrain), and the variation of resonance wavelength can be expressed as:
Δλ res-LPFG2=B*ΔT+C*Δμε (2)
In equation (1) and (2), coefficient A, B, C are the coefficient of Resonant Wavelengths of Long Period Fiber Gratings with temperature and strain variation, and simultaneous equations (1) and (2) just can solve the variable quantity of temperature and strain.
Long period fiber grating described in the present invention is to utilize high frequency CO 2Laser instrument is the bend resistant single moded fibers in a kind of novel band nano-rings structure of release in 2009 in Corning Incorporated

On write, these two long period fiber grating have the different cycles, and their cycle be positioned at same interval, to be in same its resonance wavelength of length of an interval period optical fiber grating identical with the character of temperature and strain variation.
Outstanding advantage of the present invention is: with a long period fiber grating feature measurement temperature variation to the temperature variation sensitivity of a specific period, measure the variation of temperature and strain with another long period fiber grating, thereby realize the measurement of temperature and strain biparametric, provided a kind of scheme that solves the temperature strain cross sensitivity.This type sensor has the ability of operate as normal under 750 ℃ of high temperature simultaneously, and does not need special package.
