Fig. 2 is a kind of embodiment structural representation of the present invention.
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the present invention is elaborated, but should not limit protection scope of the present invention with this.
Embodiment one: specify present embodiment below in conjunction with Fig. 1,2.Tunable laser 1 is sent and is divided into two-way after the time dependent narrow-linewidth laser of wavelength is gone into coupling mechanism 2, after one road light passes through Polarization Controller 5 and coupling mechanism 4 as reference light, enter photodetector 7, another road enters long chirp grating sensor 6 backs by optical grating reflection as sense light through coupling mechanism 3.Reflected light enters coupling mechanism 4 by coupling mechanism 3, enters photodetector 7 then.The current signal that light signal is exported behind photodetector 7 is gathered by data collecting card 8, analyze by 9 pairs of signals of signal processing then, the long chirp grating reflected light signal of the optical fiber that obtains in the current signal being comprised changes, and is shown by computer 10 then.The length of long chirp grating 6 can be selected according to practical situations, 10 centimetres-1 meter of scope.Diverse location is put corresponding different wave length such as Fig. 2 shows in the length of long chirp grating, chirp grating can be made by phase mask plate or laser pointwise, so the step distance that the reflectance spectrum wavelength width of long chirp grating can be write by the pitch or the pointwise of phase mask plate determines.
Tunable laser 1 is sent two-way light, and one the tunnel is reflected after coupling mechanism 3 advances sensing grating 6, another road behind Polarization Controller 5 to eliminate polarization to effect of signals.Because the light path difference, two-way light interferes at coupling mechanism 6 places.Laser wavelength is tunable, so interference fringe can change.Crackle or strain variation appear in a certain point in long chirp grating, and the frequency shift that the interference fringe that can cause two-way light to produce changes by detecting the frequency variation size, can obtain crackle or strain size.Because the position reflection different wave length that long chirp grating is different, as shown in Figure 2, λ 1, λ 2, λ 3, λ 4 by the detection of reflected wavelength, can accurately locate the positional information of crackle or generation strain.The variation of interference light detects through photodetector 7, becomes electric signal.8 pairs of electric signal of data collecting card are gathered, and carry out frequency-domain analysis by 9 pairs of signals of signal analysis software part then, obtain its frequency change and wavelength information, can obtain corresponding crackle or strain size and occurrence positions information by converting.Show test results on computer 10 by software at last, detect to realize online in real time.More if desired measurement points can be at the different long chirp grating of a plurality of wavelength of sensing grating 6 back series connection with the realization Distributed Detection.
