The accompanying drawing explanation
Fig. 1 is a kind of concrete structure schematic diagram of the present invention.
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention is elaborated, but should not limit the scope of the invention with this.
Embodiment one: below in conjunction with Fig. 1, illustrate present embodiment.Distributed Feedback Laser 1 sends narrow-linewidth laser and amplifies and enter coupler 3 and be divided into two-way through amplifier 2, one road light enters brillouin scattering signal detection module 13 as local oscillator light after by coupler 12, another road as sense light through electrooptic modulator 4 be modulated to pulsed light by amplifier 5, enter scrambler 6 carry out depolarized after, enter sensor fibre 8 by optical fiber circulator 7.Meanwhile, fiber amplifier 5 can send the ASE broadband light, and this part light can be used as the sensing light source of optical fiber optical grating array 9, with laser pulse, enters sensor fibre 8 by circulator 7 simultaneously.The reflected signal light of optical fiber is divided into two parts, and a part is the backward Brillouin scattering of sensor fibre, the reverberation that another part is optical fiber optical grating array.This two parts light, by design in advance, takies respectively different wavelength channels, thereby can mutually not crosstalk.After this two parts reverberation enters filter via circulator 7, filtered device separately and from different ports is exported.Wherein Brillouin scattering is after fiber amplifier 11 amplifies, by coupler 12 with enter brillouin scattering signal detection module 13 with local oscillator light simultaneously, carry out input.The reverberation of fiber grating directly enters FBG Wavelength demodulation module 14.
For the Fibre Optical Sensor of Brillouin scattering part, whole optical fiber is all strain transducer but its spatial resolution only has 1 meter, because its measuring distance can reach dozens or even hundreds of kilometer, therefore can be used for the structure collectivity monitoring.For optical fiber optical grating array, the strain of the position at grating place only can be detected, and the length of a grating only there is 1 centimetre of left and right, volume is very little, therefore can carry out the strain measurement of some local significant points.When the strain that acts on sensor fibre 8 and optical fiber optical grating array 9 changes, the catoptrical wavelength of the frequency of Brillouin scattering and fiber grating also can change thereupon, survey respectively frequency displacement and the optical grating reflection wavelength change of Brillouin scattering by brillouin scattering signal detection module 13 and FBG Wavelength demodulation module 14, can obtain the local train of structural entity stress distribution situation and keypoint part simultaneously.
