Description

A kind of distribution type fiber-optic temperature and strain gauge sensors and measuring method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of fiber optic sensor technology, especially relate to a kind of distribution type fiber-optic temperature and strain transducer and measuring method thereof.
Background technology
Present distributed fiberoptic sensor mainly contains two classes: a class is the Raman fiber sensor, and another kind of is the Brillouin light fiber sensor.The Raman fiber sensor is used and is subjected to certain restriction owing to only possess the temperature survey function; And the Brillouin light fiber sensor has been obtained development fast because can temperature and strain parameter be measured simultaneously and obtain extensive studies.The Brillouin light fiber sensor is realized the measurement of distributed sensor to temperature and strain by each position of detection fiber frequency shift amount spontaneous dorsad or the relative incident light of stimulated Brillouin scattering light, and its advantage is that distance sensing is long, the spatial resolution height.But because the Brillouin shift amount is responsive simultaneously to temperature and strain two physical quantitys, and with the two linear dependence, therefore there is temperature strain cross sensitivity problem in actual applications, promptly be difficult to from the Brillouin shift amount that finally obtains, to isolate the variable quantity that temperature and strain cause separately, seriously hindered the engineering of this type of sensor and promoted.Solving the common technology that adopts of temperature strain cross sensitivity problem at present has following several:
1, two parametric methods of scattered light intensity and frequency displacement (J.Smith et al., " Simultaneous distributed strain andtemperature measurement; " Appl.Opt, 38:5372-5377,1999), these class methods are by measuring backscattering light intensity and frequency shift amount simultaneously, simultaneous equations solve temperature and strain variation amount, but the measurement of Brillouin light intensity has limited the detection range of sensor, and light intensity is vulnerable to external disturbance, the influence of problems such as light source output power shake and polarization state drift.
2, Landau-Placzek ratio method (P.C.Wait and T.P.Newson, " Landau-Placzek ratioapplied todistributed fibre sensing; " Optics Communications, 122 (4-6): 141-146,1996), these class methods are measured the Brillouin scattering light intensity and simultaneously to the insensitive Rayleigh scattering light intensity of strain, extract temperature variation by calculating the two ratio (Landau-Placzek ratio), but the measurement of Rayleigh scattering light has limited the detection length and the spatial resolution of sensor, and the simultaneity factor complexity significantly improves.
3, special fiber method (X.Bao, Q.Yu and L.Chen, " Simultaneous strain and temperaturemeasurements with polarization-maintaining fibers and their error analysis by use ofadistributed Brillouin loss system " Optics letters 29 (12): 1342-1344,2004), these class methods adopt polarization maintaining optical fibre, photonic crystal fiber, special fibers such as large effective area fiber are distinguished temperature strain two physical quantitys, but because special fiber mostly costs an arm and a leg, it is too high therefore to be used for long distance applications cost.
For from solving temperature and strain cross sensitivity problem in essence, other physical influence method of associating has been proposed, both at home and abroad as the effect of associating Raman scattering and Brillouin scattering.External paper Proc.SPIE, 2004 " Simultaneousdistributed measurements of temperature and strain using spontaneous raman andBrillouin
In May, 2009, the Chinese invention patent instructions of CN200710156868.0 of Granted publication on the 27th disclosed a kind of " very-long-range distributed fiber Raman and Brillouin's photon sensor ", proposed the distributed type optical fiber Raman photon temperature sensor, the mode that distribution type fiber-optic Brillouin photon strain transducer and distributed fiber Raman fiber amplifier merge, realization temperature and strain are measured simultaneously, but the light source of the light source of its Brillouin sensing device and Raman sensor has adopted the mode of common optical fiber coupling mechanism, increased the loss of luminous power, and the light source of its Brillouin sensing device has adopted exocoel narrow-band impulse fiber laser, and pulsed light has difficulties when Coherent Detection.
In May, 2009, the Chinese invention patent instructions of CN200710175868.5 of Granted publication on the 20th disclosed a kind of " optical fiber distributed temperature and stress sensing device ", proposed fiber raman scattering as temperature information, Brillouin scattering as strain information distributed sensing temperature and strain simultaneously, provided the calibration formula of temperature and strain, but its measuring optical fiber is a polarization maintaining optical fibre, has limited the range of application of sensor.
In sum, can effectively solve temperature and strain cross sensitivity problem in conjunction with Raman scattering and Brillouin scattering effect, but existing combination mainly is a common light source, adopt special fiber or use fiber coupler, like this or the temperature that records and strain parameter precision not enough, perhaps cost height, range of application is narrow, and existing associated methods all is the Brillouin light time domain reflection sense device (BOTDR) at single-ended measurement, the Brillouin optical time domain analysis sensor (BOTDA) that can not be used for the double-end measurement mode, because what Brillouin light time domain reflection sense device (BOTDR) was measured is very faint spontaneous brillouin scattering light, and Brillouin optical time domain analysis sensor (BOTDA) measurement is stronger stimulated Brillouin scattering light, so far above BOTDR, and measurement range is bigger to the measuring accuracy of temperature and strain for BOTDA.
