Utilize optical fiber Brillouin scatterometry temperature, stress change principle: in a fiber, the frequency displacement of Brillouin scattering and optical fiber
In effective refractive index relevant with velocity of ultrasonic sound, the change of ambient temperature and stress can make effective refractive index and velocity of ultrasonic sound produce
Changing, thus change Brillouin shift.As long as so the frequency displacement of detection Brillouin scattering just can obtain temperature or stress exists
Distribution on optical fiber.The mathematic(al) representation of Brillouin shift is:
vB=2nva/λ (1)
vBFor the deep pool frequency displacement of cloth profit;N is fiber core refractive index;Va is the velocity of sound;λ is the wavelength of pump light.When pump light
During wavelength X=1.55um, Brillouin shift is about 11GHz.
Brillouin shift and ambient temperature, strain linear:
ΔVB=CvTΔT+CτEΔε (2)
Wherein: △ vBFor Brillouin shift variable quantity;△ ε is the variable quantity of strain;△ T is temperature variation;CvTFor cloth

Brillouin distributed optical fiber sensing mainly has optical time domain reflection (BOTDR) and two kinds of machines of optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA)
Reason, uses optical time-domain analysis mode here.
Flashlight is divided into two-way after light source enters the first bonder (2), and a road is excitation light, through the first photomodulator
(3) sensing the first optical fiber (7) top is entered after carrying out light pulse modulation;Another road is detection light, through the second photomodulator (13)
It is modulated producing the frequency displacement of about about 11GHz, enters sensing the 3rd optical fiber (10) end.
What the first photoelectric detector (15) detected is detection light, its signal is reflected in sensor fibre under certain frequency displacement everywhere
Stimulated Brillouin scattering size.
When encouraging the light frequency difference with detection light with when the Brillouin shift in certain region is equal in optical fiber, will produce in this region
Raw Brillouin amplification effect, two light beams occur energy to shift each other.Owing to Brillouin shift exists linear with temperature, strain
Relation, therefore, while the frequency of laser instrument is continuously adjusted, the continuous light being coupled out from optical fiber one end by detection
Power, so that it may determine that the transfer of energy on each section of region of optical fiber reaches difference on the frequency corresponding during maximum, thus obtain temperature, should

Light;Another road flashlight enters through light the 4th bonder (12) and returns the 3rd optical fiber (10), then enters through the 3rd bonder (8)
Sensor fibre (includes reference arm (the second optical fiber (9)) and signal arm (the first optical fiber (7))), the first photoelectric detector (15) examine
Survey interference signal, for backlight.Positive and negative two-way light, forms loop.
Flashlight transmission in the reference arm (the second optical fiber (9)) and signal arm (the first optical fiber (7)) of optical fiber, signal arm
(the first optical fiber (7)) are used for experiencing extraneous vibration, and reference arm (the second optical fiber (9)) is used for passing another road light of interferometer.When having
When vibration or pressure signal act on fiber-optic signal arm (the first optical fiber (7)), signal arm (the first optical fiber (7)) optical fiber can be caused
Physical dimension and the parameter such as refractive index change, cause the phase of light wave transmitted wherein to produce change.Meanwhile, reference arm
In (the second optical fiber (9)) there is not similar change, therefore signal arm (the first optical fiber (7)) and reference arm in the phase of light wave of transmission
Produce phase contrast in (the second optical fiber (9)) between two-beam of transmission, will interfere when converging, the change of interference light intensity by
Photodetector is converted into signal of telecommunication performance.
Theoretical according to interference of light, two-way light is when arbitrfary point interferes, and this light intensity is:
In formula, respectively interfere the light intensity of two-beam, for the phase contrast of two-beam, the change that extraneous vibration can cause
Change, thus cause the change of detection light luminous power.
Owing to being the input of positive and negative two-beam, according to the time difference received when two-beam light intensity changes, it is possible to determine and send out
The position of raw vibration.
It is located at signal arm (the first optical fiber (7)) Z and vibrates, be then easy to show that
In formula, L is signal arm (the first optical fiber (7)) length, and Ld is for returning fiber lengths, and n is fiber core refractive index, and c is
The light velocity in vacuum, △ T is the detection time difference of two photoelectric detectors.
It is an advantage of the current invention that: in same device system, realize the optical fiber of Brillouin scattering and Mach Zehnder interferometry
Sensing;Can realize realizing in same device vibration and the detection of temperature (or strain);The distribution of many reference amounts distance can be realized
Formula senses.
