Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described, in order to understand better the present invention.What need to point out especially is that in the following description, when perhaps the detailed description that adopts known function and design can desalinate main contents of the present invention, these were described in here and will be left in the basket.
As shown in Figure 1, the distributed fiber Raman temp measuring system of two-way four-way coupling of the present invention comprises: low-light Sm125 fiber Bragg grating (FBG) demodulator 1, single-mode fiber jumper 2, photoswitch 3, Bragg optical-fiber grating sensor 4, ethernet line 5, industrial computer 6; Wherein, four 2 one of single-mode fiber jumpers connect four passages of low-light Sm125 fiber Bragg grating (FBG) demodulator 1, and other end connects four input ends of photoswitch 3; 16 output terminals of photoswitch 3 connect the fiber grating string that is comprised of a plurality of Bragg optical-fiber grating sensors 4; Low-light Sm125 fiber Bragg grating (FBG) demodulator 1 is connected to industrial computer 6 by ethernet line 5.
the laser that low-light Sm125 fiber Bragg grating (FBG) demodulator 1 automatic light source sends reaches the input end of photoswitch 3 through optical patchcord 2, artificial one or more output channel of photoswitch 3 gatings of specifying, laser transfers to Bragg optical-fiber grating sensor 4 through photoswitch 3, the former road of the laser back light switch 3 that these sensors can reflect specific wavelength arrives low-light Sm125 fiber Bragg grating (FBG) demodulator 1 again, accept and be converted into electric signal by detection circuit in low-light Sm125 fiber Bragg grating (FBG) demodulator 1, transfer to industrial computer 6 by ethernet line 5, process and demonstrate temperature and strain information by industrial computer 6 afterwards.
In ordinary optic fibre, allow fiber core refractive index change and just to have formed the simplest uniform fiber grating of structure with the cycle, the bragg grating in the present invention (FBG) namely, scattering will occur at each grating face place for the light of propagating in fiber core in its sensing principle, if can not meet Bragg condition, the light phase of the grating planar reflection that is arranged in order will dissimilate and to the last cancel out each other gradually; If can meet Bragg condition, the light that each grating planar reflects is progressively cumulative, can oppositely form a reflection peak finally, and centre wavelength is determined by optical fiber parameter.Be that FBG essence is a kind of narrow band filter, it is incited somebody to action the very interior light of narrow-band and reflects back (reflectivity can reach more than 90%), and the light of all the other frequency bands is gone out with regard to transmission.
In periodic Fiber Bragg Grating FBG (FBG), the bragg wavelength that is reflected can be showed by refractive index and cycle:
λ
B=n
effΛ (1)
(1) λ in formula
BFor FBG foveal reflex wavelength, n
effFor FBG grid region effective refractive index, Λ is the pitch of FBG.
When a branch of broadband light enters to inject Bragg grating, the narrow band spectrum that only meets above-mentioned grating condition of resonance will be reflected back.When fiber grating is subject to external influence (temperature, stress etc.), effective refractive index n
effAll can be affected and change with grating pitch Λ, thereby make bragg wavelengths
BBe offset., if detect the variation of this side-play amount, affect the external influence of its variation information just can know, the ultimate principle of FBG sensing that Here it is.
When changing, temperature causes centre wavelength when drift specifically:
T=1000Δλ/K

(2) in formula, T is temperature, wavelength shift centered by Δ λ, K
tTemperature coefficient for fiber grating.
When strain variation causes the centre wavelength drift:
E=1000Δλ/K
ε (3)
(3) in formula, ε is strain, wavelength shift centered by Δ λ, K
εThe coefficient of strain for fiber grating.
When in general the variable quantity of FBG centre wavelength was little, 1 ℃ of bragg grating wavelength variable quantity that causes of temperature variation was about 10pm.Simultaneously, and the wavelength variable quantity that strain variation 1 μ ε causes is about 1.2pm.Due to the optical fiber difference of using different technique to write or adopt grating and the difference of annealing process, the different fiber grating just has different temperature control coefficients, especially through the fiber grating after encapsulation, encapsulating material also can be on degree, the temperature sensing characteristic of fiber grating being carried out image greatly, so different FBG must could measure in practice after specific demarcation.
Take the sensor demarcated below as example.The temperature control scope is by 20 ℃ to 60 ℃, and temperature-controlled precision is 0.1 ℃, adopts one every 5 ℃ and takes turns data, temperature of every arrival and constant after, we gather approximately 2 minute datas with the sampling rate of 2Hz at this temperature, about 240 groups of data, and every group of data comprise centre wavelength, power.What we were concerned about is the information of centre wavelength, gets the value of the mean value of these 240 centre wavelengths as this scale of thermometer fixed point.Obtained the nominal data of table 1:
Two kinds of calibration of sensor data of table 1
Respectively sensor 1 and sensor 2 linear fits are obtained Fig. 2 and Fig. 3:
Can find out from fit equation, the temperature-sensitivity coefficient of sensor 1 is 24pm/ ℃, and the temperature-sensitivity coefficient of sensor 2 is 28pm/ ℃.The linearity is all better in this temperature range scope.
