Principle of the present invention is: FPGA produces the electric impulse signal of multiple pulsewidth, and (pulsewidth has 20ns, 40ns, 100ns, 1us, 10us, 100us) trigger impulse drive circuit for laser, Fabry-Perot pulse laser is made to send the pulsed light of specific width, then testing fiber is injected into by circulator, light signal is converted to the signal of telecommunication by the optical signals APD avalanche photodide of returning through back scattering, complete the reception of light signal dorsad, photoelectric current carries out current-voltage conversion through high bandwidth photoelectric switching circuit, then through the sudden change of differential circuit amplifying signal, convert the analog signal of input to digital signal by high-speed comparator to detect for FPGA, FPGA calculates from sending pulse to the interval time receiving echo impulse, correspond to the position of fault point interval time.
Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, the present invention is described in further detail:
Be the STM32F103VCT6 of Low Power High Performance see the ARM controller model in Fig. 1, figure, the present invention includes: ARM controller, FPGA, Fabry-Perot pulse laser, APD avalanche photodide, Signal-regulated kinase, liquid crystal touch display screen, optical circulator and power module, (pulsewidth has 20ns to the electric impulse signal of FPGA generation distinct pulse widths, 40ns, 100ns, 1us, 10us, 100us) trigger 1550nm pulse laser drive circuit, Fabry-Perot pulse laser is made to send the pulsed light of specific width, then testing fiber is injected into by optical circulator, light signal is converted to the signal of telecommunication by the optical signals APD avalanche photodide of returning through back scattering, complete the reception of light signal dorsad, photoelectric current carries out current-voltage conversion through high bandwidth photoelectric switching circuit, then through the sudden change of differential circuit amplifying signal, convert the analog signal of input to digital signal by high-speed comparator to detect for FPGA, FPGA calculates from sending pulse to the interval time receiving echo impulse, correspond to the position of fault point interval time.Software section obtains the active position information of fault point after carrying out denoising, test result is sent to ARM controller by serial ports by FPGA, and ARM controller will be sought barrier result by liquid crystal touch display screen and be shown.
See Fig. 2, for making optical fiber barrier finder, there is great dynamic range, Fabry-Perot pulse laser should export high-peak power, and the present invention adopts Special pulse laser driving chip modulation method Fabry-Perot-type pulse laser, makes its light pulse peak power higher than 70mW.The signal to be detected of returning from remote fiber reflection is very faint, the pulsewidth of this signal is minimum is only 20ns, Signal-regulated kinase has large signal to noise ratio and high workload bandwidth, the effect of differential circuit is the sudden change of amplifying backscattering light signal, what optical fiber barrier finder needed to detect is exactly the sudden change of backscattering light intensity, decay events correspond to weakening suddenly of backscattering light intensity, and reflection event then correspond to the unexpected enhancing of backscattering light intensity.FPGA adopts the EP4CE15F17C8N of Cyclone IV series, and core operating frequency is 200MHz, and the sampling interval is only 5ns, ensures to there will not be " leak and gather ", and positioning precision is very high.Power module adopts lithium battery charging management circuit to improve the cruising time of instrument, and energy-conserving and environment-protective more.
