Description

Based on the dynamic distributed Brillouin sensing device and method of the optics frequency agility technology of any ripple of low frequency
Technical field
The present invention relates to the dynamic Brillouin sensing technology of a kind of low cost, high reliability, belong to optical field.
Background technology
Development of OFS is rapid in recent years, Brillouin optical time domain analysis technology (BOTDA) obtains extensive research and apply both domestic and external, Brillouin optical time domain analysis technology can carry out sensing and measurement to temperature and strain, has that spatial resolution is high, distance sensing is far away, realize the advantages such as distributed sensing.It is widely used in building structure monitoring, fire monitoring and oil pipeline monitoring etc.
Brillouin optical time domain analysis technology utilizes stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fiber (SBS) this nonlinear effect to carry out sensing to strain extraneous suffered by optical fiber and temperature.The pump light transmitted in opposite directions carries out energy transferring with detection light by stimulated Brillouin scattering, and the degree that detection light is exaggerated depends on the frequency-splitting between pump light and detection light.General silica fibre Brillouin shift is at about 11GHz, and temperature and strain all can change Brillouin shift, and carrying out frequency sweeping to detection light and just can obtain brillouin gain spectrum, is the size of temperature or strain according to the coefficients conversion of correspondence.Pump light adopt pulsed light so can distributed measurement optical fiber along the line on the information of often.
But traditional Brillouin optical time domain analysis system due to sweep frequency required time longer, cannot the transient change of measuring-signal, static or gradual signal can only be measured.In order to address this problem, realize distributed dynamic sensing technology for the distributed monitoring to transient signal, need to adopt the frequency agility technology based on any wave technology.The core devices of this technology is Arbitrary Waveform Generator (Arbitrary Waveform Generator).Because ordinary optic fibre Brillouin shift is at about 11GHz, so generally need the Arbitrary Waveform Generator of comparable bandwidths.The Arbitrary Waveform Generator cost of high bandwidth is high, and high-frequency apparatus very easily damages and is subject to external interference, significantly limit the actual application value of this method.
