Abstract

The present invention provides a stimulated Brillouin effect-based differential temperature sensor. The continuous light generated by a light generating unit is subjected to a first modulation amplifier unit to obtain a signal containing the Stokes light and the anti-Stokes light. After that, the signal is subjected to a second modulation amplifier unit to generate a phase modulated signal. The modulated signal is subjected to a filter, so that the Stokes light and the anti-Stokes light are filtered out. The Stokes light passes through a delay optical fiber to be integrated with the anti-Stokes light as one path of optical signals through a 3 dB coupler. The path of optical signals is subjected to a polarizer, so that the polarized light can be extracted. The extracted polarized light is subjected to a third modulation amplifier unit to obtain the pumped pulse light. The pumped pulse light is injected into the initial end of a sensing optical fiber. The detection light of the other path is infiltrated through the tail end of the sensing optical fiber via a scrambler instrument and an isolator. Inside the optical fiber, the detection light forms a circulator together with the pumped pulse light under the stimulated Brillouin effect, and then is converted into an electric signal through a photoelectric detector. According to the technical scheme of the invention, the temperature resolution and the sensing distance are higher on the premise that the high spatial resolution is realized.

Description

A kind of differential type temperature sensor based on stimulated Brillouin effect
Technical field
The present invention relates to temperature or strain gauge technical field, particularly relate to a kind of differential type temperature sensor based on stimulated Brillouin effect.
Background technology
Based on the distributed fiber optic temperature of stimulated Brillouin effect, stress sensing system with light wave for transducing signal, with optical fiber for transmission medium, perception and the extraneous dut temperature of detection or stress signal, it not only has an advantage of general Fibre Optical Sensor, and can obtain simultaneously temperature or stress in time with the continuous distribution information in space.Owing to optical fiber itself is not charged, volume is little, light weight, flexible, electromagnetism interference, radiation resistance are good, particularly can be adapted under the adverse circumstances such as inflammable, explosive and strong electromagnetic and use, make it at following intelligent grid, Oilfield Pipelines security monitoring, the key areas such as communication line attack early warning has a wide range of applications demand.
At present, Brillouin light domain reflectometer (BOTDR), Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA), Brillouin light frequency-domain analysis (BOFDA) are specifically included that based on the sensor-based system of stimulated Brillouin effect.Wherein, BOTDA is high with its certainty of measurement, and relatively short response time and paid close attention to widely and studied.Its ultimate principle can be summarized as: has the pumping pulse light of fixed frequency difference and the continuous probe light of reverse transfer to cause optical fibre refractivity to rise and fall with space periodicity in time in the place that optical fiber meets by electrostriction effect, thus producing to be excited acoustic wavefield, under the effect of this acoustic wavefield, there is the transfer of energy between pump light and detection light, form stimulated Brillouin scattering.Obtaining continuous light Lorentz lorentz's type gain spectral under different frequency difference by constantly frequency sweep, this gain spectral obtains maximum at Brillouin shift place, and experiment finds that Brillouin shift has extremely strong linear dependence with temperature or stress.Therefore, as long as detecting that in optical fiber, the change of Brillouin shift can be obtained by the distribution on optical fiber of temperature or stress.Realizing this system needs the key technical indexes solved to include: spatial resolution, temperature resolution, measurement time, measurement distance.
In order to effectively promote above-mentioned four indices, the various improvement projects based on traditional BOTDA system are arisen at the historic moment in recent years.Specifically including that pre-pumping method, the method enters before sensor fibre in pumping pulse, is previously implanted segment length's pulse that power is relatively low, such that before pumping pulse arrives, prepulsing just produces the phonon of stable state with detection light action.The method breaches the restriction to spatial resolution of the phonon relaxation time effectively, improves spatial resolution;Dark pulse method, contrary with bright pulse, when not having pulse, pumping has stronger power, and pumping has extremely low power when there being pulse.So before dark pulse arrives, phonon can be full of whole section of sensor fibre, and detection light obtains the brillouin gain summation of whole section of optical fiber, once dark pulse arrives, detection light will lack the brillouin gain that dark pulse part is corresponding, thus realizing higher spatial resolution;π impulse method, the method is similar with dark pulse method, simply by π phase impulse that dark pulse partial replacement is identical with other Partial Powers.Equally, when π pulse arrives, detection light disappearance is not only brillouin gain corresponding to dark pulse part, and also has and detect, owing to π pulse-echo is added to, the gain brought on light, and its signal to noise ratio has aobvious acute lifting, is about 2 times of dark pulse;Traditional BOTDA scheme, to method, is namely measured 2 times by differential pulse with the two pairs of pulses having small difference in pulse width, and the difference that 2 times are measured signal is this brillouin gain corresponding to tiny differential pulse.The program can obtain ultimate attainment spatial resolution in theory, and avoids the restriction of the brillouin gain spectrum widening problem owing to short pulse punching causes and phonon relaxation.
In realizing process of the present invention, inventor have found that in prior art, at least there are the following problems:
Traditional BOTDA system, owing to being subject to the restriction of phonon relaxation, pulse width can not less than the phonon relaxation time, otherwise can cause that phonon does not reach stable state, signal to noise ratio is caused to decline, brillouin gain spectrum widening, frequency resolution reduces, and so significantly limit the further raising of spatial resolution.Pre-pumping method to some extent solves the restriction of phonon relaxation by pre-one section of pulse of pumping in advance, but distance sensing is limited, and the sensing of distance can cause the gain that the brillouin gain of pulse base brings more than pulse itself.Dark pulse method due to dark pulse part pumping pulse and detection light between almost without inspiring phonon, cause in a period of time after dark pulse, the loss of brillouin gain is created due to the deficiency of phonon, i.e. " secondaryecho ", so can make calculate Brillouin shift error increase.Although and its signal to noise ratio of impulse method doubles than dark pulse, but still the defect same with dark pulse can be subject to, the practicality of influential system.As for differential pulse to method, really can obtain high spatial resolution and frequency resolution and long-distance sensing, but owing to needs are measured 2 times, length consuming time, its response time is 2 times of traditional B OTDA.
