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 more particularly to a kind of differences based on stimulated Brillouin effect Fraction temperature sensor.
Background technique
Distributed fiber optic temperature, stress sensing system based on stimulated Brillouin effect are using light wave as transducing signal, with light Fibre is transmission medium, perception and the extraneous dut temperature of detection or stress signal, it not only has the advantages that general fibre optical sensor, And the continuously distributed information of temperature or stress at any time with space can be obtained simultaneously.Since optical fiber itself is not charged, volume Small, light weight, flexible, electromagnetism interference, radiation resistance are good, can especially be suitble to dry in inflammable, explosive and strong electromagnetic It disturbs etc. and to be used under adverse circumstances, so that it is in the following smart grid, Oilfield Pipelines security monitoring, the weight such as communication line attack early warning Field is wanted to have a wide range of applications demand.
Currently, the sensor-based system based on stimulated Brillouin effect specifically include that Brillouin light domain reflectometer (BOTDR), Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA), Brillouin light frequency-domain analysis (BOFDA).Wherein, BOTDA is high with its measurement accuracy, and compared with Short response time and receive extensive attention and study.Its basic principle can be summarized as: have the pumping pulse light of fixed frequency difference Cause optical fibre refractivity at any time by electrostriction effect in the place that optical fiber meets with the continuous probe light of reverse transfer and Space periodicity rises and falls, and is excited acoustic wavefield to generate, and under the action of the acoustic wavefield, energy occurs between pump light and detection light The transfer of amount forms stimulated Brillouin scattering.Lorentz lorentz type of the continuous light under different frequency difference is obtained by constantly frequency sweep Gain spectral, the gain spectral obtain maximum at Brillouin shift, and experiment discovery Brillouin shift and temperature or stress have pole Strong linear dependence.Therefore, as long as detecting that the variation of Brillouin shift in optical fiber can be obtained by temperature or stress in light Distribution on fibre.When realizing that the system needs the key technical indexes solved to include: spatial resolution, temperature resolution, measurement Between, measurement distance.
In order to effectively promote above-mentioned four indices, the various improvement projects in recent years based on traditional BOTDA system are answered It transports and gives birth to.Specifically include that it is lower to be previously implanted power before pumping pulse enters sensor fibre for pre- pumping method, this method One section of long pulse, such that prepulsing just generates the phonon of stable state with detection light action before pumping pulse arrival. This method effectively breaches limitation of the phonon relaxation time to spatial resolution, improves spatial resolution;Dark pulse method, with Bright pulse is on the contrary, pumping when no pulse has stronger power, and pumping has extremely low function when having pulse Rate.In this way before dark pulse arrival, phonon can be full of whole section of sensor fibre, and the brillouin gain that detection light obtains whole section of optical fiber is total With, once dark pulse arrive, detection light will lack the corresponding brillouin gain in dark pulse part, to realize higher space Resolution ratio;π impulse method, this method is similar with dark pulse method, is only identical with other parts power by dark pulse partial replacement π phase impulse.Equally, when π pulse arrives, detection light missing is not only that the corresponding Brillouin in dark pulse part increases Benefit, and there are also bring gain on light is detected since π pulse-echo is added to, signal-to-noise ratio has the promotion for showing play, about 2 times of dark pulse;Differential pulse is to method, i.e., with the BOTDA scheme measurement 2 for having two pairs of pulse pairs of small difference in pulse width traditional Secondary, the difference of 2 measuring signals is brillouin gain corresponding to the tiny differential pulse.The program is theoretically available Ultimate attainment spatial resolution, and avoid the brillouin gain spectrum widening problem as caused by short pulse and phonon relaxation Limitation.
In realizing process of the present invention, at least there are the following problems in the prior art for inventor's discovery:
Traditional BOTDA system, due to being limited by phonon relaxation, when pulse width can not be less than phonon relaxation Between, it otherwise will lead to phonon and stable state be not achieved, signal-to-noise ratio is caused to decline, brillouin gain spectrum widening, frequency resolution reduces, this Sample significantly limits further increasing for spatial resolution.Pre- pumping method is by one section of pulse of pre- pumping in advance to a certain degree On solve the limitation of phonon relaxation, but distance sensing is limited, and the sensing of long range will lead to Brillouin's increasing of pulse pedestal Benefit is greater than pulse bring gain itself.Dark pulse method due to the pumping pulse of dark pulse part and detection light between almost without Inspire phonon, cause within a period of time after dark pulse, due to phonon deficiency and produce the damage of brillouin gain It loses, i.e., " secondary echo ", and then the error for calculating Brillouin shift can be made to increase.And impulse method is although its signal-to-noise ratio It doubles than dark pulse, but still will receive defect same with dark pulse, influence the practicability of system.As for differential pulse pair Method can obtain high spatial resolution and frequency resolution and long-distance sensing really, but due to needing to measure 2 times, consume Duration, response time are 2 times of traditional BOTDA.
