Description

Optical fiber detection device and method for interference type optical fiber hydrophone sensing arm
Technical Field
The invention relates to a sensing arm optical fiber detection device and method, in particular to an interference type optical fiber hydrophone sensing arm optical fiber detection device and method, and belongs to the technical field of optics.
Background
The optical fiber hydrophone converts underwater or underground sound signals into optical signals through the high-sensitivity optical coherence characteristic, and then the photoelectric conversion equipment extracts the sound signals. The optical fiber in the sensor is both a light transmission medium and a sensing medium, and has the characteristics of high sensitivity, good frequency response characteristic, large dynamic range, electromagnetic interference resistance, long-distance transmission, large-range monitoring and the like. Fiber optic hydrophones have been widely used in: marine resource exploration, submarine geological exploration, homeland security and the like.
The basic principle of the optical fiber hydrophone with the Michelson interference structure is shown in FIG. 3: laser is divided into two paths through a port 1 of the optical fiber coupler and is respectively output from a port 3 and a port 4, the port 3 forms a sensing arm to receive acoustic signals, the port 4 serves as a reference arm, light in the sensing arm is reflected by a reflector 1 after being modulated by the acoustic signals and then is output through a port 2, two arm reflection signals output through the port 2 are coherent, interference signals are converted into electric signals after photoelectric conversion, sound wave information is obtained after the electric signals are processed, and underwater or underground objects are identified and positioned according to the sound wave information. However, in actual operation, the optical fiber performance of the sensing arm changes due to the influence of factors such as water area, water depth and water pressure, which leads to increased noise and unstable performance of the optical fiber hydrophone. Therefore, on-line monitoring of the optical fiber of the hydrophone sensing arm is needed, and the influence of factors such as the optical fiber winding process, the packaging process, the material selection and the like of different optical fiber hydrophones on the performance of the hydrophone is analyzed through characteristics such as stress, temperature and the like of the distributed measurement sensing arm optical fiber.
The circumference of a fiber ring wound in the fiber hydrophone is about 10cm, and the stress distribution of the fiber wound for one circle can be accurately reflected only by a high-spatial resolution, high-precision and distributed fiber sensing technology. At present, one scheme adopts a brillouin optical frequency domain analysis technique (Romeo Bernini, Aldo minirdo, Luigi Zeni, "Distributed sensing apparatus-scale optical resolution by BOFDA: measurements and signaling processing, [ J ]. Photonics Journal, 2011, 4: 48-56), however, the pump light and the probe light used in the technique are both continuous lights, and since the fiber hydrophone sensing arm and the reference arm mirror continuously reflect the two lights, the reflected lights are coherent after being output from the 2-port, and the strong and weak fluctuation of the coherent signal strongly interferes with the brillouin signal, so that the strain and temperature of the sensing arm fiber cannot be measured by the system. Although the single-ended brillouin coherent domain technology that continuous light and pulsed light are simultaneously incident from one end of an optical fiber proposed in chinese patent 201610249590.0 avoids double-ended incidence, the use of continuous light still causes coherence after the continuous reflection of two reflectors of an interferometer structure is emitted from the port of the coupler 2, so that the temperature strain distribution of the optical fiber hydrophone sensing arm of the michelson interference structure cannot be measured.
