Description

Optical fiber grating temperature/strain sensing system and its demodulation method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of technology of sensory field of optic fibre, be specifically a kind of fiber optic high-resolution grating temperature/ Strain sensing system and its demodulation method.
Background technology
Strain sensing technology is widely used in engineering field, such as the monitoring of underwater sound field, monitoring structural health conditions, oil Monitoring pipeline safety, seismic wave monitoring etc..Traditional strain transducer is usually mechanical or electromagnetic type, exists and much asks Topic, such as:In strong electric field environment, traditional strain transducer by electromagnetic interference, can not easily work normally;In inflammable and explosive environment In, electric spark can be generated, triggers accident;Under water or in underground environment, electrical part can corrode;Requiring array Application scenario, traditional strain transducer are difficult to be linked to be large scale array.These defects seriously limit traditional strain transducer Practical application.
Since the 1970s, optical fiber was by invention, optical fiber sensing technology also flourishes therewith.In recent years due to The development of photoetching technique, scribes the maturation of grating technology on optical fiber, and fiber grating sensing technology is always sensory field of optic fibre Hot spot.Fiber-optic grating sensor is with its small size, low cost, multiplexing capacity are strong, electromagnetism interference, it is corrosion-resistant the advantages that, be Solve the problems, such as that ultra-fine linear array and extensive sensor array application project provide new solution method.Fiber grating is mixed according to whetheing there is Miscellaneous gain media can be divided into passive optical fiber grating and Active Optical Fiber grating.
Passive optical fiber grating sensor is more early studied, and when by extraneous effects of strain, fiber grating length becomes Change, reflectance spectrum is caused to drift about.The drift value of reflectance spectrum is directly proportional to strain size.The first demodulation scheme and most often Interferometer demodulation method, using wide spectrum light source incident optical Bragg grating (FBG), the light that frequency meets Bragg conditions will It is reflected by FBG, it is ungratified, it transmits.The MZ interferometers demodulation narrowband reflection optical wavelength variation of arm length difference very little is recycled, from And obtain extraneous strain information.Although such scheme has the characteristics of at low cost, to be easy to multiplexing, due to FBG reflection bandwidths It is very wide, thus be difficult to improve on sensitivity behaviour.Second, be the PDH demodulation techniques occurred in recent years, using single-frequency laser Device is locked in the resonance peak at the reflection peak edge of FBG, PSFBG (π phase shift FBG) or FFPI (optical fiber FP chambers), strain resolution Hundreds of f ε even can be reached, the part however, PDH demodulation schemes come with some shortcomings:A, the strain precision of this scheme is direct It is influenced be subject to the frequency stability of single-frequency laser, this proposes very high requirement for the frequency stabilization performance of laser;B, in length Distance, extensive multiplexed sensing application scenario, the power attenuation of flashlight cause system strain precision to reduce.
Active Optical Fiber grating sensor is also referred to as fiber laser sensor, is broadly divided into distributed Blatt reflective formula optical fiber and swashs Light (DBR-FL) sensor and distributed feedback optical-fiber laser (DFB-FL) sensor.The output wavelength of DBR-FL and DFB-FL Be consistent with the resonant frequency of its resonator, thus optical fiber laser extraneous strain signal effect under, the output of laser Laser center wavelength also drifts about therewith.Since laserresonator is very sensitive for outer signals, and DBR-FL with The line width of the output light of DFB-FL is very narrow, can reach several kHz, far smaller than the bandwidth of FBG.Recycle interferometer demodulation skill Art, can realize very high-precision strain sensing, and the strain precision of this scheme is always maintained at so far up to 7f ε@7kHz The world record in high-precision optical fiber strain sensing field.
Although fiber laser sensor has many advantageous characteristic and attractive prospect, this technology is also far from Maturation, there are many more in theoretical and engineering the problem of, need to solve.Some main problems present in fiber laser sensor are such as Under:A, lasing mode control problem, in the detection of small-signal, it is desirable that resonator is grown to lower most I survey letter as far as possible Number intensity, while resonator also requires certain length to ensure output power.However the elongated multimode that will generate of resonator swashs Hair;B, fiber laser sensor is demodulated dependent on interferometer, and interferometer can be subject to extraneous low-frequency noise (such as temperature, vibration) shadow It rings, thus reduces the strain precision of low-frequency range;C, the noise problem of optical fiber laser, the laser of any free-running can not Avoid there are certain intensity and phase noise, so as to influence the precision of fiber laser sensor.

Technique effect
It is of the invention compared with existing PDH demodulation techniques, have following several advantages:
A, low power requirements;It is very low to the power requirement of narrow-linewidth single frequency laser, even as low as pW grades;Compared with passive The PDH demodulation techniques of fiber grating sensing system reduce 40dB to the power requirement for detecting light.Efficiently solve over long distances with The problem of strain precision deteriorates caused by optical power attenuation in extensive multiplexed sensing application.
B, strain sensitivity is adjustable;Frequency discrimination curve central task sector width is equal to the locking bandwidth of injection locking:By controlling injection ratio can be with control centre's work sector width;For DFB types used in the system Active Optical Fiber grating, controlled range is from 100kHz~25MHz;Narrow central linear area means higher strain sensitivity, wide Central task area mean the dynamic range of bigger;Thus according to specific application scenario suitable frequency discrimination can be selected bent Line.Fig. 2 (a) illustrates the PDH signals for applying and being obtained after pumping, even if under the detection of optical power of 0.1nW, PDH signals Signal-to-noise ratio is still very good, and PDH work sector widths only have 0.33MHz;In contrast, Fig. 2 (b), which is illustrated, is not added with pump light Under PDH signals, hence it is evident that PDH works sector width broadening, and signal-to-noise ratio degradation.Fig. 3 is illustrated under different injection ratios Obtained PDH work sector widths.Before making the present invention, the adjustable PDH frequency discrimination curves of central task sector width can be realized by not having also.
The present invention has following several advantages compared with the interferometer demodulation techniques of existing fiber laser sensor:
