The arm-type sensitive diaphragm of optical fiber EFPI ultrasonic sensor supporting beam
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of optical fiber EFPI ultrasonic sensors, more particularly, to a kind of optical fiber EFPI ultrasonic sensor
With the arm-type sensitive diaphragm of supporting beam.
Background technique
Optical fiber extrinsic type Fabry Parot interferometer (Extrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometer, EFPI) ultrasound
Wave sensor be it is a set of ultrasonic wave is converted into mechanical oscillation using sensitive diaphragm structure, method of reutilization Fabry-Parot interferent technology will be mechanical
Vibration is converted into optical parameter variation, finally by the super wave of high-performance sound of the conversion of the pertinent instruments such as photodetector, acquisition, demodulation
Detection system.Its systematic schematic diagram is as depicted in figs. 1 and 2, and the light that light source issues enters by optical fiber and coupler (circulator)
By the Fa-Po cavity of fiber end face and sensitive diaphragm structure composition, in Fa-Po cavity genetic method Fabry-Parot interferent back reflection back into optical fibers, finally again
Electric signal is converted by photodetector by fiber coupler, and stores, analyze and shows after high-speed data acquiring device acquisition
Show.When sensitive diaphragm structure of popping one's head in is vibrated by ultrasonic exciting, the change that Fa-Po cavity can be caused long eventually leads to method Fabry-Parot interferent
The change of light intensity or the offset of interference peak wavelength, can final recovery sound by the change or the offset of peak wavelength that acquire light intensity
Wave signal.
Optical fiber EFPI ultrasonic sensor Fa-Po cavity sonde configuration is as in Figure 3-5, generally by optical fiber, fixed sheath, set
Pipe and sensitivity assembly, and major parameter has: fiber optic aperture D, the long l of Fa-Po cavity chamber, sensitive diaphragm are with a thickness of h and effective length
2R (it is a length of 2R of effective edge that diaphragm, which is rectangular, and it be effective diameter is 2R that diaphragm, which is prototype).The thickness of sensitive diaphragm and effectively length
Degree determines two main working parameters i.e. intrinsic frequency f and the sensitivity S of EFPI ultrasonic sensor.Studies have shown that Fig. 3 institute
Show that the intrinsic frequency f of sensitive diaphragm is mainly determined by its dimensional parameters, material property and working environment medium, the intrinsic frequency of diaphragm
Rate f is directly proportional to its thickness h, is inversely proportional with the quadratic power of the effective length parameter R of diaphragm;Keeping diaphragm intrinsic frequency f not
When change, the thickness h of vibrating diaphragm is thinner, and the sensitivity of diaphragm is bigger.Above situation, so that when test object ultrasonic signal frequency
When rate range very wide arrival 100KHz or more, it is difficult to improve the sensitivity of sensor again, greatly limits optical fiber EFPI ultrasound
The use scope of wave sensor.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the present invention to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and provide a kind of optical fiber EFPI ultrasounds
The arm-type sensitive diaphragm of wave sensor supporting beam.
The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
A kind of arm-type sensitive diaphragm of optical fiber EFPI ultrasonic sensor supporting beam, including the sensitive list of support beam arm and center
Member, the center sensing unit are mounted in support beam arm;
The working characteristics of the sensitive diaphragm is cut by the quantity n of support beam arm, the length L of support beam arm, support beam arm
The thickness h of the width w in face, the effective length 2r of center sensing unit and integral films determine.
Preferably, the support beam arm is to be arranged symmetrically.
Preferably, the center sensing unit is circle, and the quantity of the support beam arm is odd number or even number.
Preferably, the center sensing unit is rectangular, and the quantity of the support beam arm is even number.
Preferably, it is carried out on the inside of the center sensing unit gold-plated.
Preferably, center sensing unit selection silicon or earth silicon material.
Preferably, L=142 μm of the length of the support beam arm, w=15 μm of cross-sectional width, center sensing unit have
R=79 μm of radius, h=5 μm of diaphragm thickness of effect.
Compared with prior art, the invention has the following advantages that
1, the main working parameters intrinsic frequency of optical fiber EFPI ultrasonic sensor and sensitivity etc., can be by multiple parameters
Integrated configuration is adjusted, and controllability is strong, and for reaching the ultrasonic signal in detection different frequency scope, greatly expanding it makes
Use range.
2, the Fa-Po cavity of the arm-type sensitive diaphragm of supporting beam is used to pop one's head in as non-hermetic, two sides are phase when sensitive diaphragm works
With medium and pressure difference is not present, not by working environment pressure influence, so that sensor detection characteristic intrinsic frequency, sensitivity etc.
Modeling analysis becomes simple, and performance is more stable.
