Description

Self-packaging interference type optical fiber hydrogen sensor based on C-shaped ceramic sleeve
Technical Field
The invention provides a self-packaging interference type optical fiber hydrogen sensor based on a C-shaped ceramic sleeve, and belongs to the field of optical fiber sensing.
Background
The hydrogen has the advantages of high combustion efficiency, no pollution of products and the like, and is called as three new energy sources together with solar energy and nuclear energy. As a new energy source, hydrogen is widely applied in the fields of aviation, power and the like; meanwhile, the hydrogen is used as a reducing gas and a carrier gas, and has extremely important application value in chemical industry, electronics, medical treatment and metal smelting, particularly in the field of military and national defense. However, hydrogen molecules are very small, and are easy to leak in the processes of production, storage, transportation and use, and because hydrogen is not beneficial to breathing, colorless and tasteless, and cannot be detected by human nose, and the ignition point is only 585 ℃, the content of air is within the range of 4% -75%, and explosion happens when the air meets open fire, the content of hydrogen in the environment must be detected by using a hydrogen sensor in the use of hydrogen, and the leakage of the hydrogen is monitored.
Currently, hydrogen sensors on the market are mainly classified into a semiconductor type, a thermoelectric type, and an optical fiber type. The semiconductor-type hydrogen sensor includes resistive and non-resistive semiconductor sensors. The resistance type semiconductor sensor is a metal oxide semiconductor hydrogen sensor mainly prepared by taking metal oxides such as tin oxide, zinc oxide, tungsten oxide and the like as gas adsorbing materials. The non-resistance semiconductor sensor detects the concentration of hydrogen by detecting non-resistance electrical quantity such as capacitance, and includes two types, a schottky diode type and a metal-oxide-semiconductor type field effect transistor type. The main disadvantages of the semiconductor-type hydrogen sensor are that the selectivity is poor, the sensor is easily interfered by other reducing gases, such as carbon monoxide, electric sparks are easily generated in the using process, and explosion is easily caused in the environment with high integral number of hydrogen gas. The thermoelectric hydrogen sensor mainly utilizes the thermoelectric power generation effect (seebeck effect) of thermoelectric materials to convert the temperature difference between the hot end and the cold end into thermoelectric potential, and the thermoelectric potential is output according to the situation of an electric signal, so that the detection of hydrogen is realized. The main current disadvantages of the thermoelectric hydrogen sensor are that electric sparks are easily generated in the use process, and explosion occurs when the thermoelectric hydrogen sensor is used in a high-concentration hydrogen environment, so that great danger is caused. The optical fiber type hydrogen sensor is mainly classified into an optical fiber grating type, a lens type, a evanescent field type and an interference type. The FBG part of the optical fiber is coated with a layer of hydrogen sensitive material, the central wavelength of the optical fiber grating type is caused to drift depending on the heat generated by the hydrogen sensitive material or the stretching of the volume expansion to the optical fiber structure, and the measurement of the hydrogen concentration can be realized by detecting the change of the central wavelength. FBG-based fiber optic hydrogen sensors often require a reduction in the diameter of the fiber to achieve highly sensitive measurement of hydrogen, or an increase in the thickness of the coated hydrogen-sensitive film to enhance sensitivity, but the increase in thickness slows down the diffusion rate of hydrogen and the response time of the sensor. The lens type optical fiber hydrogen sensor is mainly only suitable for point-type measurement and needs an optical switch to realize repeated routing and addressing of the sensor, the multiplexing capability is greatly limited, and the response sensitivity and the response time are mutually interfered, so that independent optimization is difficult to realize. The evanescent field type optical fiber hydrogen sensor realizes the measurement of the hydrogen concentration by utilizing the influence of hydrogen on evanescent field sensitive materials. The sensors are complex in preparation process and large in light attenuation, and are only suitable for basic research in laboratories at present. The working principle of the interference type optical fiber hydrogen sensor is that two beams of light with equal frequency, same propagation direction and constant phase difference generate interference at a junction. The interference type optical fiber hydrogen sensor mainly depends on the hydrogen sensitive material coated on the side surface or the tail end of the optical fiber structure and the hydrogen gas to interact with the material, and the refraction of the material changes to cause the spectral shift, so as to realize the detection of the hydrogen gas concentration. Although the interference type hydrogen gas sensor is susceptible to temperature interference, it is also well-focused and studied because it does not require special processes such as chemical etching, polishing, tapering, etc. and has high detection sensitivity, compared to other types of hydrogen gas sensors. Compared with other interference type sensors, the FPI type optical fiber hydrogen sensor has the characteristics of compact structure, simple working mode and high sensitivity, and is more suitable for anti-electromagnetic interference and hydrogen concentration measurement in narrow areas.
