Description

The central wavelength of the FBG reflection resonance peak can drift along with the influence of external temperature, strain, vibration, noise and the like, and the real-time monitoring of the physical quantities can be realized by demodulating the FBG resonance central wavelength.

This solution has the advantage of small volume, but integration has not really been achieved. The accuracy of measurement near the peak is not high, which limits the accuracy of wavelength measurement of the demodulator.

Detailed Description
The invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention, a dual-arrayed waveguide grating-based high-resolution spectrum demodulation technique, includes a wide-spectrum light source, an optical isolator, a circulator, a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) array, a Y-splitter, two Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWGs), two photoelectric conversion circuits, two a/D conversion circuits, and a signal processing unit.
As shown in fig. 2, a single AWG channel outputs a spectral plot, and both AWGs are kept consistent except for 2nm difference in center wavelength. Fig. 3 is a graph of the output spectra of three adjacent channels of two Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWGs).
The method specifically comprises the following steps:
1. light output by the wide-spectrum light source enters the FBG array through the optical isolator and the circulator by the optical path 1.
2. After entering the FBG, the incident light generates mode coupling, narrow-band light meeting the Bragg condition is reflected, and the central wavelength of the reflected light is
λ FBG =2n eff Λ (1)
Wherein λ is FBG Is the Bragg wavelength of the fiber grating, Λ is the grating period of the fiber grating, n eff Is the effective index of the core of the fiber. When the external environment changes, n of the grating eff And Λ will change, resulting in reflectionCentral wavelength of light lambda FBG And (4) changing. The FBG reflection spectrum has a functional expression of

Wherein R is 0 Is a normalization factor, λ, of the FBG reflection spectrum FBG Is the central wavelength of the FBG, Δ λ FBG Is the half-peak bandwidth of the FBG reflection spectrum.
3. The reflected light enters the Y-shaped beam splitter from the light path 2 through the circulator again and is split into two same beams of light.
4. The two beams of light enter the AWG with two channels with staggered central wavelengths respectively. For any AWG, two output channels of the AWG corresponding to the central wavelength of the FBG are Ch (m), Ch (m +1) and lambda m 、λ m+1 The overlapping part of the FBG reflection spectrum and the AWG channel transmission spectrum determines the output light intensity of the arrayed waveguide grating channel for the central wavelength of m and m +1 of two adjacent channels of the AWG, as shown in FIG. 4. In order to facilitate theoretical analysis, only temperature influence factors are considered, and both the fiber Bragg grating reflection spectrum and the transmission spectrum of the arrayed waveguide grating channel are approximately expressed by Gaussian functions, so that the transmission spectrum function expression of the AWG channel m is

Wherein, T 0 Is the normalization factor of the AWG transmission spectrum, lambda and lambda m Respectively representing the wavelength of the incident light and the central wavelength of the AWG channel m, Delta lambda m Is the half-peak bandwidth of the m transmission spectrum of the AWG channel.
The output light intensity of each channel of the AWG is the integral of the product of the emission spectrum of the light source, the FBG reflection spectrum and the AWG transmission spectrum in the whole spectral range, and the output light intensities of the channel m and the channel m +1 are respectively obtained by the formulas (2) and (3)

Wherein, P m 、P m+1 Output light intensities, L, of AWG channel m and channel m +1, respectively m 、L m+1 The attenuation factors of the AWG channel m and the channel m +1, respectively, can be considered to be equal in the same AWG wavelength demodulation system, i.e. Lm ═ L m+1 =L,I S (lambda) is the emission spectrum of the light source, and as can be seen from the equations (2) and (3), the intensity of the light is mainly determined by the wavelength at lambda m 、λ FBG The nearby light determination, i.e. the integration of equations (4) and (5) only in a narrow band, whereas the spectral density of a broadband light source in a narrow band can be regarded as a constant value I S (λ)=I S Then the formulas (4) and (5) can be simplified to

Figure BDA0003647543000000044
Under the condition that the transmission coefficients and half-peak bandwidths of the channels of the AWG are equal, the ratio of the formula (7) to the formula (6) is made to obtain the light intensity ratio of the channel m of the AWG to the channel m + 1:
Figure BDA0003647543000000045
Figure BDA0003647543000000051
wherein Δ λ ═ λ m+1m The interval between two adjacent channels of AWG can be regarded as a fixed value, and the logarithm with e as the base is taken on two sides of the formula (8):
Figure BDA0003647543000000052
the formula (9) is a theoretical formula of the AWG wavelength demodulation algorithm, and the logarithm of the output light intensity ratio of the AWG and the central wavelength of the FBG sensor are in a linear relationship. As shown in fig. 5, the test results of processing two AWGs with central wavelengths of the channels differing by 0.2nm by Matlab, resulted in a substantially linear demodulation function.
5. And then, light output by each AWG channel is accessed into a photoelectric conversion circuit, wherein a PIN photodiode converts an optical signal into an electric signal, the working mode is a photovoltaic mode, the responsivity is 0.9A/W, voltage amplification is realized through an operational amplification circuit, if the output light power of the AWG channel is 1nW, the response current is 0.9nA, and the output voltage of the amplification circuit is U-IR-0.9 nA × 330k Ω -0.297 mV.
6. The output voltage is connected to an A/D conversion circuit to convert an analog signal into a digital signal, wherein a 24-bit A/D conversion chip is used to realize the conversion of the output voltage U equal to 0.297 mV.
7. And finally, the output digital signals are accessed into a signal processing unit, namely, an STM32 singlechip is used for calculating formula (9) to demodulate, and the result is calculated.
In this embodiment, the channel spacing of each AWG is 0.4nm, the insertion loss is about 4.5dB, and the 1dB bandwidth is about 0.18 nm.
In summary, the invention demodulates the FBG reflected wavelength by using two parallel AWGs, connects the Y-shaped beam splitter with the two AWGs, and allows the input signal to enter the AWGs with staggered central wavelengths of the two channels through the beam splitter, so that the slope of the linear demodulation function is significantly better than the scheme of increasing the spectral overlap of the single AWG, thereby achieving higher demodulation resolution, making up the problem that the wavelength range of the single AWG between the demodulation channels cannot be covered, and achieving 1540 and 1560nm demodulation range full coverage.
