The utility model relates to a kind of optical fibre grating digital demodulation system based on autocorrelation principle.
Background technology
Fiber-optic grating sensor is a kind of wavelength-modulated type device, compact conformation, antijamming capability is strong, be convenient to utilize multiplexing (wavelength-division, time-division, the empty branch) technology to form optical fiber sensing network and carry out the large tracts of land multimetering, in many fields such as communication, building, machinery, medical treatment, space flight, navigation, mining industry wide application prospect is arranged all, obtain very big development in recent years.
At present, theoretical research about optical fiber grating sensing has obtained very big achievement, ripe fiber grating manufacturing process has also made fiber-optic grating sensor have the small serial production ability, and how to reduce cost, improve and separate the mediation multiplex technique, the requirement of satisfying high-precision applications on the engineering has become urgent problem.
Because the fiber grating demodulation technology is a kind of optic fiber grating wavelength drift high-resolution Detection Techniques, fundamental purpose is that the sensing grating reflectance spectrum is monitored in real time, analyze the coding wavelength change and be translated into electric signal output, its essence is the resolution of different coding light in a branch of light and the problem of measurement.Desirable detection method should satisfy following requirement:
(1) measurement range is big, the resolution height.In the practical application, usually require the investigative range of wavelength shift to reach nanoscale, Measurement Resolution is that inferior micromicron arrives several micromicrons, and promptly range of dynamic measurement is 1000: 1 ~ 100000: 1.
(2) reusability is good.Fiber grating sensing system mainly is made of light source, fiber-optic grating sensor and demodulating system three parts.By sharing light source and demodulating system, the cost of fiber grating sensing system will significantly reduce with the increase of multiplied sensor number, thereby reduce the cost of total system.
(3) real-time is good.For satisfying in the engineering, need demodulating system to have higher demodulation rate, so that in time follow the tracks of the variation of measured signal to the requirement of real time monitoring signals.
(4) highly versatile.For adapting to the needs of different scales fiber grating sensing system, require demodulating system can adapt to the measuring system of different wave length, varying number fiber-optic grating sensor formation, promptly have the versatility that does not rely on a certain particular fiber grating sensor.
At present, both at home and abroad this technology has been launched extensive and deep research, and proposed many demodulation schemes from different aspects, but commonly used mainly be filter method, interferometric method and tunable optical source scanning method, shown in subordinate list 1.Relatively get on very well, external research in this respect is comparatively ripe, and advanced technology and product are arranged; And the domestic development that still is in, the corresponding main dependence on import of product is so press for advanced technology with autonomous property right and product.

Figure Y20072002760800031
From subordinate list 1 as can be seen, existing demodulation method, or technical sophistication, cost performance is low, general field is difficult to accept; Real-time is poor, and resolution is low, is difficult to adapt to the needs of engineering survey, therefore all can not satisfy requirement of actual application fully.Particularly, the defective of prior art mainly shows the following aspects:
(1) high-resolution detection problem is difficult to solve under the strong noise background.In fiber grating sensing system, the spectrum width of sensing grating only is 0.07 ~ 0.6nm, and the reflected signal luminous energy is a part very small in the system source, therefore requires demodulating equipment higher signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) to be arranged with the needed resolution of assurance system.And existing demodulation techniques adopt the light intensity detection method mostly, are difficult to solve the problem that high-resolution is surveyed under the strong noise background.
(2) multiplied sensor limited amount, the sensing network scale is difficult to adapt to actual demand.By sharing light source and demodulating system, the cost of fiber grating sensing system will significantly reduce with the increase of multiplied sensor number, and then form the advantage with respect to the dynamo-electric sensor-based system of tradition.But existing demodulation techniques are only supported 20 ~ 40 multiplied sensor number, and the multiplexing capacity of optical fiber grating sensing network is very limited, can't satisfy the scale requirement of large-scale and complicated monitoring objective.
(3) detection problem in real time is difficult to solve.Detection in real time requires demodulating system to have signal demodulation rate faster, can also can both measure well stationary singnal and Dynamic Signal simultaneously, and prior art can't satisfy the requirement of this two aspect simultaneously.This also is that the restriction fiber grating sensing system enters the bottleneck place that engineering is used.

(2) reusability is good.Unlike the prior art, demodulation techniques described in the utility model are to obtain the multiplied sensor wave length shift by the variation of comparing adjacent periods internal modulation signal waveform, therefore when multiplexing, allow the spectral line of different measuring points multiplied sensor to be of similar shape (having identical centre wavelength) as allowing the different measuring points sensor, also allow the different measuring points multiplied sensor to have identical wavelength variation range (as being 1550nm-1555nm), thereby promoted the multiplexing capacity of system significantly.In theory, the number of demodulation techniques multiplied sensor described in the utility model can be unlimited, then is subjected to the restriction of optical-fiber network building mode and digital signal processor arithmetic capability during practical application.
(3) real-time is good.The signal that only can follow the tracks of several hertz ~ tens hertz with prior art is different, and demodulation techniques described in the utility model adopt flexible measurement method, have very fast demodulation speed, can follow the tracks of the signal of KHz magnitude, can satisfy the needs of real-time monitoring fully.
(4) cost performance height.Prior art has very strong dependence to the particular optical device, and this device mainly relies on import, so cost is very high.Demodulation techniques described in the utility model adopt numerical approach, have reduced the dependence to optical device to a certain extent, therefore can reduce system cost effectively, improve the cost performance of system.
