Utilize optical fiber grating temperature-measuring to be mostly to adopt the wavelength selectivity reflection original of FBG: when composite signal entered FBG, near the spectrum its reflection kernel wavelength almost all was reflected back, but not near the almost completely transmission of light the centre wavelength.The existing scheme of optical fiber grating temperature-measuring of utilizing is utilized the thermally sensitive characteristic of fiber grating, the wavelength that utilizes broadband spectral to enter behind the grating selects reflection characteristic to carry out the measurement of temperature, thereby reflection wave is introduced the fiber grating demodulation device wavelength is carried out demodulation, obtain temperature to be measured.Because the fiber grating demodulation device costs an arm and a leg, the general mode that adopts a plurality of fiber gratings to connect of this scheme realizes the measurement of multiple spot.The cost of each measurement point can be shared equally like this.Though this scheme has realized utilizing fiber grating that temperature is measured, because grating is connected, therefore in case wherein certain is damaged, total system just can not have been worked, and has reduced the stability of system.

The optical fiber grating temperature-measuring structural representation of accompanying drawing 2 for simplifying.
Embodiment
Specify below in conjunction with schematic diagram of the present utility model:
As shown in Figure 1, the utility model comprises thermometric sensing head 1, and this two large divisions of FBG thermometric controller.And comprised 3, two fiber directional couplers 4 of wide range SLED light source and 5 in the FBG thermometric controller, temperature Discr. 6,7, two photodetection instrument 8 of heat-conducting plate and 9, and the CPU 10 of a control usefulness.Temperature Discr. 6 be stick on the heat-conducting plate 7 so that change the grating cycle and the centre wavelength of temperature Discr. 6 by heat-conducting plate 7 heating or cooling.CPU10 and heat-conducting plate 7, two photo-detectors 8 link to each other with 9 and SLED light source 3, control the running of whole FBG thermometric controller.
As Fig. 1, thermometric sensing head 1 is placed external environment condition, thereby change the centre wavelength that its reflects because the temperature of external environment condition can cause the grating cycle of thermometric sensing head to change.SLED light source 3 from the thermometric controller enters the thermometric sensing head after emitting wide range light direction of passage coupling mechanism 4, the thermometric sensing head of this moment has been because because external temperature has changed the cycle, so wide range light enters the information that narrow band light that the sensing head back reflection returns has just been carried external temperature.Owing to plated absorbing film in thermometric sensing head 1 other end, so the signal that sensing head 1 is crossed in transmission will be absorbed, can be because of reflection taking place and influence measurement afterwards at rear end face.Reflected narrow band light by entering temperature Discr. 6 after fiber directional coupler 4 and 5 by thermometric sensing head 1, CPU control this moment heat-conducting plate 7 is given 6 heating of temperature Discr. or cooling, monitors the luminous power of accepting on photo- detector 8 and 9 simultaneously.Heat-conducting plate 7 heating or cooling make the temperature of the temperature Discr. 6 on it rise or reduce, thereby the feasible wherein cyclomorphosis of FBG changes its reflection kernel wavelength.When its heating or the cooling temperature not to the time, the centre wavelength of temperature Discr. 6 does not match with the narrow band light that has the external temperature signal of transmitting the temperature Discr., thereby causes the most of transmission excess temperature of laser of narrowband Discr. 6 to enter photo-detector 9 and the received optical power of photo-detector 8 almost is very much 0.And when the temperature of heat-conducting plate 7 heating or cooling just in time reaches external temperature, the centre wavelength of temperature Discr. 6 is just in time mated with the narrow band light that has the external temperature signal that transmits the temperature Discr., thereby make the laser of narrowband major part by 6 reflections of temperature Discr., enter photo-detector 8 after the reflected light direction of passage coupling mechanism 5, when the received optical power of photo-detector 8 reaches maximum at this moment, control circuit stops heat-conducting plate being heated or lowers the temperature, and with the heat-conducting plate temperature that the records this moment temperature as sensing head.Meanwhile, all the time the light signal of surveying on the photo-detector 9 be can be used as reference, eliminate any interference that causes because of other factors of system automatically.
As want to measure the temperature of many places, and can use photoswitch with a plurality of such optical fiber grating temperature-measuring system parallel connections, can realize the temperature of a plurality of points is patrolled and examined by time division multiplex.Can also further reduce the cost of each point for measuring temperature like this.
As another alternative embodiment, the utility model also proposes a kind of optical fiber grating temperature-measuring structure of simplification.
As shown in Figure 2, this simplified structure has comprised the CPU 26 of 24, one photo-detectors 25 of 23, heat-conducting plates of 22, one directional couplers of 21, one narrow-band semiconductor laser instruments of thermometric sensing head and a control usefulness.Semiconductor laser 22 sticks on the heat-conducting plate 24, and CPU26 and narrow-band semiconductor laser instrument 22, heat-conducting plate 24, and photo-detector 25 is continuous, with the control whole system operation.
As Fig. 2, the advanced behaviour earlier calibrated before measurement, obtains the relation between narrow-band semiconductor laser instrument emission wavelength and the external temperature.Thermometric sensing head 21 places external environment condition, thereby changes the centre wavelength that its reflects because the temperature of external environment condition can cause the grating cycle of thermometric sensing head to change.Heat-conducting plate 24 and semiconductor laser 22 adhere to each other, heat or lower the temperature by CPU 26 control heat-conducting plates 24 noise spectra of semiconductor lasers 22, and the emission center wavelength temperature influence of semiconductor laser 22, the heating of 24 pairs of laser instruments of heat-conducting plate or cooling can cause the center emission wavelength of semiconductor laser to change.Carry out cyclical variation by CPU26 control heat-conducting plate 24 temperature, thereby make the periodic scan variations of centre wavelength of narrow-band semiconductor laser instrument 22.The laser of narrowband of semiconductor laser 22 emissions enters thermometric sensing head 21, if the narrow band light of emission and the centre wavelength of thermometric sensing head 21 do not match, laser of narrowband is most of so can see through thermometric FBG, because coated absorbing film at thermometric sensing head 21 rear end faces, the narrow band light that sees through thermometric sensing head 21 can be absorbed film and absorb, and does not influence measurement effect and can not reflect.Therefore the luminous power that this moment, photo-detector 25 recorded is very little.And if the centre wavelength of the narrow band light of laser instrument emission and thermometric sensing head 21 is mated, narrow band light is most of so can be entered photo-detector 25 by fiber directional coupler 23 by 21 reflections of thermometric sensing head, and the luminous power maximum that this moment, photo-detector 25 recorded.Control by CPU can record the temperature of the luminous power that records on the photo-detector 25 heat-conducting plate 24 when maximum and the emission center wavelength of semiconductor laser 22.Utilize the data of calibration in advance, CPU 26 can calculate outside temperature this moment.
As want to measure the temperature of many places, and can make equally to use up and open the light a plurality of such optical fiber grating temperature-measuring system parallel connections, can realize the temperature of a plurality of points is patrolled and examined by time division multiplex.Can also further reduce the cost of each point for measuring temperature like this.
