Description

A kind of white light interference electro-optical system
Technical field
The utility model relates to optical fiber sensing technology, is specifically related to the measuring system of optical fiber interference signal.
Background technology
The utility model is mainly based on principle of optical interference.This fiber optic interferometric system is at same optical fiber, and the light from same lasing light emitter that promptly two bundles are propagated along both forward and reverse directions in the optics closed-loop path forms interferes.When the optics closed-loop path receives external disturbance, the light path of propagating along both forward and reverse directions will be affected.Although the influence that two-way light receives is the same, the time of this influence arrival detector is different.The interference light intensity that measures on the detector will be affected, thereby cause corresponding variation response.
With traditional optical closed-loop path interference ring is example; As shown in Figure 1; The light that laser instrument sends divides clockwise and counterclockwise both direction to get into the optics closed-loop path through the 2x2 coupling mechanism, converges to detector formation interference signal again through disturbing signal induction optical fiber and 2x2 coupling mechanism.Any disturbance is applied on the optics closed-loop path, all can cause the variation φ (t) of the phase place of propagates light, and the mistiming that this change to arrive detector is determined by position and the length of optics closed-loop path that disturbance occurs on the optics closed-loop path.Mistiming is big more, and the interference electric current that detector detects changes more greatly
I(t)=I 0(2-2cos(Δφ(t)+φ 0)), (1)
Δ φ (t)=φ (t-t in the following formula 1)-φ (t-t 2),
Figure BDA0000148504940000011
Figure BDA0000148504940000012
L 1For disturbance point CW in the optics closed-loop path to the distance of 2x2 coupling mechanism, L 2For disturbance point in the optics closed-loop path counterclockwise arrives the distance of 2x2 coupling mechanism, c is the speed that light is propagated in optical fiber, I 0Detector is from a light intensity that output terminal receives of coupling mechanism, φ when interfering for not having 0Be initial phase difference, the 2x2 coupling mechanism will bring differing of π, but the birefringence effect in the optical fiber also can have influence on φ 0
When Δ φ hour, being changed to of interference light intensity
ΔI(t)≈2I 0sin(φ 0)Δφ(t)+I 0cos(φ 0)(Δφ(t)) 2 (2)
Since the characteristic of 2x2 coupling mechanism, φ when the birefringence effect of not considering in the optical fiber 0=π, first disappearance on following formula the right, so in the optics closed-loop path fiber optic interferometric system to the response of small sample perturbations be disturbance square, rather than linear response, the difficult variation that observes interference signal.
Sensor fibre is made with single-mode fiber usually in this optics closed-loop path, optical fiber meeting bend by pressure in the Construction Arrangement, and birefringence effect wherein is that inevitably this birefringence effect will influence φ 0Value.The birefringence effect that this specific character of optics closed-loop path interference ring makes the power of its interference signal also formed in the optical fiber of optics closed-loop path influences; Can make the rightabout light experience of the two-way different optical path in the optics closed-loop path, although after they converge again identical polarization state is arranged still.
Optical fiber distortion curvature, the temperature variation when birefringence effect in the optical fiber is installed, put on the influence of the factors such as pressure on the optical fiber.So both made identical disturbance put on two same systems, observed signal power can be not identical yet.Same system is in different time, and as by day and at night, the temperature difference makes identical disturbance also can record different strong and weak signals.Sometimes even do not observe disturbing signal.This system that will make can not reliablely and stablely work.
The problems referred to above are all unavoidable problem of all fibre systems of using principle of interferences; These factors can cause rate of failing to report and the rate of false alarm of optical fiber interference signal instability, signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) variation, system a series of problems such as to increase.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiency that above-mentioned prior art exists, and a kind of white light interference electro-optical system is provided, it has, and optical fiber interference signal is stable, signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) be improved significantly advantage.
For achieving the above object; The technical scheme that the utility model adopts is: a kind of white light interference electro-optical system; It comprises white light source, photodetector, fiber coupler, sensor fibre; Wherein fiber coupler is the 2X2 fiber coupler, the two ends of sensor fibre respectively with two of coupling mechanism in the same way port be connected to form the optics closed-loop path, white light source and photodetector are connected respectively to the another side of fiber coupler; The white light that white light source sends is through fiber coupler; Divide clockwise and counterclockwise both direction to get into the optics closed-loop path, the process sensor fibre is got back to fiber coupler formation interference signal after experiencing disturbing signal, is received by photodetector.
Preferably, the splitting ratio of said fiber coupler is 1: 1, and said sensor fibre is a single-mode fiber.
The beneficial effect of the utility model is:
The utility model has used white light source to replace the laser of the single wavelength in the conventional solution.Use white light source, come down on the optics closed-loop path, to import simultaneously the light of different wave length.And the birefringence effect in this optics closed-loop path all bring different differing can for the light of each different wave length, promptly for the light of each wavelength, and the φ in the formula (2) 0Distortion curvature, the temperature variation of optical fiber in the time of installed by optical fiber, put on the influence of the factors such as pressure on the optical fiber.Therefore; When the input white light was promptly imported different wavelength of laser simultaneously in this optics closed-loop path, because the interference in this optics closed-loop path is very low to the requirement of coherent length, we still can observe interference; And to the light of different wavelengths, the φ in the formula (1) (2) 0All inequality, thus observe a kind of average effect.This average effect makes that observed interference strength is more stable, receives the influence of environmental change littler.
