kSatisfy:
f
k＝kc/(2nl)
Wherein, l is the length of interferometer, and n is the refractive index in the interferometer, and c is the light velocity, and k is any positive integer.By following formula as seen, by measuring the resonance frequency of resonator, can obtain the information of length and refractive index, and then realize the sensing of the many kinds of parameters such as distance, temperature, strain, refractive index, the precision of its sensing depends on the measuring accuracy of optical resonantor frequency.To quasi-static signal, and based on the measurement of the signal of difference such as shear strain etc., need accurately the relatively resonance frequency of two different resonators.
The method that present high precision resonance frequency measuring technique adopts the light position to modulate mutually.Modulate mutually by laser is carried out the position, make the instantaneous frequency of laser be sinusoidal rule variation with frequency omega; Then measure its reflection (or transmission, lower with) light intensity.When the centre frequency off-resonance frequency of laser, comprise the item that frequency is Ω in the frequency spectrum of catoptrical light intensity.When the centre frequency of laser is consistent with resonance frequency, because the symmetry of reflectance curve will not comprise the composition that frequency is Ω in the reflective light intensity.Intensity by Ω item in the demodulation reflective light intensity and position are mutually, can accurately detect the difference (R.W.P.Drever between the resonance frequency of laser center frequency and resonator cavity, et al., " Laser Phase and Frequency Stabilization Using an Optical-Resonator; " Applied Physics B-Photophysics and Laser Chemistry, vol.31, pp.97-105,1983.).Compare with the light intensity reflectivity of direct-detection resonator cavity, this method is insensitive to the intensity noise that light source, optical receiver and light path Distributed reflection cause, thereby can obtain high freuqency accuracy.But the restituted signal that this technology obtains only is being not more than the FWHM(Full width at half maximum of resonator spectral line width, full width at half maximum) in the scope, its restituted signal is just linear with the difference on the frequency of laser resonant cavity.In order to measure the difference of two resonance frequencies, current a kind of method is to use with a branch of laser to survey simultaneously this two resonance frequencies, and the size (J.H.Chow of its restituted signal of comparison, et al., " Demonstration of a passive subpicostrain fiber strain sensor, " Optics Letters, vol.30, pp.1923-1925,2005).The measurement range of this method is not more than the FWHM of resonator, if increase FWHM, then can reduce sensitivity and the precision of measurement.It is to use tunable laser that current another kind is measured the poor method of resonance frequency, frequency by scan laser, obtain respectively the frequency of two resonators laser when realizing resonance, subtract each other the difference (Q.Liu that just can obtain two resonance frequencies, et al., " Ultra-high-resolution large-dynamic-range optical fiber static strain sensor using Pound-Drever-Hall technique; " Opt.Lett., vol.36, pp.4044-4046,2011.).In this method, non-linear in carrying out large frequency range scanning process of laser limited the precision that resonance frequency is measured, and along with the increase of resonance frequency difference, the laser frequency sweep limit also will increase, and the precision that difference on the frequency is measured can descend thereupon.
