example 1

[0030] Example 1: In an environment of 20°C, make a sensor with an initial working temperature of 120°C. The sensor should be composed of the following parts: a fiber grating, aluminum with a large thermal expansion coefficient (α=22*10 -6 / K) base, small coefficient of thermal expansion invar (α=0.5*10 -6 / K) strip, where a strip hole, a set screw and a nut are made on the invar strip. according to figure 2 with image 3 In the way shown, first fix the aluminum base and the invar strip together with screws and nuts. Then use epoxy glue to paste the two ends of the fiber grating to the aluminum base and the end points of the invar strip respectively. Then, you can determine d by moving the invar bar, and choose different Δd according to different Ts.

[0031] Might as well set L=500mm, d=15mm. At this time, the pre-loose length of the fiber grating should be:

[0036] Example 2: In an environment of 20°C, make a sensor with an initial working temperature of -80°C. The sensor is mainly composed of the following parts: a fiber grating, an invar base with a small thermal expansion coefficient, a long aluminum strip with a large thermal expansion coefficient, and a long hole, a fixing screw and a nut are made on the aluminum strip. according to figure 2 with image 3In the way shown, the invar base and the aluminum bar are first fixed together with screws and nuts. Then use epoxy glue to paste the two ends of the fiber grating to the invar base and the ends of the aluminum bar respectively. Then, d can be determined by moving the aluminum strip, and different Δd can be selected according to different Ts.

Abstract

The invention provides a manufacturing method of a high-sensitivity optical fiber grating temperature sensor working at high and low temperatures. The sensor adopts a bimetallic structure, and the temperature at which the sensor starts to work is adjusted by adjusting the pre-loose length of the fiber grating. The method solves the problem that the high-sensitivity fiber grating temperature sensor cannot work at high and low temperatures. It will have wide application prospects in the field of temperature measurement.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber sensor, in particular to a design method and a manufacturing process of a double-metal optical fiber grating temperature-increasing sensor. 2. Technical background [0002] Fiber Bragg Grating has many advantages that other sensors can't match: all-optical measurement, no electrical equipment at the monitoring site, free from electromagnetic and nuclear radiation interference; zero drift, long-term stability; the center wavelength of reflected light is used to characterize the measured object, not affected by the light source Influenced by factors such as power fluctuations, fiber microbending effects, and coupling loss; absolute measurement, no calibration required during system installation and long-term use; long service life, etc. [0003] Fiber Bragg grating is a spatial phase grating formed in the core of a single-mode fiber by using the photosensitivity of the fiber material, that is, the interaction ...
