Problems solved by technology

The wavelength tracking method measures the cavity length by detecting the fringe peak wavelength of the FPI output white light spectrum, which has high sensitivity, but is only applicable to the case of a small cavity length
When the cavity length is small, the linear or quadrature demodulation method also has high sensitivity, but it cannot avoid the influence caused by the change of light source intensity and fiber transmission loss
Fast Fourier transform (FFT) is the most popular demodulation method at present. It transforms the signal from the wavelength domain to the cavity length domain, and calculates the cavity length by tracking the frequency peak position of the Fourier spectrum, but the measurement accuracy is lower than that of the wavelength tracking method. a lot of

Abstract

The invention is an optical fiber Fourier transform white light interference relative measurement method, relates to optical fiber sensor technology, and belongs to the field of optoelectronics. In this method, two Fabry-Perot interferometric (FPI) sensors are selected, one of which is used for sensing and the other is used as a reference; the output white light spectrum of FPI is respectively detected and Fourier transformed, and the Fourier spectrum is carried by the frequency determined by the length of the FPI cavity. Frequency, separated into two groups of symmetrical carrier frequency components in the frequency space; one group of components is filtered out for inverse Fourier transform, the two groups of results are conjugated and multiplied to take the complex logarithm, and the phase difference information of the two FPIs is used as the signal The imaginary part of is separated from the background formed by the spectral profile of the light source and the contrast of the interference fringes, enabling the measurement. Compared with the white light spectrum peak measurement method and the Fourier transform peak frequency measurement method, the measurement accuracy of the method of the invention is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to an optical fiber Fourier transform white light interferometry method. Background technique [0002] The external cavity Fabry-Perot interferometric (EFPI) optical fiber sensor has the advantages of high measurement sensitivity, compact structure, anti-polarization, etc., and has been widely used. To be measured, such as strain, temperature, displacement or pressure, etc., act on the EFPI fiber optic sensor, causing the change of the sensor cavity length, and the cavity length is demodulated from the output interference signal of the sensor, so as to realize the measurement to be measured. Generally, people do not care about the absolute cavity length of the EFPI fiber sensor, but are interested in the variation of the cavity length. For example, if an EFPI fiber optic strain sensor is installed on a certain structure, its initial strain is zero. When the sensor is ...
