Abstract

The invention relates to an optical fiber Prague raster sensing network fast demodulating method and a device thereof. The invention uses a narrow linewidth continuous semiconductor laser as an optical source; acousto-optic modulators are asymmetrically arranged inside a Sagnac ring; a FBG sensing network is connected with the Sagnac ring through a three-port 3-dB optical fiber coupler; each FBG in series at the sensing network has the consistent Prague wavelength with the central wavelength of a laser optical source under a room temperature; the acousto-optic modulator is driven by the radio-frequency signal with changeable frequency. When the frequency of the radio-frequency signal is changed, the transmissivity of a Sagnac interferometer is changed. The drift rate of the Prague wavelength of each sensing FBG at the sensing network is obtained by fast Fourier transform and related operations, and the sensed physical quantity variation is obtained finally. The method is a novel FBG sensing network which is suitable for the field which requires the sensing network with multiple nodes, high precision, good electromagnetic interference resistance and real time monitoring.
