Embodiment Construction

[0020] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] figure 1 Shown is a schematic diagram of a typical FBG sensing system. The light source 1 generally adopts a fiber-optic amplified spontaneous emission broadband light source (ASE light source) or a semiconductor superluminescent light emitting diode (SLED light source). The light source 1 structure of the present invention sees figure 2 , the semiconductor optical amplifier 9 and the Faraday rotating total reflection mirror 6 are connected by an optical fiber 7 to form a light source 1 . The control circuit 8 provides temperature control and driving current for the semiconductor optical amplifier 9, so that the semiconductor optical amplifier 9 provides a certain gain. However, in the optical fiber path, since the optical fiber line 3 is relatively long, possibly reaching tens of kilometers, the polarization state of the light inside will change randomly. ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an external cavity laser device used in a fiber grating sensing system. Background technique [0002] In recent years, fiber gratings have been successfully used to sense different physical quantities. Its outstanding advantage is reusability. The multiplexing technologies used in optical fiber sensor networks include time division multiplexing, space division multiplexing, wavelength and frequency multiplexing, and coherent multiplexing. Using multiple fiber gratings can form a distributed sensing network to achieve multi-point detection, which has important applications in intelligent and smart structures. Compared with the single-grating sensing system, the multiplexing sensing system has the advantages of high cost performance and large detection range, which has attracted widespread attention. By sharing the light source and electronic processing part, as the number of multiplexed sensors in the system increases, the cos...
