Abstract

The invention relates to a fiber grating sensor which comprises a wideband light source, optical fibers, a filter of a fixed wavelength, a probe and a fiber grating, wherein the fiber grating is arranged in a measuring point, is used for monitoring the change of hydrogen, and is plated with metal palladium. The fiber grating sensor is characterized in that the filter of a fixed wavelength only permits a narrow light wavelength band to pass through while limiting other wavelength bands to pass through, permits the passable light wavelength band not to be in a reflecting wavelength band of the fiber grating, and forms a preset wavelength difference value with the reflecting wavelength band, and probe light is injected in the wideband light source. When the monitored hydrogen changes to a quantitative value, the reflecting wavelength band of the fiber grating in the measuring point drifts away to the preset wavelength difference value so that the reflecting wavelength band is crossed with the passable wavelength band permitted by the filter of a fixed wavelength. At the time, at least a part of reflecting light signals of the fiber grating can reach the probe through the filter of a fixed wavelength so as to probe the change of the hydrogen.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber grating sensor, which is a sensor for detecting changes of hydrogen gas by means of optical fibers and optical fiber gratings, and the method belongs to the field of sensing technology. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen is a clean and efficient energy source. At present, space shuttles mainly use hydrogen as fuel, and automobiles are also exploring the use of hydrogen as an energy source. However, because hydrogen is flammable and explosive, it is necessary to detect whether there is leakage at any time during use to ensure safe use. Traditional electrical sensors are prone to electric sparks, so they are basically not suitable for detecting hydrogen, so the use of optical fiber technology for hydrogen detection is now a major solution. The basic technical method is to combine the metal handle with the optical fiber sensor, and use the characteristic of hydrogen absorption and deformation of metal palladi...
