Abstract

The invention relates to a coaxial optical fiber-based temperature and stress dual-parameter optical fiber sensor which is formed by sequentially connecting a single mode input optical fiber, a first coaxial optical fiber, an intermediate single mode optical fiber, a second coaxial optical fiber and a single mode output optical fiber, wherein the single mode input optical fiber, the first coaxialoptical fiber and the intermediate single mode optical fiber are sequentially welded to form a first sensing unit; and the intermediate single mode optical fiber, the second coaxial optical fiber andthe single mode output optical fiber are sequentially welded to form a second sensing unit. The first coaxial optical fiber and the second coaxial optical fiber have different structural parameters, the first sensing unit and the second sensing unit have resonance filtering spectrums with different wavelengths; and the two resonance filtering spectrums have different sensitivities for two parameters, namely the temperature and the stress, thereby the dual-parameter optical fiber sensor can be realized. The coaxial optical fiber-based temperature and stress dual-parameter optical fiber sensor disclosed by the invention has the advantages of simple preparation process, low cost, compact structure, stable performance, easiness for integration with a standard single mode optical fiber system,and the like.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a temperature and stress dual-parameter optical fiber sensor based on a coaxial optical fiber, which belongs to the application field of optical fiber sensing technology. Background technique [0002] Temperature and stress are the two most important physical quantities in the application of optical fiber sensing technology. In the safety monitoring field of large bridges, tunnels, dams, etc., it is necessary to detect the two parameters of temperature and stress. However, because the optical fiber itself is sensitive to temperature and stress at the same time, that is, temperature and stress will cause changes in the optical fiber sensing signal at the same time, making it impossible to distinguish the specific effects of the two. This is the cross-sensitivity problem. The cross-sensitivity problem can be said to be a common problem of optical fiber sensing technology, which restricts the application and promotion of optical fiber ...
