Example Embodiment

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Such as figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the optical fiber geophone includes a tilted fiber grating 1, a cladding-core energy recoupling structure 2, a polymer elastic tube 3, a supporting member 4, a housing 5 and an optical fiber wire 6; polymer One end of the elastic tube 3 is fixed on the supporting member 4, and the other end is suspended to sense vibration; the inclined fiber grating 1, the cladding-core energy recoupling structure 2 are all encapsulated in the polymer elastic tube 3; the outside of the polymer elastic tube 3 is The shell 5 is protected; the polymer elastic tube 3 is connected to an external light source and a photodetector through an optical fiber wire 6. The polymer elastic tube 3 protects the internally inclined optical fiber grating 1 while using its own high elasticity to effectively transmit environmental vibrations to the internal optical fiber.

Example Embodiment

[0035] Example 2

[0036] The structure of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 1 except for the following features: image 3 As shown, the cladding-core energy recoupling structure 2 is processed by the optical fiber tapering method. Among them, when the untapered cladding diameter is 125um, the fiber tapered diameter is controlled between 60-90um, which not only ensures sufficient cladding-core-mode coupling channel, but also avoids the fiber taper from being too thin and reducing its mechanical strength. Similarly, the taper position is as close as possible to the inclined fiber grating, with a typical spacing of 2 to 5 mm. In this embodiment, 3mm is selected. The size of the entire sensing probe is less than 15mm.

[0037] The tilted fiber grating 1 adopts a tilted grating, and the tilt angle of the grating is 4 degrees.

Abstract

The invention discloses an optical fiber geophone, which comprises a tilted optical fiber grating, a cladding-core energy recoupling structure, a polymer elastic tube, a supporting member, a shell and an optical fiber wire. One end of the polymer elastic tube is fixed on the supporting member. The other end is suspended to sense vibration, and the tilted fiber grating and cladding-core energy recoupling structure are all encapsulated in a polymer elastic tube; the outer side of the polymer elastic tube is protected by a shell, and the polymer elastic tube communicates with an external light source and photoelectric detection through an optical fiber wire The cladding-core energy recoupling structure is processed by a dislocation fusion splicing method or a fiber tapering method. The invention adopts a cladding-fiber core energy recoupling structure, which has a compact structure, and the structure is very sensitive to optical fiber micro-bending or optical fiber vibration, has high sensitivity, and the device demodulation is simpler and the demodulation cost is low.
