Abstract

The invention discloses an optical fiber sensor and a sensing method based on a linear filter and a photoelectric detector. The optical fiber sensor comprises a broadband light source, the linear filter, an optical fiber Bragg grating and the photoelectric detector, wherein broadband light emitted by the broadband light source firstly enters the linear filter and is modulated by the linear filter, and an incidence light source with the light intensity changing linearly along with the wave length is output and is emitted into the position of the optical fiber Bragg grating. Parameters of the environment where the optical fiber Bragg grating is located modulate the wave length of reflection light signals, so that the wave length of the reflection light signals generates drifting relative to the intrinsic reflection wave length of the optical fiber Bragg grating. The photoelectric detector detects the light intensity of the reflection signals, further the parameters of the current environment where the optical fiber Bragg grating is located are obtained according to the linear relationship between light intensity and the wave length, and detection is finished. The optical fiber sensor and the sensing method based on the linear filter and the photoelectric detector convert wave length detection into light intensity detection, avoid using an expensive optical spectrum instrument to carry out optical fiber sensing, and effectively lower cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to an optical fiber sensor and a sensing method based on a linear filter and a photodetector. Background technique [0002] Fiber Bragg grating is a device that produces periodic refractive index changes in the core layer of an optical fiber to reflect specific light wavelengths (Bragg wavelengths). Since this refractive index distribution is easily changed by stress, temperature, etc., the Bragg wavelength will also change with changes in external environmental parameters. In general, the relative Bragg wavelength shift is linearly related to changes in stress or temperature. Therefore, fiber Bragg gratings can be applied to direct detection of environmental parameters such as stress and temperature. [0003] In a general fiber Bragg grating sensor or sensing system, a spectrometer is usually used to detect the wavelength of the Bragg grating reflection signal, so as to obtai...
