Abstract

The invention discloses a cladded optical fiber grating vibration sensor. A semiconductor laser is connected with an optical fiber circulator by single-mode optical fibers; the optical fiber circulator is connected with an optical fiber grating sensor and an optical fiber wavelength division multiplexer by the single-mode optical fibers; the optical fiber wavelength division multiplexer is connected with a cladded grating photoelectric detector and a fiber core grating photoelectric detector by the single-mode optical fibers; the cladded grating photoelectric detector and the fiber core grating photoelectric detector are connected with an oscilloscope by coaxial cables; a fiber core gratings is written on thin-core optical fibers; cladded gratings are written on optical fiber claddings. During shock detection of a building, laser emitted by the semiconductor laser is transmitted to the fiber core gratings and the cladded gratings through the optical fiber circulator, vibration of a to-be-detected vibrating body leads to changes of cladding energy distribution reflected by the cladded gratings and changes the energy which enters the single-mode optical fibers in a coupled manner, so that information of vibration direction is obtained, structural deformation of civil engineering such as bridges, tunnels and dams can be detected in real time, and interior structure of earth and earthquake wave propagation characteristics can be researched in order to predict impending earthquake.
