Problems solved by technology

The functional type has both "transmission" and "sensing" functions, but requires special optical fibers and advanced detection technology, so the cost is high and the structure is complicated
The non-functional type is mostly used in occasions with low sensitivity because the optical fiber is only used to transmit signals and has low sensitivity.

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of high-precision optical fiber pressure sensing, in particular to an optical fiber pressure sensing measurement method and device. The optical fiber pressure sensing measurement method and device solve the technical problems in the prior art and are simple in structure and high in measurement accuracy. When outside pressure is applied to an optical fiber serving as a detector, the optical path for optical pulses to transmit in the optical fiber changes, the change of the optical path is measured in real time through an autocorrelator, and therefore the pressure applied to the optical fiber can be obtained. According to the method and device, laser beams are output through a pulse laser; the beams output from the laser are divided into two paths of optical signals after passing through a filter, a circulator and a coupler, one path of optical signals are measurement path optical signals, the other path of optical signals are reference path optical signals, and an outside pressure value is obtained according to the formula in the specification by measuring whether outside pressure exists or not and measuring the interval delta T and T of the autocorrelator.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-precision optical fiber pressure sensing, in particular to an optical fiber pressure sensing measurement method and device. Background technique [0002] Optical fiber sensing technology began to enter the research field in the 1970s, and developed rapidly along with the development of optical fiber and optical fiber communication technology. It uses light as the carrier and optical fiber as the medium to perceive and transmit external signals. sense technology. Because fiber optic sensors have incomparable advantages of traditional sensors, such as good stability, high reliability, small size, light weight, fast response, high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, free from electromagnetic field interference, simple structure and low cost, etc., It has become a technology that has developed rapidly in recent decades. [0003] Since G.B. Hocker proposed the application of single-mode optical fiber in pr...
