Problems solved by technology

However, on the one hand, the high-frequency component itself will affect the phase detection of the cosine wave (the position of the zero-crossing point changes); The electrical characteristics are equivalent to capacitance, and the voltage at both ends cannot jump, so the falling edge of the sawtooth wave cannot be infinitely short) and the elasticity of the optical fiber itself and many other factors, the frequency is variable, and it is difficult to filter out cleanly; and , when using a filter, in addition to affecting the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the output signal, it will also affect the phase-frequency characteristics of the signal at the same time, that is, the phase of the filter will be affected near the cut-off frequency, which is very important for relying on phase changes. It is very unfavorable for fiber optic sensors that measure changes in physical quantities such as stress or temperature

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber sensors, in particular to a high-precision optical fiber sensor based on a Mach-Zehnder interference structure. Background technique [0002] Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is widely used in the field of sensing technology due to its advantages of anti-electromagnetic interference, chemical resistance, small transmission loss, small size and light weight, and easy mass production. Especially in micro-stress detection, temperature detection in harsh environments, etc., fiber optic sensors have unique advantages. On the one hand, very small changes in temperature or stress can be detected sensitively by fiber Bragg gratings, with high sensitivity. On the one hand, in harsh environments such as humidity and strong electromagnetic interference, the fiber Bragg grating is not easy to damage, the working performance is not affected, and the signal transmission is not disturbed. These advantages make B...
