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. Unfavorable for fiber optic sensors that measure temperature changes

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber sensors, in particular to a temperature 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. At present, temperature sensors play an important role in safe production, especially in high-risk places such as mines, where temperature monitoring is crucial. However, most of the traditional temperature sensors are realized by the change of electrical signal, and the temperature sensor based on the change of electrical signal is greatly limited in practical application. Additional safety hazards, on the other hand, when used in harsh environments, they are greatly disturbed by the environment and the transmission is inconvenient. ...
