Abstract

The invention discloses a single-mode heterogeneous optical fiber cascaded strain array sensor, the main feature of which is: the strain array sensor is composed of a single-mode optical fiber 1, a double-clad optical fiber 2 and other parts to form a heterogeneous structure reflection surface, integrated in A strain array sensor on an optical fiber. The strain array sensor provided by the present invention can realize the measurement of factors such as the ambient temperature and stress of the optical fiber strain array sensor, and is especially suitable for high temperature conditions due to the inherent characteristics of the present invention. In addition, it also has the advantages of high sensitivity, compact structure, high temperature resistance, low cost, and a large number of multiplexed sensors.

Description

[0001] (1) Technical field [0002] The invention belongs to the field of optical fiber technology, and in particular relates to a strain array sensor with cascaded single-mode heterogeneous optical fibers. [0003] (2) Background technology [0004] In recent years, white light interferometric sensing technology has developed vigorously. One of the hot spots is the development of optical fiber sensors and test systems with multiple sensor multiplexing technologies for the measurement of physical quantities such as strain, temperature, and pressure. The background of the development of sensor multiplexing technology is mainly due to the fact that in actual measurement and testing applications, the sensing of a single physical quantity and a single location point is far from meeting people's requirements for the perception of the whole thing or system state, which often requires multiple or The distribution of multi-point physical quantities is measured online or in real time. ...
