Abstract

The invention discloses a photoelectric composite cable for a distributed optical fiber hydrophone system. The photoelectric composite cable includes a rigid inner support layer, a polymer flexible material layer, an elastic layer, an ointment layer and an outer sheath from the inside to the outside. At least one optical fiber is tightly helically wound on the outer wall of the layer, different optical fibers do not overlap, and the outer surface of the optical fiber is tightly wrapped with the ointment layer. In the present invention, the photoelectric composite cable does not use complex and hard metal armor, steel wire stranding or tape wrapping, but only uses a softer outer sheath for corrosion resistance, so that the energy loss of the sound wave is relatively low when it is transmitted into the optical fiber. The cladding uses polymer flexible materials and elastic layers, so that the optical cable can resist stretching and at the same time enhance the detection sensitivity of external sound waves. The optical fiber is helically wound on the elastic layer, so that the accumulated optical path difference change per unit measurement length increases, and the deformation of the flexible material will drive the optical fiber to deform, so that the overall sound pressure sensitivity of the optical cable is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of hydrophones and novel optical fiber cables, and in particular relates to a photoelectric composite cable suitable for a distributed hydrophone detection system. Background technique [0002] As an important tool for sensing ocean information, hydrophones have important and extensive applications in the fields of military, national defense, people's livelihood and scientific research. The existing relatively mature hydrophones mainly rely on three technologies, namely electronic detector technology, fiber optic interferometer technology and fiber laser technology. However, these three technologies all have problems such as high cost, unstable sensitivity, and many blind spots in the spatial measurement area. To solve these problems, fiber optic distributed hydrophone based on fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology is proposed as a revolutionary technology. However, although the existing DAS syst...
