Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of acoustic measurement and testing, and in particular relates to a device and method for measuring the sensitivity of an optical fiber hydrophone based on reciprocity fringes. Background Art

[0002] Compared to traditional piezoelectric hydrophones, fiber-optic hydrophones offer numerous advantages, including immunity to electromagnetic interference, electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, high safety, high sensitivity, wide frequency response, compact size, light weight, ease of reuse, and ease of forming large-scale arrays. Consequently, their application in defense has become increasingly widespread, and they have become a key development direction for modern sonar. In 1976, after Bucaro et al. at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory published the world's first paper on fiber-optic hydrophones, countries in Europe and the United States invested significant human, material, and financial resources in research and testing of fiber-optic hydrophones and arrays. Research and development of fiber-optic hydrophones in China started relatively late, with the first domestic sea trials of fiber-optic hydrophone arrays conducted in August 2002.

[0003] Interferometric fiber-optic hydrophones generally refer to interferometric fiber-optic hydrophone probes. Their principle is to convert sound pressure in water into optical phase changes. The ability of a fiber-optic hydrophone to detect optical phase changes, known as phase sensitivity, is a key indicator of the acoustic performance of a fiber-optic hydrophone probe. Currently, methods for calibrating the phase sensitivity of interferometric fiber-optic hydrophones include the Bessel function ratio method, phase-generated carrier (PGC) modulation and demodulation, and interference fringe counting. The Bessel function ratio method uses the ratio of the high-frequency components of the interferometric light intensity to determine the phase shift of the interferometric light intensity. Combined with the sound pressure measured by a standard hydrophone, the phase sensitivity of the interferometric fiber-optic hydrophone is obtained. This method offers advantages such as a simple optical system and easy operation. However, the Bessel function ratio is multi-valued, requiring a pre-determined signal interval within which the optical phase shift occurs. Furthermore, it cannot obtain the time-domain waveform of the acoustic wave. The PGC modulation and demodulation method uses high-frequency signal modulation and demodulation to determine the phase shift of an interferometric fiber optic hydrophone. This method can avoid interference from low-frequency external vibration signals, but its optical system is complex, requires multiple devices, and is expensive. It also cannot demodulate large acoustic wave signals. The interference fringe counting method uses the relationship between the time-domain image of the interference light intensity and the carrier modulation intensity to determine the phase shift of the interference light intensity. The phase shift sensitivity of the fiber optic hydrophone is then calculated using the sound pressure measured by a standard hydrophone.

[0004] In summary, current interferometric fiber optic hydrophone calibration methods rely on comparison methods, which cannot achieve accurate sensitivity measurements. This invention organically utilizes the principle of acoustic field reciprocity and the principle of fiber optic hydrophone interference fringes, overcoming the technical difficulties of absolute measurement using fiber optic hydrophones. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above, the present invention provides a fiber optic hydrophone sensitivity measurement device and method based on the reciprocity fringe method, which can achieve absolute measurement of the phase shift sensitivity of the fiber optic hydrophone and improve the measurement precision and accuracy of the phase shift sensitivity of the fiber optic hydrophone.

Adjust the transmitting current of the auxiliary transducer so that the interference fringes of the fiber optic hydrophone interference signal are nπ, where n is an integer greater than 0. Record the amplitude I1 of the transmitting current at this time.

[0016] Step 3: Remove the auxiliary transducer and place the reciprocal transducer in water at a distance d2 from the fiber optic hydrophone. Similarly, adjust the transmitting current of the reciprocal transducer so that the interference fringes of the fiber optic hydrophone interference signal are mπ, where m is an integer greater than 0.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to its preferred embodiments, these embodiments are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0032] Combined with attachment Figure 1As shown, a fiber optic hydrophone sensitivity measurement device based on the reciprocal fringe method includes: an auxiliary transducer 4 for converting an electrical signal into an acoustic signal and radiating an acoustic wave in water; a reciprocal transducer 8 for converting electrical signals and acoustic signals to each other, radiating an acoustic wave in water, or receiving an acoustic wave in water and converting the received acoustic wave into an electrical signal U1; a signal transmitter 1 for generating a single-frequency pulse signal with functions such as adjusting the signal frequency, amplitude, and pulse width; a power amplifier 2 for amplifying the power of the single-frequency pulse signal and loading it on both ends of the auxiliary transducer 4 or the reciprocal transducer 8. end; a current sampler 3 for sampling the single-frequency pulse signal after power amplification to generate a corresponding electrical signal U2, which represents the emission current signal of the auxiliary transducer 4 or the reciprocal transducer 8; a laser 9 for generating an optical signal; a photoelectric converter 6, one end of which is provided with a fiber optic hydrophone 5, and the photoelectric converter 6 is used to convert the interference light signal of the fiber optic hydrophone 5 into an electrical signal U3; a multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 for sampling the electrical signals U1, U2, and U3, and processing the signals to obtain the phase shift sensitivity of the fiber optic hydrophone 5;

[0033] The output end of the signal transmitter 1 is connected to the output end of the power amplifier 2, the positive pole of the output end of the power amplifier 2 is connected to the positive pole of the auxiliary transducer 4 through the current sampler 3, the negative pole of the output end of the power amplifier 2 is directly connected to the negative pole of the auxiliary transducer 4, the output end of the current sampler 3 is connected to the input end B of the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7, and the positive and negative poles of the reciprocal transducer 8 are connected to the input end A of the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 through a coaxial cable.

[0034] Specifically, the non-reciprocity of the reciprocal transducer 8 is within 0.3 dB.

[0035] Specifically, the power amplifier 2 has an impedance matching function, and its power amplification of the electrical signal is linear amplification.

[0036] Specifically, the sampling frequency of the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 is more than 100 times the frequency of the acoustic signal.

[0037] Specifically, the fiber optic hydrophone 5 adopts an interference fiber optic hydrophone probe.

[0038] A method for measuring the sensitivity of a fiber optic hydrophone based on the reciprocal fringe method described above is provided. The fiber optic hydrophone sensitivity measurement device measures the phase shift sensitivity of the fiber optic hydrophone by measuring three stages: the emission current of the auxiliary transducer 4 and the open-circuit voltage of the reciprocal transducer 8; the emission current of the auxiliary transducer 4 and the optical phase shift of the fiber optic hydrophone 5; and the emission current of the reciprocal transducer 8 and the optical phase shift of the fiber optic hydrophone 5. The method is specifically implemented as follows:

[0039] Step 1: Place the auxiliary transducer 4 and the reciprocal transducer 8 in the water, with a distance d1 between them, sufficient for both to be in each other's far field. Set up the signal transmitter 1 to generate a sinusoidal pulse signal with a frequency of f. After amplification by the power amplifier 2, it acts on the fiber optic hydrophone 5, causing the fiber optic hydrophone 5 to generate an acoustic wave signal in the water. Under the action of the acoustic wave, the reciprocal transducer 8 generates an electrical signal U1 due to the piezoelectric effect. The multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 converts U1 into a digital signal through AD, and calculates the amplitude U of the electrical signal U1 through Fourier transform. FH At the same time, the transmitting current U2 of the auxiliary transducer 4 measured by the current sampler 3 is converted into a digital signal by the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7, and its amplitude I1 is calculated by Fourier transform.

[0040] Step 2: Take the reciprocal transducer 8 out of the water, and place the fiber optic hydrophone 5 at the position where the reciprocal transducer 8 was taken out, connect the optical output end of the fiber optic hydrophone 5 to the input end of the photoelectric converter 6, connect the output signal of the photoelectric converter 6 to the input end A of the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7, and connect the laser 9 to the optical input end of the fiber optic hydrophone 5. Similarly, set the signal transmitter 1 to generate a sinusoidal pulse signal with a frequency of f, which generates an acoustic wave signal after power amplification. The acoustic wave acts on the fiber optic hydrophone 5 to change the length of the optical fiber, thereby causing the phase shift of the optical interference signal to change. The interference signal of the fiber optic hydrophone 5 is observed through the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7. When there is only an extreme peak between the non-maximum peaks and troughs in the fringes of the interference signal, the interference signal is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the phase shift at this time is π, and the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 is used to collect the emission current signal U2 of the auxiliary transducer 4 at this time and calculate its amplitude I π1 , adjust the amplitude of the sinusoidal pulse signal through the signal transmitter 1, and observe the interference signal of the optical fiber hydrophone 5 through the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 until the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 appears Figure 3 The interference fringes shown in FIG. 3 indicate that the optical phase shift is 3π at this time. The multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 collects the emission current signal U2 of the auxiliary transducer 4 at this time and calculates its amplitude I1. If the value of d1 is less than 0.3dB, it indicates that the test is valid and the measurement in step 3 can be performed. Otherwise, change d1 and repeat the measurement in steps 1 and 2.

[0041] Step 3: Take out the auxiliary transducer 4, connect the negative pole of the reciprocal transducer 8 to the negative pole of the power amplifier 2, and connect the positive pole of the reciprocal transducer 8 to the current sampler 3. Place the reciprocal transducer 8 in water, and the distance between the reciprocal transducer 8 and the fiber optic hydrophone 5 is d2. Set the signal transmitter 1 to generate a sinusoidal pulse signal with a frequency of f, and after power amplification, the auxiliary transducer 4 generates an acoustic wave signal. Adjust the amplitude of the sinusoidal pulse signal, and observe the interference signal of the fiber optic hydrophone 5 through the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 until the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 appears. Figure 2 The interference signal shown in , then the phase shift at this time is π, the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 is used to collect the emission current signal U2 of the reciprocal transducer 8 at this time and calculate its amplitude I π2 , adjust the amplitude of the sinusoidal pulse signal through the signal transmitter 1, and observe the interference signal of the optical fiber hydrophone 5 through the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 until the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 appears Figure 3 The interference fringes shown,

[0042] That is, the optical phase shift at this time is 3π, and the current signal U2 generated by the reciprocal transducer 8 at this time is collected by the multi-channel signal acquisition processor 7 and its amplitude I2 is calculated. If the value is less than 0.3dB, the sensitivity M of the fiber optic hydrophone can be calculated. Φ for:

[0043]

[0044] Specifically, during the entire measurement process, the fiber optic hydrophone showed no nonlinearity, which was verified by the following method:

[0045] During the measurement process of step 2, when the measured phase shift is π, the emission current amplitude of the auxiliary transducer 4 is I π1 ,like When , it indicates that the optical fiber hydrophone 5 is in a linear state; in the measurement process of step 3, when the measured phase shift is π, the emission current amplitude of the auxiliary transducer 4 is I π2 ,like , it indicates that the optical fiber hydrophone 5 is in a linear state.

[0046] Specifically, the method for measuring the interference fringes of the interference signal of the optical fiber hydrophone 5 is as follows: the amplitudes of adjacent non-maximum peaks and troughs are set to be equal, and the number of maximum peaks between the two is n1, then the phase shift of the interference signal at this time is n1π.

[0047] Specifically, the auxiliary transducer 4 and the reciprocal transducer 8 are both within the linear operating range during the entire measurement process, and the total harmonic distortion thereof is no greater than 3%.
