[0002] In addition to the traditional advantages such as high precision, corrosion resistance, and anti-interference, the distributed optical fiber sensing technology based on Brillouin scattering can also achieve long-distance continuous measurement of temperature and strain, and has higher measurement accuracy and spatial resolution compared with other types of optical fiber distributed sensing technologies. Therefore, it has become a research hotspot. It has outstanding technical advantages and broad application prospects in application fields such as power equipment monitoring, submarine cable fault point location, and health status monitoring of major infrastructure construction projects.

[0003] Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) and Brillouin power, as two important parameters of optical fiber sensing, both have a linear relationship with the changes in temperature and strain. Using this relationship, the changes in the environment where the sensing optical fiber is located can be estimated. Although relevant experimental measurements and theoretical derivations have accurately given the temperature and strain coefficients of BFS and power, the obtained sensing coefficients are limited to separately considering the temperature or strain changes in the environment where the optical fiber is located, ignoring the temperature and strain cross-sensitivity problem. In order to improve the measurement accuracy, it is necessary to study the changes in the Brillouin sensing coefficients under the simultaneous action of temperature and strain and compensate for them.

[0007] Step 2: When ΔT = 0°C and ε = 0 με in the relationship described in Step 1, obtain the uncompensated and Use the uncompensated Brillouin frequency shift and power temperature strain coefficients and the observed changes in Brillouin frequency shift and power to estimate the temperature and strain of the environment where the sensing optical fiber is located;

[0008] Step 3: Substitute the estimated reference values of the environmental temperature and strain of the sensing optical fiber obtained in Step 2 into the relationship obtained in Step 1 to compensate for the Brillouin frequency shift and the temperature and strain coefficients of power, and obtain the true values of the temperature and strain of the environment where the sensing optical fiber is located.

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0021] The present invention Figure 1 The relationship between the Brillouin frequency shift temperature coefficient and strain shown is carried out according to the following method. In the derivation process, T0 = 20 °C and ε0 = 0 με are involved.

[0022] The Brillouin frequency shift BFS can be expressed as

[0023]

[0024] where n is the refractive index of the optical fiber; V a is the sound velocity in the optical fiber; λ is the wavelength of the incident light; θ is the scattering angle. For ordinary silica optical fibers, the scattered light mainly occurs in the backward direction, so θ = π.

[0025] V a can be expressed as

[0026]

[0027] where E is Young's modulus; μ is Poisson's ratio; ρ is the density of the optical fiber material.

[0028] n, V a , E, μ, ρ are all functions of temperature T and strain ε. Substituting Equation (2) into Equation (1) can further express BFS as

[0029]

[0030] where n(T, ε), E(T, ε), μ(T, ε) and ρ(T, ε) can be expressed as

[0031]

[0032] When the changes in T and ε are small, perform a Taylor expansion of Equation (3) at the points T = T0 and ε = ε0, and obtain

[0033]

[0034] where ΔT = T - T0 is the temperature change amount relative to the reference temperature T0, with the unit of °C; Δε = ε - ε0 is the strain change amount relative to the reference strain ε0, with the unit of με. Equation (5) can be further expressed as

[0035]

[0036] where δv B is the Brillouin frequency shift change amount; is the temperature coefficient of Brillouin frequency shift, with the unit of MHz / ℃; is the strain coefficient of Brillouin frequency shift, with the unit of MHz / με.

[0037] From Equations (5) and (6), we can obtain which is expressed as

[0038]

[0039] where

[0040] Then Equation (7) can be further expressed as

[0041]

[0042] where n T is the temperature coefficient of refractive index; ρ T is the temperature coefficient of density; E T is the temperature coefficient of Young's modulus; μ T is the temperature coefficient of Poisson's ratio.

[0043] When T = T0,

[0044] From Equation (9), to obtain the influence of ε on it is necessary to derive in detail the relationships between n(T0, ε), ρ(T0, ε), E(T0, ε) and μ(T0, ε) and ε. From Equation (4), when T = T0, the relationships between n(T0, ε), ρ(T0, ε), E(T0, ε) and μ(T0, ε) and ε are as follows

[0045]

[0046] where

[0047] Under the premise of the derivation (T = T0), n ε , ρ ε , E ε and μ e in Equation (11) can be expressed as

[0048]

[0049] where

[0050] Substituting Equations (12) and (14) into Equation (13), we can obtain

[0051]

[0052] Substituting Equations (12) and (15) into Equation (11), we can obtain

[0053]

[0054] Substituting Equation (10) and Equation (16) into Equation (9) gives Relationship with Δη

[0055]

[0056] At this time, the BFS is expressed as

[0057] In Equation (17), Δη = ε - ε0, and ε0 = 0με, so Δη = ε. When ε = ε0, Substituting Equation (18) into Equation (17) gives Relationship with ε is as Figure 1 shown. Through fitting calculation, the change trend of under different ε is obtained: From Figure 1 it can be seen that gradually increases with the increase of ε, and when the order of magnitude of strain is 10 5 με, it will cause a large change. The results show that under normal circumstances, ε has little influence on .

[0058] The present invention Figure 2 The relationship diagram of the change of the Brillouin frequency shift variation with the change of the temperature variation shown is obtained from Equation (18), where for every 1°C increase in temperature, the strain increases by 20με. From Figure 2 it can be found that when considering the influence of ε (0 - 1600με) on , the relationship between δv B and ΔT and the relationship between δv and ΔT without considering the influence of ε on B are roughly the same, and the difference between the two δv B varies within the range of approximately 0 - 1MHz. The results show that the compensated also has little influence on δv B . Therefore, when using the Brillouin frequency shift temperature coefficient, there is no need to compensate it according to the actual strain borne by the optical fiber.

[0059] The present invention Figure 3 The relationship between the Brillouin frequency shift strain coefficient and the temperature shown is carried out according to the following method. T0 = 20°C and ε0 = 0με involved in the derivation process.

[0060] can be expressed as

[0061]

[0062] Among them,

[0063] Equation (19) can be expressed as

[0064]

[0065] where n ε is the refractive index strain coefficient; ρ ε is the density strain coefficient; E ε is the Young's modulus strain coefficient; μ ε is the Poisson's ratio strain coefficient.

[0066] In order to obtain the relationship between T and it is necessary to derive in detail and obtain the relationships between n(T, ε0), ρ(T, ε0), E(T, ε0) and μ(T, ε0) and T. When ε = ε0, substituting Equation (10) and Equation (12) into Equation (4) gives

[0067]

[0068] Finally, substituting Equation (15) and Equation (22) into Equation (21) gives the relationship between and ΔT

[0069]

[0070] At this time, BFS is expressed as

[0071] When T = T0, Substituting Equation (24) into Equation (23) can obtain the relationship between and ΔT as Figure 3 shown. Through fitting calculation, the relationship between under different ΔT is obtained: From Figure 3 it can be obtained that gradually increases with the increase of ΔT, and when the order of magnitude of ΔT is 10 5 it will cause a large change in. The results show that the influence of ΔT on is small.

[0072] The present invention Figure 4 The relationship diagram of the change of the Brillouin frequency shift shown with respect to strain is obtained from Equation (24), where for every 20 με increase in strain, the temperature change increases by 1 °C. From Figure 4 it can be found that when considering the influence of ΔT (0 - 80 °C) on the relationship between δv B and ε and when not considering the influence of ΔT on the relationship between δvB The relationship with ε is roughly the same, and the difference between the two δv B varies approximately in the range of 0 - 1 MHz. The results show that after compensation, the influence on δv B is also very small. Therefore, when using the Brillouin frequency shift strain coefficient, there is no need to compensate it according to the actual temperature borne by the optical fiber.

[0073] The present invention Figure 5 The relationship between the Brillouin power temperature coefficient and strain shown is carried out according to the following method. During the derivation process, T0 = 20 °C and ε0 = 0 με are involved.

[0074] According to the Rayleigh scattering power expression, similarly, the expression of the optical fiber Brillouin power can be obtained

[0075] P B = PSα B cW / 2n (25)

[0076] Among them, P is the peak value of the incident pulsed light power; S is the Brillouin scattering backward capture coefficient; α B is the Brillouin scattering loss coefficient; W is the pulse width.

[0077] S and α B can be expressed as

[0078] S = (λ / n) 2 / 4πA eff (26)

[0079]

[0080] Among them, A eff is the effective core area of the optical fiber; K is the Boltzmann constant; T is the absolute temperature.

[0081] n, ρ, V a are all functions of T and ε. Substituting equations (26) and (27) into equation (25), the Brillouin power can be further expressed as

[0082]

[0083] When T and ε change slightly, performing a Taylor expansion of equation (28) at the point of T = T0 and ε = ε0, we get

[0084]

[0085] Equation (29) can be further expressed as

[0086]

[0087] Among them, δPB is the Brillouin power change; is the Brillouin power temperature coefficient, with the unit of % / °C; is the Brillouin power strain coefficient, with the unit of % / με.

[0088] From equations (29) and (30), we can obtain which is expressed as

[0089]

[0090] Substitute the relevant parameters of equations (10) and (16) into equation (31), and we can get the relationship between

[0091]

[0092] At this time, the Brillouin power is expressed as

[0093] In equation (32), Δε = ε - ε0, and ε0 = 0 με, so Δε = ε. When ε = ε0, Substitute equation (33) into equation (32), and we can get the relationship between Figure 5 and ε is as shown in . Through fitting calculation, the change trend of under different ε is obtained: Figure 5 It can be concluded that gradually decreases as ε increases, and when ε changes in the range of (0 - 1600 με) the change range of

[0094] is 0.31 - -0.18 % / °C. Figure 6 The relationship diagram of the change of the Brillouin power change amount shown in the present invention with respect to the change of the temperature change amount is obtained from equation (33), where for every 1 °C increase in temperature, the strain increases by 20 με. From Figure 6 it can be found that when considering the influence of ε on the relationship between δP B and ΔT and when not considering the influence of ε on the relationship between δP B and ΔT differ greatly, and the difference between the two δP B varies in the range of approximately 0 - -40 %. The results show that the compensated also has a great influence on δP B . Therefore, when using the Brillouin power temperature coefficient, it is necessary to compensate it according to the actual strain borne by the optical fiber.

[0095] The present invention Figure 7The relationship between the Brillouin power strain coefficient and temperature shown is carried out as follows. During the derivation process, T0 = 20°C and ε0 = 0 με are involved.

[0096] It can be expressed as

[0097]

[0098] Substitute the relevant parameters of Equation (15) and Equation (22) into Equation (34), and we can get And the relationship with ΔT

[0099]

[0100] At this time, the Brillouin power is expressed as

[0101] When T = T0, Substitute Equation (36) into Equation (35), and we can get And the relationship with ΔT is as Figure 7 Shown. Through fitting calculation, the change trend of under different ΔT: From Figure 7 It can be obtained that Gradually decreases with the increase of ΔT, and ΔT will cause A large change in.

[0102] The present invention Figure 8 The relationship diagram of the change of the Brillouin power variation with strain shown is obtained from Equation (36), where for every 20 με increase in strain, the temperature change increases by 1°C. From Figure 8 It can be found that when considering the influence of ΔT (0 - 80°C) on The relationship between δP B And ε and when not considering the influence of T on The relationship between δP B And ε is significantly different, and the difference between the two δP B Varies within the range of approximately 0 - -40%. The results show that the compensated Has a great influence on δP B Therefore, when using the Brillouin power strain coefficient, it needs to be compensated according to the actual temperature borne by the optical fiber.

[0103] In practical applications, changes in T or ε usually cause simultaneous changes in BFS and Brillouin power, resulting in the cross-sensitivity problem of T and ε in the Brillouin optical fiber sensing system. The changes in BFS and Brillouin power due to ε and T are represented by the matrix equation

[0104]

[0105] It can be seen from Equation (37) that the estimation of T and ε requires the use of the sensing coefficients of BFS and Brillouin power. When Δε and ΔT can be determined conversely through the matrix equation. The Δε r and ΔT r solved by using Equation (38) are regarded as the measured reference values.

[0106]

[0107] Among them, Δε r and ΔT r respectively represent the strain and temperature reference values of the estimated environment where the sensing optical fiber is located, δv B is the change in Brillouin frequency shift, and δP B is the change in Brillouin power.

[0108] The compensated and The Δε t and ΔT t solved by using Equation (39) are regarded as the measured true values.

[0109]

[0110] Among them, Δε t and ΔT t respectively represent the strain and temperature true values of the estimated environment where the sensing optical fiber is located.

[0111] Therefore, when measuring T and ε simultaneously, Δε t -Δε r is the strain error generated by the two measurement methods, and ΔT t -ΔT r is the temperature error generated by the two measurement methods, which can be respectively expressed as

[0112]

[0113] In order to more intuitively observe the influence of the compensated Brillouin sensing coefficient on the measurement of ΔT and Δε, four groups of data of δv B = 10, δP B = 0.1, δv B = 20, δP B = 0.2, δv B = 30, δP B = 0.3, δv B = 40, δP B = 0.4 are given for quantitative description. The Δε r and ΔT rSubstitute into Equations (17), (23), (32), and (35) to obtain the compensated Brillouin coefficient, and then use Equation (41) to obtain Δε t and ΔT t . The Δε t and ΔT t obtained by using the compensated Brillouin coefficient and the Δε r and ΔT r obtained by using the uncompensated Brillouin coefficient have an obvious gap. The reason for this gap is that the strain affects the temperature coefficient, and the temperature coefficient is in dynamic change different from the previous constant; the strain coefficient also changes with the change of temperature.

[0114] The present invention Figure 9 The temperature difference E obtained when simultaneously measuring temperature and strain by using the uncompensated and compensated Brillouin sensing coefficients shown ΔT The relationship diagram of the change with ε is obtained by fitting the results of the above 4 groups of data. From Figure 9 it can be seen that as the ε of the environment where the optical fiber is located increases, E ΔT also becomes larger and larger, which indicates that the ΔT t measured by using the compensated Brillouin coefficient is r larger than the ΔT measured by using the uncompensated Brillouin coefficient.

[0115] The present invention Figure 10 The relationship diagram of the change of the strain difference E obtained when simultaneously measuring temperature and strain by using the uncompensated and compensated Brillouin sensing coefficients shown Δε with ΔT is obtained by fitting the results of the above 4 groups of data. From Figure 9 it can be seen that the Δε t measured by using the compensated Brillouin coefficient is r smaller than the Δε measured by using the uncompensated Brillouin coefficient, and as the ΔT of the environment where the optical fiber is located increases, E Δε also becomes larger and larger.

[0116] The compensation method for the Brillouin frequency shift and the power temperature strain coefficient described in the present invention can improve the sensing accuracy when simultaneously measuring temperature and strain, and is of great significance to the distributed sensing technology based on Brillouin scattering.

[0117] The above is only one implementation manner of the present invention, not all or the only implementation manner. Any equivalent transformation of the technical solution of the present invention adopted by those of ordinary skill in the art by reading the specification of the present invention is covered by the claims of the present invention.
