Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of FBG sensor demodulation, and in particular to a demodulation method of a quasi-distributed FBG sensor based on a novel edge filter. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have been widely used in fields such as temperature, strain, and humidity sensing, chemical gas measurement, trace element detection, and structural health monitoring. Compared with traditional electronic sensors, FBG sensors have advantages such as small size, light weight, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and ease of forming distributed sensor networks. Most reported FBG sensor analysis techniques use optical spectrum analyzers (OSAs) to extract characteristic wavelengths or bandwidths representing external physical quantities. OSAs have high measurement accuracy, but due to limited resolution, large size, and high cost, they face significant challenges in engineering applications. Therefore, the development of a new, low-cost FBG sensor demodulation scheme is crucial.

[0003] Several demodulation methods for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have been widely proposed. These methods are typically based on fiber Sagnac loops, self-phase modulation, microwave photons, and wavelength-swept tunable lasers. The sensitivity and accuracy of these demodulation methods often rely on other optoelectronic components in the system, such as erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) and electro-optical intensity modulators (EOMs), which inevitably introduce unwanted system noise. Furthermore, complex system designs can increase costs. Consequently, these demodulation schemes may be incompatible across different FBG sensor networks, presenting limitations in engineering applications. Therefore, developing a low-dependence, low-noise, and low-cost FBG sensor demodulation method and system has become an urgent challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to address the aforementioned challenges of FBG demodulation technology by proposing a demodulation method for quasi-distributed FBG sensors based on a novel edge filter. Here, we propose a novel edge filter consisting of a cascaded dispersion-compensating fiber (DCF) and a coreless fiber (NCF) structure between two single-mode fibers (SMFs). This filter utilizes its linear filtering properties to convert the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) wavelength signal into an optical power signal, which is then demodulated by measuring the optical power offset. By varying the structural parameters of the edge filter, it can accommodate fiber Bragg gratings with varying central wavelengths, enabling wide-range FBG demodulation. This edge filter is used as the foundation for a FBG array demodulation system, enabling rapid, low-noise, high-sensitivity, high-stability, and low-cost FBG demodulation.

[0008] The fiber coupler includes three ports, P1, P2, and P3. The P1 end is connected to the output end of the pulse laser, and the P2 and P3 ends are respectively connected to the input end of the photodetector and the input end of the fiber front-end connector; the output end of the fiber connector is connected to the first end of the single-mode fiber No. 1, the input end and the output end of the edge filter are respectively connected to the tail end of the single-mode fiber No. 1 and the first section of the single-mode fiber No. 2, and the first section and the tail end of the fiber Bragg grating No. 1 are respectively connected to the tail end of the single-mode fiber No. 2 and the first section of the fiber Bragg grating No. 2; the input and output ends of the voltage amplifier are respectively connected to the output end of the photodetector and the input end of the A / D converter, and the output end of the A / D converter is connected to the input end of the data collector.

The setting of the 10 ns pulse width is to improve the spatial resolution of the demodulation point. The narrower the pulse width, the better the spatial resolution.

[0010] Preferably, the optical fiber coupler has a splitting ratio of 1:1, the lengths of single-mode optical fiber No. 1 and single-mode optical fiber No. 2 are both 1000m, and the attenuation coefficient is 0.18dB / km, which ensures balanced splitting and better data processing of the electrical signal after photoelectric conversion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Dispersion-compensating fiber (DCF) is a new type of fiber with large negative dispersion. It is designed for existing G652 standard single-mode fiber systems using WDM / EDFA technology. Because the dispersion of G652 standard fiber at a wavelength of 1.55μm is not zero, but positive (17-20) ps / (nm·km), and has a positive dispersion slope, it is necessary to connect these fibers with dispersion-compensating fibers with negative dispersion to compensate for the dispersion. This ensures that the total dispersion of the entire fiber line is close to zero, thus enabling high-speed, high-capacity, and long-distance communications.

[0024] The explanation of "single-mode fiber" in academic literature: Generally, when v is less than 2.405, there is only one wave crest passing through the optical fiber, so it is called single-mode fiber. Its core is very thin, about 8 to 10 microns, and the mode dispersion is very small. The main factors affecting the width of the optical fiber transmission band are various dispersions, and mode dispersion is the most important. The dispersion of single-mode fiber is small, so it can transmit light over a long distance with a very wide frequency band.

[0025] Single-mode fiber has a core diameter of 10 microns, allowing for single-mode beam transmission and eliminating bandwidth and modal dispersion limitations. However, due to the small core diameter of single-mode fiber, beam transmission is difficult to control, requiring extremely expensive lasers as light sources. The main limitation of single-mode optical cables is material dispersion. Single-mode optical cables primarily utilize lasers to achieve high bandwidths. Since LEDs emit a large number of light sources with different bandwidths, material dispersion requirements are very important.

[0026] Compared to multimode fiber, single-mode fiber has a much thinner core diameter, only 8 to 10 μm. Because it transmits only a single mode, there is no intermodal dispersion, resulting in low total dispersion and a wide bandwidth. Single-mode fiber operates in the 1.3 to 1.6 μm wavelength range. By properly designing the fiber's refractive index profile and selecting a cladding material with a purity seven times greater than the core, single-mode fiber achieves both minimal loss and minimal dispersion in this wavelength range.

[0027] Single-mode optical fiber is used in long-distance, high-capacity optical fiber communication systems, optical fiber local area networks and various optical fiber sensors.

[0028] This embodiment provides a demodulation method for a quasi-distributed FBG sensor based on a novel edge filter, comprising a pulse laser 1, a fiber coupler 2, a fiber connector 3, a single-mode fiber No. 1 4, an edge filter 5, a single-mode fiber No. 2 6, a fiber Bragg grating No. 1 7, a fiber Bragg grating No. 2 8, a photodetector 9, a voltage amplifier 10, an A / D converter 11, and a data collector 12, wherein:

The 10 mW power is relatively large in the light source and is used to compensate for the loss of the pulse light during the transmission process of the entire system. The 10 ns pulse width is set to improve the spatial resolution of the demodulation point. The narrower the pulse width, the better the spatial resolution.

[0040] Measuring principle of the present invention

[0041] The transfer function of the proposed edge filter in the linear region can be expressed as:

[0042] P out =(C1λ i +C2)P in (1)

[0043] where λ i is the wavelength of the light injected into SDNS. out represents the output light intensity of the edge filter; C1 and C2 are the slope windows of the SDNS spectrum, corresponding to the descending slope area and the ascending slope area, respectively. in Represents the power of the input light. The FBG reflection center wavelength can be expressed as:

[0044] λ B =2n eff Λ (2)

[0045] where λ Bis the FBG reflection wavelength, n eff is the effective refractive index of the optical fiber core, and Λ is the refractive index modulation period.

[0046] The change of FBG center wavelength caused by external interference such as temperature and strain can be expressed as:

[0047] Δλ=(1-p e )ε+(α Λ +α n )ΔT (3)

[0048] Where Δλ is the wavelength change caused by external disturbance; ε and ΔT are strain and temperature changes respectively. e is the effective strain optical constant; α Λ and α n are the thermal expansion coefficient and thermo-optical coefficient of the optical fiber, respectively.

[0049] Combining equations (1) and (3), we can obtain the following equation:

[0050] ΔP=P in [C1(1-p e )ε+C1(α Λ +α n )ΔT] (4)

[0051] As can be seen from the above formula, the reflected light power detected by the OTDR will change linearly with the temperature and strain applied to the FBG. Therefore, changes in the FBG due to temperature and strain can be detected by detecting changes in the reflected light power, rather than detecting changes in the demodulation wavelength.

[0052] The transfer characteristics of the proposed edge filter can be expressed as:

[0053]

[0054] Where, I co and are the light intensities of the fundamental mode and the m-order cladding mode, L is the effective interference length (the sum of the DCF and NCF lengths), λ is the wavelength of the incident light, and Δ neff is the effective refractive index difference between the core mode and the m-order cladding mode.
