[0024] A comparator is used to compare the gain of the TE-mode beam and the TM-mode beam processed by the processing unit. If there is no gain difference between the TE-mode beam and the TM-mode beam, the comparison result is processed and displayed to obtain the angle adjusted by the second Faraday rotator. If there is a gain difference between the TE-mode beam and the TM-mode beam, the comparison result is processed and displayed, and used as an input signal for the controller to apply a magnetic field control voltage to adjust the angle of the second Faraday rotator until there is no gain difference between the TE-mode beam and the TM-mode beam, thus obtaining the current rotation angle of the second Faraday rotator.
[0025] Optionally, the method for obtaining the gain difference between the TE mode beam and the TM mode beam is as follows:

[0039] The gains of the two orthogonally polarized beams are compared, the comparison results are processed and displayed, and used as input signals for the controller. A magnetic field control voltage is applied to adjust the angle of the first polarized beam. The correspondence between the rotation angle of the second Faraday rotator on the first polarized beam and the magnetic field control voltage is calibrated. When there is no gain difference between the TE mode beam and the TM mode beam, the applied voltage is stopped. The current rotation angle of the second Faraday rotator is obtained, and the current rotation direction of the second Faraday rotator is determined. Based on the rotation angle and direction of the second Faraday rotator, the magnetic field strength to be detected is obtained.
[0040] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0041] This invention utilizes the polarization sensitivity of traveling-wave semiconductor optical amplifiers. Two Faraday rotators are placed between two identical optical amplifiers operating under the same conditions. The combined rotation angle of the two Faraday rotators on the polarized light signal is 90°, ensuring that the TE and TM modes have the same amplification effect after passing through the two identical traveling-wave semiconductor optical amplifiers. Then, by adjusting the polarization controller, the TE and TM modes are completely separated, resulting in TE and TM modes with no gain difference. Through this ingenious design, the second Faraday rotation can be artificially controlled based on whether there is a gain difference between the completely separated TE and TM modes. The magnetic field control voltage of the device is adjusted until there is no gain difference between the output TE mode and TM mode. Finally, the rotation angle of the Faraday rotator with respect to polarized light in the region where the magnetic field is located is obtained, and thus the magnitude of the magnetic field to be measured is obtained.

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0046] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a sensing system for detecting magnetic field strength, comprising: a laser emitting module for emitting a laser signal; a first optical signal conditioning module for adjusting the polarization state of the laser signal and performing a first single-pass amplification, and rotating the laser signal by an angle under the influence of the magnetic field to be detected, outputting first polarized light; a second optical signal conditioning module for adjusting the angle of the first polarized light, performing a second single-pass amplification and polarization state adjustment, and outputting second polarized light; a polarization beam splitting module for splitting the second polarized light into two orthogonally polarized beams; a comparison module for comparing the gain of the two orthogonally polarized beams, processing and displaying the comparison result, and using it as an input signal for a controller to apply a magnetic field control voltage to adjust the angle of the first polarized light to obtain the required angle; and a magnetic field strength module for obtaining the magnetic field strength to be detected according to the required angle.
[0048] Specifically, the light signal emitted by the laser passes through the first optical signal conditioning module, where its polarization state is adjusted and it undergoes corresponding single-pass amplification. Under the influence of the magnetic field to be detected, it rotates by a corresponding angle and outputs first polarized light. The first polarized light enters the second optical signal conditioning module, where its angle is adjusted, and it undergoes corresponding single-pass amplification and polarization state adjustment, outputting second polarized light. The second polarized light passes through a polarization beam splitting module, where it is split into two orthogonally polarized beams. These two orthogonally polarized beams pass through a comparator module, where their gains are compared. The comparison result is processed and displayed, and used as the input signal for the comparator. A magnetic field control voltage is applied to adjust the angle of the first polarized light to obtain the desired angle. The magnetic field strength module then obtains the strength of the magnetic field to be detected based on this desired angle. The entire sensing device is relatively simple, does not involve complex components with intricate processes or structures, and is not subject to foreign technology control. It is low-cost, and the demodulation method is simple. Based on the Faraday effect and the adjustment of the magnetic field control voltage of the Faraday rotator, the magnitude of the magnetic field to be measured can be easily and quickly obtained. Furthermore, by finely adjusting the magnetic field control voltage and the comparator, the rotation angle caused by the magnetic field to be measured can be accurately obtained, thus precisely demodulating the magnitude of the magnetic field.
[0049] Furthermore, the first optical signal conditioning module includes: a first polarization controller for adjusting the polarization state of the laser signal; a first semiconductor optical amplifier for amplifying the polarization-adjusted laser signal in a single pass; and a first Faraday rotator for rotating the amplified laser signal in a single pass under the action of a magnetic field to be detected, and outputting first polarized light.
[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the optical signal emitted by the laser is polarized by a first polarization controller, ensuring that the TE and TM modes of the initial optical signal incident on the first semiconductor optical amplifier are of equal magnitude. After being amplified by the first semiconductor optical amplifier in a single pass, the TE mode is greater than the TM mode. The polarized light emitted from the first semiconductor optical amplifier is then rotated by a Faraday rotator under the influence of the magnetic field to be detected, resulting in the output of the first polarized light. In this embodiment, the first semiconductor optical amplifier is a traveling-wave amplifier.
[0051] Furthermore, the second optical signal conditioning module includes: a second Faraday rotator for adjusting the angle of the first polarized light according to the applied magnetic field control voltage; a focusing lens for incidenting the first polarized light after angle adjustment onto the active region of the second semiconductor optical amplifier; a second semiconductor optical amplifier for single-pass amplification of the incident first polarized light; and a second polarization controller for adjusting the polarization state of the single-pass amplified first polarized light and outputting second polarized light.
[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the magnetic field of the second Faraday rotator is independent of the magnetic field to be measured. By adjusting the magnitude of the magnetic field of the second Faraday rotator through a controller, the polarized light emitted from the first semiconductor optical amplifier is rotated by a certain angle according to the demodulation requirements. The emitted light signal from the second Faraday rotator is then incident on the active region of the second semiconductor optical amplifier through a focusing lens. In this embodiment, the second semiconductor optical amplifier is a traveling wave amplifier. Furthermore, the structural parameters of the first and second semiconductor optical amplifiers are exactly the same, and their operating conditions are also the same, meaning that the single-pass amplification effect for the traveling wave is identical.
[0053] Further, the processing unit is used to detect, amplify, and filter the two orthogonally polarized beams, namely the TE-mode beam and the TM-mode beam, respectively; the comparator is used to compare the gain of the TE-mode beam and the TM-mode beam processed by the processing unit. If there is no gain difference between the TE-mode beam and the TM-mode beam, the comparison result is processed and displayed to obtain the angle adjusted by the second Faraday rotator. If there is a gain difference between the TE-mode beam and the TM-mode beam, the comparison result is processed and displayed, and used as the input signal of the controller to apply a magnetic field control voltage to adjust the angle of the second Faraday rotator until there is no gain difference between the TE-mode beam and the TM-mode beam, and the current rotation angle of the second Faraday rotator is obtained.
[0054] Specifically, after amplification, the light is incident on the polarization beam splitter via the second polarization controller. The polarization beam splitter outputs two orthogonal polarized beams, namely the TE mode beam and the TM mode beam, which are detected, amplified, and filtered respectively. Then, they are input to a comparator. The comparator compares the electrical signals output by the two orthogonal polarized beams (i.e., the TE mode beam and the TM mode beam), processes and displays them, and also serves as the input signal for the controller. Based on the magnitude of the comparison signal, the controller adjusts the magnetic field of the second Faraday rotator to obtain the desired rotation direction and angle.
[0055] Furthermore, the magnetic field strength unit is used to determine the specific value of the rotation angle of the first Faraday rotator under the action of the magnetic field to be detected, according to the required angle, and to obtain the magnetic field strength to be detected based on the specific value.
[0056] Specifically, semiconductor optical amplifiers exhibit strong polarization sensitivity, with a gain difference of nearly 10 dB between the TE and TM modes, degrading their performance and limiting their application in communications. Therefore, structural optimization and usage design are necessary to reduce or eliminate the impact of polarization sensitivity, making them polarization-independent. This polarization sensitivity can be utilized to design related sensors. By designing the semiconductor optical amplifier as a traveling-wave amplifier, a first polarization controller adjusts the polarization state of the optical signal, ensuring that the initial TE and TM modes of the incident optical signal are of equal magnitude. After single-pass amplification by the first semiconductor optical amplifier, the TE mode > the TM mode, with a gain difference ΔG of κ × (Γ). TE -Γ TM )×g×L, where κ is a constant coefficient, L is the active region length of the semiconductor optical amplifier, g is the gain coefficient, and Γ is the confinement factor of the active region optical field.
[0057] The thickness d of the first Faraday rotator is designed based on the maximum possible value of the magnetic field to be measured, ensuring that the rotation angle θ1 = V × H × d in the polarization direction does not exceed 90°. That is, the thickness of the Faraday rotator can be designed according to the range of the magnitude of the magnetic field to be measured; different thicknesses d are suitable for detecting magnetic fields of different magnitudes. The beam emitted from the first semiconductor optical amplifier enters the first Faraday rotator located in the region of the magnetic field to be measured. If there is a magnetic field parallel to the beam's propagation direction in the environment, the polarized light will rotate by an angle not exceeding 90°. After rotation, the beam enters the second Faraday rotator, which is unaffected by the magnetic field to be measured. The controller applies voltage to change the magnetic field of the environment where the second Faraday rotator is located, causing the polarized light to rotate by an angle θ2 when passing through the second Faraday rotator. The angle is 0-90°. Specifically, the required rotation angle is: after the beam passes through the first and second Faraday rotators, the total rotation angle of the polarized light is 90°. The two semiconductor traveling-wave amplifiers produce the same amplification effect for the TE and TM modes. That is, after amplification by the two traveling-wave amplifiers and rotation of the polarized light by the two Faraday rotators, the gains of the TE and TM modes are the same, TE mode = TM mode. If the gains of the TE and TM modes output by the comparator are still different after rotating θ2 by 90°, the controller applies a reverse magnetic field control voltage to the second Faraday rotator, generating an opposite magnetic field that causes θ2 to rotate in the opposite direction. To ensure more precise voltage application to the second Faraday rotator and eliminate errors caused by sudden adjustments, a sawtooth wave voltage is used for the applied magnetic field. Figure 2 As shown.
[0058] The beam emitted from the second Faraday rotator is coupled to the second semiconductor optical amplifier through a focusing lens and amplified again. After amplification, it passes through the second polarization controller and the polarization beam splitter in sequence. The second polarization controller is adjusted so that the polarization beam splitter can completely separate the two orthogonal polarized beams to obtain TE mode and TM mode beams respectively. Then, they are detected, amplified and filtered respectively, and then input to the comparator to compare the magnitudes of the TE mode and TM mode.
[0059] The comparator's output is processed and displayed, and also used as the input signal for the controller. If the comparator's result is TE mode ≠ TM mode, the controller adjusts the magnetic field control voltage of the second Faraday rotator to rotate the polarized light output from the first Faraday rotator by an angle until the comparator output shows TE mode = TM mode. At the same time, the specific value of the controller's magnetic field control voltage, whether it is a positive or negative voltage, and the angle of polarization rotation are all processed accordingly and displayed together with the comparator's output.
[0060] The signal process is as follows: Demodulation preparation: Calibrate the one-to-one correspondence between the rotation angle θ2 of the second Faraday rotator on the polarized light and the magnetic field control voltage U; Demodulation: After separating the orthogonal polarized light, adjust the magnetic field control voltage of the controller according to the result of the comparator output until the comparator output TE mode = TM mode. At this time, stop increasing the applied voltage U. According to the one-to-one correspondence between θ2 and the magnetic field control voltage U, the specific value of θ2 at this time can be obtained, and θ1 = 90° - θ2. Then, according to θ1 = V × H × d, the magnitude of the magnetic field to be measured can be demodulated.
[0061] This embodiment also discloses a signal demodulation method for a sensing system for detecting magnetic field strength, comprising: emitting a laser signal; adjusting the polarization state and performing a first single-pass amplification on the laser signal; rotating the laser signal under the influence of the magnetic field to be detected to output a first polarized light; adjusting the angle of the first polarized light; performing a second single-pass amplification and polarization state adjustment to output a second polarized light; splitting the second polarized light into two orthogonally polarized beams, namely a TE-mode beam and a TM-mode beam; comparing the gain of the two orthogonally polarized beams; processing and displaying the comparison result and using it as an input signal for a controller; applying a magnetic field control voltage to adjust the angle of the first polarized light; calibrating the correspondence between the rotation angle of the second Faraday rotator on the first polarized light and the magnetic field control voltage; stopping the increase of the applied voltage when there is no gain difference between the TE-mode beam and the TM-mode beam; obtaining the current rotation angle of the second Faraday rotator and determining the current rotation direction of the second Faraday rotator; and obtaining the magnetic field strength to be detected based on the rotation angle and direction of the second Faraday rotator.
