Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical fiber grating technology, and in particular to a reflectivity measurement device and method for a weak reflectivity optical fiber grating array. Background Art
[0002] As an optical passive device, Bragg grating is equivalent to a narrowband reflector embedded in an optical fiber. It is widely used in the field of optical fiber sensing due to its small size and no need for fusion splicing. As a new generation of technology, Bragg grating array sensing uses the online writing of fiber gratings by a drawing tower and uses a hybrid multiplexing method of wavelength division and time division to demodulate massive sensor signals. It combines the advantages of "discrete fiber grating sensing" and "distributed fiber sensing" and is an ideal choice for building a large-capacity, high-precision, high-density, long-distance, and high-reliability optical fiber sensing network.
[0003] At present, although the online preparation technology of grating array optical fiber has broken the limitations of multiplexing capacity and mechanical strength in traditional processes, in order to pursue a larger measurement range and higher accuracy, it is inevitable to build a longer sensor network with a larger multiplexing capacity. Among the many technologies for building sensor networks, wavelength division multiplexing, time division multiplexing, and frequency division multiplexing are more commonly used. However, for a typical distributed sensor network composed of fiber gratings, the spectral shadows and multiple reflection crosstalk between gratings seriously weaken its multiplexing capability.
[0004] To solve this problem, weak-reflectivity fiber Bragg gratings came into being. By reducing the reflectivity, they reduce the crosstalk of multiple reflections and enhance the multiplexing capability of the fiber optic sensing system. However, in a weak-reflection fiber Bragg grating array, the light reflectivity of a single fiber Bragg grating needs to be controlled at about one thousandth, and the reflected light power is at a lower order of magnitude, which makes it difficult to accurately measure its light reflectivity. Moreover, the difference in reflectivity of each grating in the array will reduce the overall multiplexed array signal pickup and demodulation effect. In the grating engraving process of large-scale fiber Bragg grating multiplexing arrays, it is extremely critical to accurately monitor and ensure the consistency of the reflectivity of each grating.
[0005] Through searching patent documents, it was found that the invention patent with publication number CN104833381B discloses a large-capacity weak-reflection grating sensing device and method based on single-photon technology, wherein the device includes a broadband light source, an optical isolator, an acousto-optic modulator, an optical attenuator, an optical circulator, N sequentially connected weak-reflection fiber grating arrays, an edge filter, a single-photon detector, a data processing module and a control module; the weak-reflection fiber grating array includes a number of gratings with different spacings; wherein N is an integer and N>1. This patent cannot achieve a relatively accurate measurement of the reflectivity of the fiber grating in the weak-reflectivity fiber grating array, nor can it accurately determine the consistency of the reflectivity between the fiber gratings.
[0006] In summary, in view of the above problems of the prior art, researching a reflectivity measurement device and method for a weak reflectivity fiber grating array has become a key task that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

After that, the light pulse signal is processed by reflection and transmission, and finally the reflected light pulse signal is converted and collected and displayed by the signal collector 10.

The signal collector 10 collects the pulse electrical signal obtained by converting the optical signal reflected by the first fiber grating 301 through the photoelectric converter 9. The high level amplitude of the pulse electrical signal is V1. The high level amplitude of the subsequently engraved nth fiber grating 302 collected at the signal collector 10 is V n , the reflectivity calculation formula of the nth fiber grating 302 subsequently engraved is:
[0086]
[0087] Wherein, R1 is the reflectivity of the first fiber grating, n is an integer and n≥2.
[0088] The reflectivity measurement method of a weak reflectivity fiber grating array of this embodiment has the following advantages: the measurement method is relatively simple to operate and the measurement result is relatively accurate. At the same time, during the process of engraving the fiber grating array, the reflectivity of the engraved fiber grating can be monitored and intervened in real time, which not only greatly improves the success rate of preparing the weak reflectivity fiber grating array, but also creates favorable conditions for improving the multiplexing capacity of large-scale fiber grating arrays.
