Obviously, the following drawings are only some embodiments of the present invention, and those of ordinary skill in the art can also obtain other embodiments based on these drawings without creative efforts.

[0022] Figure 4It is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed implementation manners

[0023] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although some embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to more thoroughly and completely understand the present invention. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present invention are only for exemplary purposes and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] The FBG sensing technology mainly relies on uniformly etched fiber Bragg gratings. Although it can achieve basic signal detection, when detecting weak vibration events, the sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio are often insufficient, which limits its application in complex environments. To solve this problem, the design of the FBG can be improved by non-uniform etching to adjust the reflection spectrum and enhance the sensing performance. However, a simple non-uniform etching design is difficult to optimize the sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, and stability simultaneously. In addition, due to the complexity of the etching process, how to simplify the design and manufacturing process while improving the performance is still an urgent problem to be solved.

[0025] For this reason, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, a manufacturing method of a fiber Bragg grating provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes steps S101 to S105.

[0026] Step S101, constructing a first transfer matrix and a first grating period distribution function of a first sub-grating, where the first sub-grating is a fiber Bragg grating with a variable grating period.

[0027] Step S102, determining a second transfer matrix of a second sub-grating based on the first transfer matrix, where the second sub-grating is complementary and symmetric to the first sub-grating.

[0028] Step S103, obtaining a first optimal transfer matrix corresponding to the first transfer matrix, a second optimal transfer matrix corresponding to the second transfer matrix, and a first optimal grating period distribution function corresponding to the first grating period distribution function by solving a joint optimization problem.

[0029] Step S104, determining a second grating period distribution function of the second sub-grating based on the first optimal grating period distribution function.

[0030] Step S105, determining the first sub-grating based on the first optimal transfer matrix and the first optimal grating period distribution function, determining the second sub-grating based on the second optimal transfer matrix and the second grating period distribution function, and connecting the first sub-grating and the second sub-grating in series to obtain a target fiber Bragg grating.

[0031] It is understandable that a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) utilizes the photosensitivity of the fiber material to form a structure with a periodic refractive index change inside the fiber through ultraviolet light irradiation or other methods. The etching in this embodiment can be understood as the formation process of the above-mentioned structure with a periodic refractive index change.

[0032] The transmission matrix describes the reflection and transmission characteristics of the FBG for optical signals. The grating period distribution function defines the spatial distribution law of the refractive index modulation in the fiber core and directly affects the filtering performance of the FBG. Therefore, the corresponding FBG can be determined based on the transmission matrix and the grating period distribution function.

[0033] Variable grating period means that the period length of the periodic refractive index change can be altered. The variable grating period of the first sub-grating indicates that the first sub-grating is non-uniform. The second sub-grating is complementary and symmetric to the first sub-grating, so the second sub-grating is also non-uniform, and the target fiber Bragg grating obtained from the first and second sub-gratings is also non-uniform, which can provide more degrees of freedom during grating etching.

[0034] For example, please refer to Figure 2 as shown, the first sub-grating FBG1 and the second sub-grating FBG2 are correspondingly connected in series to obtain the target fiber Bragg grating. Among them, Figure 2 The overall striped shadow shown within the black solid line frame represents the target fiber Bragg grating, and the blank area shown within the black solid line frame represents the area in the fiber core where no refractive index modulation is performed.

[0035] It is understandable that the target fiber Bragg grating is a reverse symmetric cascade structure of two FBG sub-arrays.

[0036] The complementarity between the first sub-grating and the second sub-grating means that they complement each other in function or characteristics. When detecting weak vibration events, the wavelength shifts of the two show opposite change relationships, and combined, they can more comprehensively and accurately reflect vibration information, thus making up for the limitations of single detection.

[0037] Among them, weak vibration events can be judged by those skilled in the art according to prior values and actual situations.

[0038] For example, in the case of using an acceleration sensor to measure the amplitude of a vibration signal, a vibration event with an acceleration less than 0.1 m / s² can be considered a weak vibration event. For rotating machinery in industrial equipment, a vibration event with a vibration velocity RMS less than 2.8 mm / s can be considered a weak vibration event. For buildings and bridges, a vibration event with a vibration displacement less than 0.1 mm or an acceleration less than 0.01 times the acceleration due to gravity can be considered a weak vibration event.

[0039] The symmetry between the first sub - grating and the second sub - grating means that their structures are symmetric, with similar physical properties. Under the same external conditions, their responses are consistent and comparable, which can simplify the signal - processing process and improve the detection accuracy and reliability.

[0040] The joint optimization problem can be determined by the first transfer matrix and the first grating period distribution function, or by the first transfer matrix, the first grating period distribution function and the second transfer matrix, or by the first transfer matrix, the first grating period distribution function, the second transfer matrix and the second grating period distribution function, or by the first transfer matrix, the first grating period distribution function, the second transfer matrix, the second grating period distribution function and other influencing variables.

[0041] Preferably, in this embodiment, the joint optimization problem is determined based on the first transfer matrix, the first grating period distribution function and the second transfer matrix, which has the advantages of taking into account both computational efficiency and accuracy. In this case, the second grating period distribution function for determining the second sub - grating is determined according to the first optimal grating period distribution function obtained by solving the optimization problem.

[0042] The algorithms for solving the joint optimization problem include but are not limited to the gradient algorithm, the adaptive moment estimation algorithm, and the adaptive increment algorithm. Preferably, in this embodiment, the joint optimization problem is solved based on the gradient algorithm, which has the advantages of high computational efficiency, few local - optimal traps, and smooth parameter updates, and will be specifically introduced later.

[0043] In summary, for the manufacturing method of the fiber Bragg grating provided in this embodiment, the grating period of the first sub - grating is variable, and the second sub - grating is complementary and symmetric to the first sub - grating. On the one hand, it can significantly enhance the sensitivity and signal - to - noise ratio of the target fiber Bragg grating. On the other hand, it provides more degrees of freedom for the target fiber Bragg grating, enabling the optimization of wavelength selectivity and bandwidth while maintaining the grating reflection characteristics, further suppressing environmental noise, and improving the robustness of the system.

[0044] By obtaining the first optimal transfer matrix, the second optimal transfer matrix, and the first optimal grating period distribution function through solving the joint optimization problem, and determining the second grating period distribution function based on the first optimal grating period distribution function, the symmetry of the target fiber Bragg grating can be improved. While obtaining the equivalent transfer matrix, the etching amount of the fiber grating is reduced, and the design and manufacturing process is simplified. In the case of large - scale grating distribution, the structural strength of the fiber can be improved. This solves the problem in the related art that the fiber Bragg grating cannot take into account high sensitivity, signal - to - noise ratio, stability, and a relatively simple design and manufacturing process.

[0045] It can be understood that two gratings having equivalent transfer matrices means that their phase and amplitude modulation effects on optical signals are exactly the same, although their physical structures may be different. For example, the periodic distribution and length are different.

[0046] Specifically, in step S101, constructing the first transfer matrix and the first grating periodic distribution function of the first sub-grating includes: Let the first transfer matrix be T1, and the first grating periodic distribution function be , where z represents the etching position of the first sub-grating.

[0047] Preferably, in step S102, determining the second transfer matrix of the second sub-grating based on the first transfer matrix includes: If the first transfer matrix is T1, then the second transfer matrix T2 is: ; where , and T1 -1 represents the inverse matrix of the first transfer matrix T1.

[0048] It can be understood that determining T2 based on T1 provides a basis for the subsequent manufacturing of the target fiber Bragg grating.

[0049] Further, after determining the second transfer matrix of the second sub-grating based on the first transfer matrix, the above method further includes determining the joint optimization problem based on the first transfer matrix, the first grating periodic distribution function, and the second transfer matrix as: ; where represents solving for the minimum value, represents the transfer matrix of the first fiber Bragg grating, and the first fiber Bragg grating is a uniform and fiber Bragg grating equivalent to the target fiber Bragg grating, represents the square of the F norm, is the side mode suppression ratio of the cascaded grating, is the first optimization weight coefficient, is the second optimization weight coefficient, is the third optimization weight coefficient.

[0050] It can be understood that a uniform fiber Bragg grating is a fixed-period grating. The essence of the equivalence between a variable-period grating and a fixed-period grating is to design the periodic distribution function so that the variable-period grating achieves the same transmission characteristics as the fixed-period grating under preset conditions.

[0051] The specific definition of the side mode suppression ratio is: ; where represents the corresponding Bragg wavelength The reflection intensity at represents the reflection intensity at the corresponding non-Bragg wavelength, which is the secondary wavelength.

[0052] Furthermore, after determining the joint optimization problem based on the first transfer matrix, the first grating period distribution function, and the second transfer matrix, the above method further includes: Determining the objective function J based on the joint optimization problem as: ; , , ; Determining the first gradient J of the first transfer matrix, the second gradient J of the second transfer matrix, and the third gradient J of the first grating period distribution function are respectively: , ; , ; ; wherein, the objective function J, the first gradient J, the second gradient J, and the third gradient J are used to solve the joint optimization problem.

[0053] It can be understood that the gradient of is , the gradients of and the gradients of are both zero. Therefore, the total gradient of the first transfer matrix is the first gradient .

[0054] the gradient of is , the gradients of and the gradients of are both zero. Therefore, the total gradient of the second transfer matrix is the second gradient .

[0055] the gradient of is zero, the gradient of The gradient of is For the gradient of is Therefore, the total gradient of the first grating period distribution function is

[0056] Furthermore, by solving the joint optimization problem through the gradient algorithm, the first optimal transmission matrix, the second optimal transmission matrix, and the first optimal grating period distribution function are obtained, including steps S1031 to S1035.

[0057] Step S1031: Set the first initial value of the first transmission matrix , the second initial value of the second transmission matrix , and the third initial value of the first grating period distribution function . And set the first momentum term of the first transmission matrix, the second momentum term of the second transmission matrix, and the third momentum term of the first grating period distribution function corresponding to the initial iteration count value to zero vectors for accumulating gradients, where the initial iteration count value is zero.

[0058] Meanwhile, set the learning rate and the momentum factor .

[0059] Specifically, the value range of the learning rate is from 0.001 to 0.1, such as 0.01 or 0.05.

[0060] The value range of the momentum factor is from 0.85 to 0.95, such as 0.85 or 0.9.

[0061] Step S1032: Based on the first transmission matrix , the second transmission matrix , and the first grating period distribution function corresponding to the current iteration count value k, calculate the first gradient , the second gradient , and the third gradient corresponding to the current iteration count value k.

[0062] Step S1033: Based on the preset momentum factor , and each momentum term and each gradient corresponding to the current iteration count value k, calculate each momentum term corresponding to the next iteration count value k + 1.

[0063] Specifically, the first momentum term of the first transfer matrix corresponding to the next iteration count value k + 1 is: For: ; Wherein, represents the first momentum term of the first transfer matrix corresponding to the current iteration count value k .

[0064] Similarly, the second momentum term of the first transfer matrix corresponding to the next iteration count value k + 1 , and the third momentum term of the first grating period distribution function are respectively: For: For: ; ; Wherein, represents the second momentum term of the second transfer matrix corresponding to the current iteration count value k , represents the third momentum term of the first grating period distribution function corresponding to the current iteration count value k .

[0065] Step S1034, based on the preset learning rate , the first transfer matrix corresponding to the current iteration count value k , the second transfer matrix , the first grating period distribution function , and each momentum term corresponding to the next iteration count value k + 1, calculate the first transfer matrix corresponding to the next iteration count value k + 1 , the second transfer matrix , the first grating period distribution function , specifically: ; ; .

[0066] Step S1035, based on the objective function corresponding to the current iteration count value k , and the objective function corresponding to the next iteration count value k + 1 , calculate the iteration residual corresponding to the next iteration count value k + 1 , when the iteration residual corresponding to the next iteration count value k + 1 is less than or equal to the preset iteration residual threshold In the case of, the first transmission matrix corresponding to the next iteration count value k + 1 , the second transmission matrix , the first grating period distribution function , are used as the first optimal transmission matrix , the second optimal transmission matrix , the first optimal grating period distribution function .

[0067] Specifically, the iteration residual corresponding to the next iteration count value k + 1 is: .

[0068] In the case of , the iteration is completed, and the first optimal transmission matrix , the second optimal transmission matrix , the first optimal grating period distribution function are output.

[0069] In the case of , continue the iteration, let k = k + 1, and repeat steps S1032 to S1035 until the new iteration residual is less than or equal to the iteration residual threshold . The first transmission matrix, the second transmission matrix, and the first grating period distribution function corresponding to the next iteration count value of the new iteration residual are used as the first optimal transmission matrix, the second optimal transmission matrix, and the first optimal grating period distribution function.

[0070] It can be understood that the method for solving the joint optimization problem to obtain the first optimal transmission matrix, the second optimal transmission matrix, and the first optimal grating period distribution function has more prominent advantages of faster convergence speed, fewer local optimal traps, and smoother parameter updates compared with the gradient algorithm in the related technology.

[0071] In addition, the gradient algorithm for solving the above joint optimization problem can also be an accelerated gradient algorithm or an adaptive gradient algorithm.

[0072] The accelerated gradient algorithm has a relatively fast convergence speed and has good convergence guarantee for convex optimization problems, but its implementation is relatively complex and its effect on non-convex problems is unstable.

[0073] The adaptive gradient algorithm can reduce hyperparameter tuning, but the learning rate decreases monotonically, the convergence speed is slow, and it may lead to gradient disappearance.

[0074] Those skilled in the art can choose any one of the above gradient algorithms, accelerated gradient algorithms, and adaptive gradient algorithms provided in this embodiment according to the actual situation to solve the joint optimization problem.

[0075] Further, according to the first optimal grating period distribution function the grating etching position of the first sub-grating FBG1 can be determined.

[0076] Let be the inversion of z, then the second grating period distribution function of the second sub-grating FBG2 is , and the grating etching position of the second sub-grating FBG2 can be determined.

[0077] Further, based on the first optimal transmission matrix and the first optimal grating period distribution function the first sub-grating FBG1 is determined.

[0078] Based on the second optimal transmission matrix and the second grating period distribution function the second sub-grating FBG2 is determined.

[0079] The first sub-grating FBG1 and the second sub-grating FBG2 are correspondingly connected in series to obtain the target fiber Bragg grating.

[0080] In addition, specifically manufacturing the target fiber Bragg grating requires multiple steps, including but not limited to fiber preprocessing, phase mask preparation, exposure system setting, exposure writing, annealing treatment, performance testing and packaging, which belong to the prior art and will not be elaborated herein.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 3 shown, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a vibration event detection method based on a fiber Bragg grating. The fiber Bragg grating is the target fiber Bragg grating manufactured according to any one of the above manufacturing methods. The above detection method includes steps S301 to S305.

[0082] Step S301, obtaining a first sampled observation signal of the first sub-grating and a second sampled observation signal of the second sub-grating.

[0083] Step S302, based on the wavelength shift dictionary, representing the first sampled observation signal and the second sampled observation signal as linear combinations of sparse feature vectors and noise vectors respectively, obtaining a group sparse model, and determining a group sparse optimization problem, where each atom in the wavelength shift dictionary represents a wavelength shift pattern caused by a corresponding vibration event.

[0084] Step S303, introducing a symmetric shift constraint into the group sparse optimization problem to obtain a sparse optimization problem, and solving to obtain a first optimal sparse feature vector of the first sampled observation signal and a second optimal sparse feature vector of the second sampled observation signal.

[0085] Step S304: Integrate the first optimal sparse feature vector and the second optimal sparse feature vector in the feature domain to obtain an integrated feature vector.

[0086] Step S305: Detect vibration events based on the detection algorithm and the integrated feature vector.

[0087] The above detection algorithms include, but are not limited to, modal decomposition algorithms and event dictionary learning algorithms, which belong to the prior art and will not be elaborated herein in this embodiment.

[0088] The vibration event detection method provided in this embodiment is implemented based on the target fiber Bragg grating manufactured by the above manufacturing method, and has the same beneficial effects as the above manufacturing method. It can take into account relatively high sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, stability, and a relatively simple design and manufacturing process.

[0089] In addition, for the vibration event detection method provided in this embodiment, through the reverse symmetric cascaded structure of two FBG sub-arrays, under the influence of the same vibration event, the central wavelengths corresponding to the two FBGs can achieve reverse offsets, which can amplify the originally difficult-to-measure small wavelength offsets, equivalently enhance the energy in the feature domain of the observed signal, and contribute to improving the detection accuracy of the fiber optic system for weak vibration events.

[0090] Specifically, in step S301, obtain the first sampled observation signal of the first sub-grating FBG1 and the second sampled observation signal of the second sub-grating FBG2 , specifically: ; ; where represents the sampling vector of the wavelength offset signal with a wavelength offset of , and represents the sampling vector of the wavelength offset signal with a wavelength offset of . Specifically, there are: ; ; where represents the reflected wavelength of the first sub-grating FBG1, represents the first reference wavelength, represents the reflected wavelength of the second sub-grating FBG2, represents the second reference wavelength.

[0091] It can be understood that the first reference wavelength and the second reference wavelength can be determined by those skilled in the art according to prior values and actual situations.

[0092] The sampling device for scanning the reflected waves of the first sub-grating FBG1 and the second sub-grating FBG2 can be a spectrometer or a fiber Bragg grating sensor demodulation system, or other signal acquisition devices.

[0093] The first sub-grating FBG1 and the second sub-grating FBG2 provided in this embodiment are complementary and symmetric. Therefore, the wavelength shift and the wavelength shift have a symmetric relationship, that is: .

[0094] In other words, the wavelength shifts of the first sub-grating FBG1 and the second sub-grating FBG2 are opposite and have the same offset, which is convenient for processing the wavelength shift signals of the first sub-grating FBG1 and the second sub-grating FBG2 as a group of joint events. Among them, the first sampling observation signal represents the wavelength shift signal of the first sub-grating FBG1, and the second sampling observation signal represents the wavelength shift signal of the second sub-grating FBG2.

[0095] Preferably, in step S302, based on the wavelength shift amount dictionary, the first sampling observation signal and the second sampling observation signal are respectively expressed as a linear combination of a sparse feature vector and a noise vector to obtain a group sparse model, including: The set of all wavelength shift amounts obtained by scanning is , where is the total number of wavelength shift amounts obtained by scanning, then the corresponding wavelength shift amount dictionary D can be expressed as: ; It can be understood that each atom in the wavelength shift amount dictionary D represents a wavelength shift pattern caused by a certain vibration event.

[0096] The group sparse model can be expressed by the first sampling observation signal and the second sampling observation signal as: ; where represents the sparse feature vector of the first sampling observation signal , represents the first noise vector, represents the sparse feature vector of the second sampling observation signal , represents the second noise vector.

[0097] It can be understood that introducing the noise vector can fully consider the influence of noise and improve the detection accuracy.

[0098] Furthermore, the group sparse optimization problem is: ; wherein, represents the Euclidean norm, represents the first sparsity regularization parameter, represents norm.

[0099] It can be understood that the above group sparse optimization problem is constructed according to the above group sparse model. The goal of constructing the above group sparse optimization problem is to find a sparse solution such that the first sampled observation signal and the second sampled observation signal can be composed of a small number of dictionary atoms.

[0100] Among them, the specific value of the small number can be determined by those skilled in the art according to prior values, or the proportion of the total number of dictionary atoms, or the sparsity level of the signal. For example, the specific value of the small number is 10%-20% of the total number of dictionary atoms.

[0101] Furthermore, introducing a symmetric offset constraint into the group sparse optimization problem, the obtained sparse optimization problem is: ; wherein, represents the second sparsity regularization parameter.

[0102] It can be understood that by adding a symmetric offset constraint condition in the process of constructing the wavelength offset dictionary D, the symmetric offset constraint can be introduced into the group sparse optimization problem, and the group sparse optimization problem can be further extended to the above sparse optimization problem. This can ensure that the first sampled observation signal and the second sampled observation signal have an opposite change relationship, thereby reducing the degrees of freedom of the group sparse model and improving the robustness of the group sparse model.

[0103] Solving the above sparse optimization problem through the iterative soft threshold algorithm or the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) algorithm to obtain the first optimal sparse eigenvector of the first sampled observation signal, and the second optimal sparse eigenvector

[0104] of the second sampled observation signal belongs to the prior art, and this embodiment will not elaborate herein. Preferably, the first optimal sparse eigenvector and the second optimal sparse eigenvector are integrated in the feature domain to obtain an integrated eigenvector, specifically: reversing the order of the elements in the second optimal sparse eigenvector to obtain a vector to be integrated; adding the vector to be integrated to the first optimal sparse eigenvector to obtain the integrated eigenvector ; Among them, represents a vector reverse function, which is used to reverse the elements of a vector.

[0105] It can be understood that integrating the optimized optimal sparse feature vector in the feature domain realizes the energy accumulation in the feature domain and improves the induction sensitivity to weak vibration signals.
