This invention relates to the field of
fiber optic measurement technology, and particularly to a method and
system for measuring and modulating temperature and stress in multimode
fiber optics. The method utilizes a single-frequency
laser emitted from a
pigtail laser, which is then split by a
beam splitter and fed into the multimode
fiber of the measurement and reference arms. The outgoing light is collimated, polarized, and then combined by a polarization combining
crystal. After being modulated by a quarter-wave plate, interference fringes are finally recorded by a polarization
mask camera. A four-step phase-shifting
algorithm is used to reconstruct the
wavefront phase image, extracting two characteristic parameters: the change in the tilt angle of the interference fringes and the change in the
wavefront phase distribution. This invention leverages the differences in
wavefront response mechanisms of multimode fibers under temperature and stress to achieve two-parameter decoupling. It offers advantages such as high real-time performance, resistance to strong light interference, and a compact structure, making it suitable for integrated precision temperature and
stress measurement in
industrial monitoring and
aerospace fields.
