The invention discloses a plate-type
optical fiber accelerometer of a multi-layer-turn special-shaped
optical fiber ring. The plate-type
optical fiber accelerometer comprises a probe, an interference light path and a
demodulation system. Wherein the probe part is formed by bonding a plurality of special-shaped optical
fiber rings on a rectangular thin plate, the optical
fiber rings are arranged in a multi-layer turn closest packing mode, and the shapes of the optical
fiber rings include but are not limited to
runway shapes, ellipses or rounded rectangles; the interference light path part adopts a
Michelson interferometer or a Mach-Zehnder interferometer; and the
demodulation system part comprises a photoelectric converter, an acquisition card and a
data processing board, and the interfered
signal is processed by adopting a phase generated carrier (PGC) method. The beneficial effects of the invention are that the plate-type optical fiber
accelerometer composed of the special-shaped optical fiber rings is invented, and a
general method for performing performance calculation is provided for the accelerometer; a traditional circular optical
fiber ring is replaced by the special-shaped optical
fiber ring, so that the sensitivity of the sensor is improved on the premise that the optical fiber length of the sensor is the same and the resonant frequency is kept unchanged; meanwhile, the optical fiber thermal
noise levels under the same optical fiber length are roughly the same, and the improvement of the sensitivity means the improvement of the overall
signal-to-
noise ratio.
