The present invention relates to the technical field of
optical fiber sensing. Disclosed are a multi-core
grating sensor and a manufacturing method therefor, and a
permafrost monitoring method. The multi-core
grating sensor comprises a multi-
core optical fiber grating, a
strain gauge structure, and a demodulator, and the multi-
core optical fiber grating comprises four uniformly and symmetrically distributed single-mode optical fibers, a cladding layer wrapping the four single-mode optical fibers, and a
coating layer located between the single-mode optical fibers and the cladding layer; the
strain gauge structure is attached to the outside of the multi-
core optical fiber grating by means of glue bonding; and the demodulator is used for monitoring the dynamic change of the
wavelength of the multi-core
optical fiber grating, the demodulator comprises a
broadband light source and a
spectrum analyzer, an incident end of the multi-core
optical fiber grating is connected to the
broadband light source by means of the single-mode optical fibers, and an exit end thereof is connected to the
spectrum analyzer by means of the single-mode optical fibers. Also disclosed in the present invention is a
permafrost monitoring method. By means of comprehensive analysis and
demodulation of
fiber core
wavelength variation amounts of a plurality of single-mode optical fibers on a single multi-core optical
fiber grating, simultaneous measurement of multiple parameters is achieved, and the
permafrost monitoring accuracy is improved.
