A shipborne expendable optical-
fiber bathythermograph comprises an
all optical fiber probe, transmission optical fibers and a
deck unit, wherein the probe measures the
seawater temperature through LPG (long period
fiber gratings) and measures the
seawater depth through FBG (fiber bragg gratings), and
seawater temperature and depth profiles are measured independently at high sensitivity; the
deck unit comprises a
broadband light source, a dynamic fiber
grating fast and high-precision
demodulation module, an
optical fiber isolator, a first
optical fiber coupler, a second
optical fiber coupler, an upper fiber shaft and a telescopic support mounted on the board of the stem of a working ship. The thermograph solves the problems of
cross sensitivity and
sensitization of a sensor, the sensitivity of temperature and depth measurement is improved, errors caused by enameled wire channels are overcome, the
signal transmission rate and the stability are guaranteed, single light path
cascade of FBG and LPG is realized, a light path structure is optimized, the spectral region is allocated reasonably, temperature and depth
synchronous detection is realized, the thermograph is simple to manufacture, the probe is low in cost, and a new technical means is provided for detection of the seawater temperature and depth profiles.
