Problems solved by technology

However, the comb filter of the F-P interferometer has a high degree of precision and the manufacturing process is relatively complicated. It also needs to use a constant temperature circuit to keep it at a constant temperature, otherwise it will seriously reduce the measurement accuracy of the demodulator when it is used as a wavelength reference device.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for demodulating a fiber bragg grating (FBG) sensor. The method comprises the following steps of: controlling a wavelength scanning laser device to generate narrow-band scanning laser rays with continuously changed wavelengths by using a computer; splitting beams of the narrow-band scanning laser rays generated by the wavelength scanning laser device; enabling a generated reflection spectrum to enter a photoelectric detector again via an optical fiber coupler to be converted into electric signals after the beam-split narrow-band scanning laser rays respectively enter the FBG sensor to be measured and a reflecting FBG comb filter with a temperature compensation package function via the optical fiber coupler, and acquiring the electric signals by the computer after the electric signals are amplified; obtaining wavelengths of peaks of the reflecting FBG comb filter with the temperature compensation package function by the computer through a peak-detection algorithm; calibrating the reflection spectrum of the FBG sensor by the wavelengths; and calculating an absolute wavelength value of the FBG sensor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a demodulation method and device of an FBG sensor, belonging to the technical field of optical fiber sensing. Background technique [0002] The fiber grating sensor has high reliability, strong anti-electromagnetic interference ability and corrosion resistance. In particular, its wavelength coding characteristics and the advantages of quasi-distributed measurement on a single fiber are unmatched by other sensors and have broad application prospects. However, one of the most important obstacles restricting the large-scale practical application of FBG sensors is the demodulation of the wavelength signals of FBG sensors. [0003] After more than 20 years of development, a variety of fiber grating demodulation technologies have emerged in the field of fiber grating sensing. Typical demodulation techniques include spectrometer detection method, matched grating demodulation method, unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometry, tunable F-...
