Abstract

The invention relates to a distributed optical fiber temperature strain sensor based on Brillouin optical amplification detection. The narrow-band Brillouin gain feature of a Brillouin gain optical fiber is used to detect the frequency shift of the Brillouin scattering light of a sensing optical fiber. The Brillouin scattering light and the frequency shift light input the Brillouin gain optical fiber from two ends. A narrow linewidth optical filter filters the stokes or anti-stokes sidebands of the Brillouin scattering light to perform photoelectric detection. An optical power control unit stably controls the power of the frequency shift light. When the frequency difference between the Brillouin scattering light and the frequency shift light equals to the Brillouin frequency shift of the Brillouin gain optical fiber, the strongest photoelectric detection signal is obtained, and detection of the Brillouin scattering light is achieved. The distributed optical fiber temperature strain sensor has the advantages that the frequency of photoelectric detection, circuit signal production and processing is lowered, technical difficulty and cost are lowered, flat frequency response feature is obtained by stable control of the frequency shift power, and precise detection of Brillouin scattering light frequency shift is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a distributed optical fiber temperature strain sensor, in particular to a distributed optical fiber temperature strain sensor based on Brillouin light amplification detection, which belongs to the technical field of optical fiber sensors. Background technique [0002] There is a good linearity between the frequency shift of the Brillouin scattered light generated when light propagates in the fiber and the temperature and strain of the fiber. The frequency shift-temperature sensitivity is about 1.05MHz / ℃, and the frequency shift-strain sensitivity is about 0.046MHz. / με; by measuring the frequency shift of the Brillouin scattered light generated when the optical pulse propagates in the optical fiber, and at the same time using the optical pulse propagation delay to achieve positioning, the temperature and strain information continuously distributed along the optical fiber can be obtained, that is, the distributed optical fiber te...
