High-speed demodulation method and device for high-capacity weak grating sensing network

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-speed demodulation method for a high-capacity weak grating sensing network. The method comprises the following steps: (1) inscribing a plurality of weak gratings FBGr, FBG1, FBG2, FBG3 and the like in sequence on an optical fiber, wherein the FBGr is taken as a reference grating, and the FBG1, FBG2, FBG3 and the like are divided into m (m is more than or equal to 1) groups of identical weak grating arrays for constructing a sensing network; (2) generating pulse light by using a pulse laser, introducing the pulse light into the reference grating and the sensing network through an optical circulator, returning the reflected signal of each weak grating to the optical circulator, and introducing the reflected signals into an erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier for amplifying; (3) feeding the amplified reflected signals into a dispersion compensation optical fiber, receiving the time of the reflected signal of each weak grating by using a photoelectric detector, and performing signal processing through a high-speed data acquisition system to obtain the wavelength change of each weak grating in the sensing network in order to realize demodulation. A high-speed demodulation device for the high-capacity weak grating sensing network mainly comprises a pulse laser, an optical circulator, an optical fiber inscribed with a plurality of weak grating, am erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier, a dispersion compensation optical fiber, a photoelectric detector and a high-speed data acquisition system.
