Cascaded optical fiber respiratory sensing system and testing method thereof

Abstract

Disclosed in the invention is a cascaded optical fiber respiratory sensing system comprising a voltage-stabilized power source, a broadband light source and a driving circuit thereof, an optical fibercoupler, a cascaded optical fiber sensor, a spectrum demodulator, a data acquisition card, a microprocessor and a display output unit. The cascaded optical fiber sensor being a single mode-less mode-multi-core-less mode-single mode cascaded fiber sensor comprises a multi-core fiber clamped and fused between a first less-mode fiber and a second less-mode fiber; the other end of the first less-modefiber is fused with an input single-mode fiber; and the other end of the second less-mode fiber is fused with an output single-mode fiber. Light from the broadband light source is coupled by the optical fiber coupler; the coupled light passes through the cascaded optical fiber sensor; a wavelength drift signal is received by the spectrum demodulator; the data acquisition card transmits the signalto the microprocessor; and the microprocessor carries out amplification, filtering, and separation on a series of wavelength drift signals to obtain respiratory signals. The system has advantages ofsmall size, light weight, simple structure, great easiness in preparation, high sensitivity and good performance of electromagnetic interference prevention and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medical signal detection device, in particular to a respiratory signal sensor realized by using a single-mode-few-mode-multi-core-few-mode-single-mode optical fiber cascade structure. Background technique [0002] Respiration is an important physiological process of the human body, and the monitoring and detection of human respiration is also an important part of modern medical monitoring technology. It is used to evaluate the patient's respiratory function status, diagnose the type and degree of respiratory disorders, and dynamically monitor the respiratory function of high-risk patients. Whether the patient has lesions of the respiratory system itself or other important organs, the respiratory center will be affected to a certain extent if it develops to a certain extent. The failure of respiratory function and the failure of other organ functions are mutually causal. Therefore, a good respiratory function test is very impo...
