The optical fiber temperature sensor demodulation system is combined with an optical fiber Michelson interferometer and an optoelectronic oscillator to change the optical path difference of the interferometer through the change of temperature, thereby changing the center frequency of a microwave signal output by the optoelectronic oscillator and realizing the demodulationof an optical fiber temperature sensor. The temperature probe is simple in manufacturing, and temperature measurement can be achieved with ordinary single-mode optical fibers. The optical fiber temperature sensor demodulation system has the advantages of adjustable measurement sensitivity, high precision and simple measurement method.

technical field [0001] The present invention is mainly used in the field of temperature measurement, and in particular relates to a fiber optic temperature sensor demodulation system. Background technique [0002] In engineering applications and scientific research, temperature is a very important reference quantity and occupies a pivotal position. Traditional temperature sensors are mainly thermocouples, semiconductors and platinum alloys. Their measurement principles are simple and cost-effective, so in practice widely used in applications. Compared with the traditional temperature sensor, the optical fiber temperature sensor uses the spectrum absorbed by some substances to change with the change of temperature, and then analyzes the spectrum transmitted by the optical fiber to measure the temperature change in real time.

Because the optical fiber temperature sensor uses a temperature-sensitive material that matches the refractive index of the optical fiber to coat the surface of the optical fiber, the light can enter the other optical fiber from the reflection surface of one optical fiber. Influence, so that the refractive index changes, so that the output optical power is a function of temperature, so it can be used as a means to measure the change of temperature, but the common problem of optical fiber temperature sensor is poor adaptability to external environmental factors, jitter of optical signal, etc. The change of factors has a great influence on the performance of the sensor demodulation system
