Abstract

The invention discloses a single-mode heterogeneous optical fiber cascaded strain array sensor, and the strain array sensor is mainly characterized in that the strain array sensor is a strain array sensor which is formed by integrating a heterostructure reflecting surface formed by a single-mode optical fiber 1 and a double-cladding optical fiber 2 on an optical fiber. The strain array sensor provided by the invention can be used for measuring factors such as ambient temperature and stress of the optical fiber strain array sensor, and is particularly applicable under a high-temperature condition due to the inherent characteristics of the strain array sensor provided by the invention. In addition, the sensor is high in sensitivity, is compact in structure, is high in temperature resistance,is low in cost, is large in sensor reuse number and the like.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical fiber technology, and in particular relates to a strain array sensor with cascaded single-mode heterogeneous optical fibers. (2) Background technology [0002] In recent years, white light interferometric sensing technology has developed vigorously. One of the hot spots is the development of optical fiber sensors and test systems with multiple sensor multiplexing technologies for the measurement of physical quantities such as strain, temperature, and pressure. The background of the development of sensor multiplexing technology is mainly due to the fact that in actual measurement and testing applications, the sensing of a single physical quantity and a single location point is far from meeting people's requirements for the perception of the whole thing or system state, which often requires multiple or The distribution of multi-point physical quantities is measured online or in real time. For example, in...
