Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors Array Based on Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry Technology

摘要

In this paper, the optimized Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor Arrays system, which was based on Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry(OFDR) Multiplexing and Fabry-Perot Tunable Optical Filter(TOF) Demodulation Technology was Introduced, that FBG sensors in the same operating waveband can be used in different beat frequencies positions was proposed, and then a simulation was made for this proposition. As a result, in the case of duty ratio of the modulation signal w=1, the maximum amplitude B=40MHz, and saw-tooth frequency f_s=5kHz,the maximum measurement range can reach 4000m and, the minimum resolution can be reduced to 2.58m. In addition, A/D converting circuits and a DSP COMS chip were suggested to be designed for the function of frequency mixing, wavelength filtering and Fast Fourier Transform so that instead of expensive frequency analyzer, so that the system cost can be reduced.
