A kind of distributed temperature measuring system based on optical fiber radiation induced attenuation temperature sensitivity
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of distributed temperature measuring system based on optical fiber radiation induced attenuation temperature sensitivity, belong to temperature Field of measuring technique.
Background technology
Temperature detection occupies highly important status in modern industry system and engineer applied, with thermocouple, platinum alloy With semiconductor for representative conventional temperature sensor with principle is simple, cost is low, precision is high the advantages of just obtained many years ago It is widely applied, irreplaceable effect is played in many occasions.But there is electromagnetic interference or inflammable easily fried some severe Under environment, the conventional temperature sensor based on electric signal measurement is very restricted, or even can not be worked.
In recent years, fibre optical sensor with its it is unique the advantages of --- anticorrosion, immune electromagnetic interference, high sensitivity, volume Small, flexible structure, it is easily achieved remote remote sensing and distributed sensing etc. and has obtained the extensive concern of people.Particularly optical fiber passes Sensor may make up sensing network, realize distributed measurement, be more applicable for large-range measuring field, in building, power system, oil Many application scenarios such as exploratory shaft sinking survey play very important effect.At present, the optical time domain and frequency domain based on optical fiber back scattering are anti- Penetrate the distributed measurement technology of technology and the fiber grating distributed measurement technology based on Optical multiplexing technology is all applied to thermometric Field, wherein the wavelength-division multiplex technique (WDM) based on Fiber Bragg Grating FBG (FBG), based on optical fiber Brillouin optical time domain/frequency domain Analytical technology (BOTDA/BOFDA), based on fiber Raman (Raman) optical time domain reflection technology (ROTDR) distributed optical fiber temperature Sensor-based system is spent in the health monitorings such as bridge dam, power system temperature survey, tunnel fire hazard early warning and oil exploitation well Remarkable effect is played in the fields such as lower temperature monitoring.
Distributed temperature sensing system based on FBG is to make multiple gratings on an optical fiber, passes through fibre characteristic ripple The quasi-distributed measurement of temperature is realized in the drift of personal attendant's temperature, realizes that distributed sensing positions using Optical multiplexing technology.The party Method measurement sensitivity is high, but sensing element -- the complex manufacturing technology of fiber grating;Demodulating system is caused to be answered using wavelength modulation It is miscellaneous, and cost is higher.In addition, FBG is often simultaneously sensitive to stress and temperature, the reliability of system is greatly reduced, it is necessary to spy Different separation compensation technique.

The present invention is a kind of distributed temperature measuring system based on optical fiber radiation induced attenuation temperature sensitivity, there is two kinds of embodiment party Formula, it is respectively as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, specifically described below.
The first sensor-based system is as shown in figure 4, including the laser A1 for providing pulsed light, the coupling for optic communication It is device A2, the sensor fibre A3 for temperature sensor, the photodetector A4 for measuring optical signal, broad-adjustable for sending The impulse generator A5 of burst pulse, the amplifying circuit A6 for the small-signal detected to be amplified to processing, for signal Processing and pulse controlled microprocessor A7, the computer A8 shown for data.
Impulse generator A5 sends broad-adjustable burst pulse driving laser A1, the pulse of width, classical prescription needed for generation Tested sensor fibre A3, the sensor fibre welding that N sections are made up of irradiation optical fiber and non-irradiated optical fiber are incided after to coupler A2 In coupler A2 output end, Rayleigh scattering in a fiber be present, optical fiber junction, which exists, to be reflected, the rear orientation light in optical fiber Electric signal is converted into Fresnel reflection optical signal, is exported by coupler A2 to photodetector A4, photodetector A4 handles The scattering light and reflected light signal received is converted into electric signal, and being sent into microprocessor A7 after amplified circuit A6 amplifications carries out letter Number processing, including sampling, analog-to-digital conversion peace equalization process, as a result transmit to computer A8 carry out realtime curve, simultaneously Microprocessor A7 is also by Time -based Control impulse generator A5.Finally, to the test curve on obtained sensor fibre, irradiation portion Divide and carry out difference processing with non-irradiated part, improve temperature measurement accuracy, reduce light source disturbance.
Second of sensor-based system is as shown in figure 5, including the laser A1 for providing pulsed light, the coupling for optic communication It is device A2, the sensor fibre A3 for temperature sensor, the photodetector A4 for measuring optical signal, broad-adjustable for sending The impulse generator A5 of burst pulse, the amplifying circuit A6 for the small-signal detected to be amplified to processing, for signal Processing and pulse controlled microprocessor A7, the computer A8 shown for data.
Impulse generator A5 sends broad-adjustable burst pulse driving laser A1, the pulse of width, classical prescription needed for generation Tested sensor fibre A3 is incided after to coupler A2, M root identical optical fiber, every irradiates optical fiber and non-irradiated light by N sections Fibre is formed, and it is output end of the sensor fibre welding in coupler A2 that M root optical fiber is made into an optical cable (multi-fiber cable), in optical fiber In Rayleigh scattering be present, there is reflection in optical fiber junction, the rear orientation light and Fresnel reflection optical signal in optical fiber are converted into Electric signal, exported by coupler A2 to photodetector, photodetector A4 is the scattering light and reflected light signal received Be converted into electric signal, microprocessor A7 be sent into after amplified circuit A6 amplifications and carries out signal transacting, including sampling, analog-to-digital conversion and Flat equalization process, as a result transmit to computer A8 and carry out realtime curve, while microprocessor A7 is also by Time -based Control arteries and veins Rush generator A5.Finally, the test curve on obtained sensor fibre, exposed portion are carried out at difference with non-irradiated part Reason, temperature measurement accuracy is improved, reduce light source disturbance.
Described laser A1 is high power pulse light source, and optical source wavelength can commonly use ripple according to selection communication is actually carried out Section, enters 850nm, 1310nm or 1550nm, to reduce the cost of optical fiber and related device, can also according to sensitive optical fibre characteristic and The requirement of sensitivity is measured, selects operation wavelength in 400-2000nm any achievable light source.
Difference processing is made to the test curve of gained in the present invention, same root optical fiber is collected backwards by exposed portion It is poor that electric signal caused by scattered light signal is made with the electric signal that non-irradiated part obtains, and both differential signals is obtained, such as Fig. 6 institutes Show, i.e., 2 and 1 work is poor, and 4 and 3 works are poor, and 6 and 5 works are poor, and 8 and 7 works are poor, and by that analogy, difference processing can be eliminated from detector Receiving terminal, optical fiber caused random noise in itself or in measurement process, reduce disturbance, so as to improve temperature measurement accuracy.Figure In give 2 and 1 work difference schematic diagram.It is of the invention compared with dual-wavelength difference method and tradition introduce reference optical fiber calculus of finite differences Method is more simple, easy to detect, and cost is low, and practicality is stronger, and the different piece of same root optical fiber does difference, and light is logical at one Road, guarantee gain balance, precision are higher.
The just pulse signal that laser A1 is sent in the present invention, on sensor fibre A3 at the z of optical pulse strikes end The time that back-scattering light reaches optical fiber incidence end is t=2z/vg, wherein vg=c/r, r be optical fiber refractive index, vgRepresent light Spread speed in a fiber, c are the light velocity, it can thus be concluded that the position z to each fixed point event on optical fiberk=ct/2r, k are to set The label put.
The scattering of optical fiber is mainly Rayleigh scattering, and light source launches light pulse to optical fiber one end, and light is along optical fiber transmitting procedure In, the defects of due to optical fiber itself and dopant material so that inside of optical fibre has inhomogeneities, causes optical signal to be produced along optical fiber Raw irregular scattering, wherein the scattering light for being back to optical fiber incidence end in reverse direction is back-scattering light, as shown in Figure 7. Light is propagated in a fiber, is decayed while rayleigh backscattering is produced, due to the optical wavelength and lambda1-wavelength of Rayleigh scattering It is identical, thus the incident optical power of rayleigh backscattering luminous power and scattering point reduces in direct ratioly.Return to optical fiber incidence The rayleigh backscattering light at end, by appropriate coupling, detection and processing, the optical fiber attenuation with regard to light pulse place of arrival can be obtained Information, so as to be measured to optical fiber attenuation, i.e., so-called optical time domain reflection technology.
The rayleigh backscattering light intensity received at light source top temporally exponentially decays, i.e. along the auspicious of fiber link Sharp backscattering light intensity exponentially decays by distance.Therefore, data photodetector received make Logarithm conversion, so that it may To the curve of an approximately linear.The experiment curv that photodetector obtains enters line slope extraction, you can obtains optical fiber along link Dampening information, the decay of optical fiber has dependence to temperature, outgoing link temperature can be calculated according to optical fiber attenuation.If fiber position z1The rayleigh backscattering luminous power at place is P (z1), fiber position z2The rayleigh backscattering luminous power at place is P (z2), according to light The theoretical calculation formula of fibre decay, can obtain fiber position z1And z2Between decay.Optical fiber attenuation α calculation formula are as follows:
Test data is handled using above-mentioned formula, can obtain the dampening information between any two position, and then The temperature distribution information along fiber link can be obtained.
For the radiation treatment fiber segment in sensor fibre, due to fiber segment that is irradiated and making annealing treatment, its tool of decaying There is stable and dull temperature dependency, when the temperature at this section of optical fiber changes, this section of optical attenuation can occur accordingly Change, cause this section of incident power that significant change occurs.Because backscattering (mainly Rayleigh scattering) luminous intensity enters with this section It is directly proportional to penetrate light intensity, therefore, the backscattering light intensity of this section also can produce change with temperature.Secondly, the section scatters light backwards During propagation, also due to this section of optical fiber color center model and further decay, double semaphore, ultimately result in detector and receive Light signal strength occur significant change, according to detection light intensity come to temperature carry out quantitative measurment.With reference to time domain reflection technology, root The backscattering light intensity received according to detector changes, so that it is determined that the change of measured point temperature.
