摘要

超窄线宽π相移光纤布拉格光栅在光纤传感领域发挥着重要的作用, 但是这种超窄线宽π相移光纤布拉格光栅对输入光强度非常敏感, 输入光在光栅内部产生光热效应会引起频率移动, 降低了光栅的测量精度, 同时激光器自身的频率漂移也会增大测量误差. 本文提出使用超窄线宽π相移光纤布拉格光栅进行高精度应变测量的方法, 采用单光子调制技术锁定激光频率到38 MHz超窄线宽π相移光纤布拉格光栅, 同时消除了光栅内部光热效应和激光频率起伏对应变测量的影响, 对于0—30 με范围的外部应变实现了测量精度为0.05 με的高精度测量, 该方法在航空航天、土木工程、能源工程等领域具有重要应用价值.

Abstract

The fiber Bragg grating has the characteristics of anti-electromagnetic interference, electrically passive operation, multi-point sensing, corrosion resistance, and compact size. An ultra-narrow linewidth transmission peak can be formed by introducing a π phase shift at the center of uniform fiber Bragg grating. But this π phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PSFBG) with an ultra-narrow linewidth is very sensitive to the input optical intensity. The photothermal effect generated by the input light inside the grating will cause the frequency shift, which will degrade the measurement precision of grating. At the same time, the frequency drift of the laser itself will also increase the measurement error. In this paper, a high-precision strain measurement method is proposed by using the PSFBG with an ultra-narrow linewidth based on the frequency-stabilized laser. The incident laser is attenuated to a single-photon level to eliminate the photothermal effect in the PSFBG. The laser frequency is stabilized to the PSFBG with an ultra-narrow linewidth of 38 MHz by using the single-photon modulation technology. The influence of low-frequency flicker noise is eliminated through 9-kHz high-frequency modulation. The filter bandwidth of lock-in amplifier is 312.5 Hz with the integration time and filter slope of 300 μs and 18 dB, respectively. The signal-to-noise ratio of error signal from the lock-in amplifier is 34. By tuning the resonant cavity length of the laser with the error signal, the output laser frequency is stabilized to the Bragg frequency of the PSFBG with an ultra-narrow linewidth of 38 MHz. The laser frequency fluctuation is limited to 4 MHz within 1000 s. The response sensitivity of Bragg wavelength to external strain in a range of 0 to 30 με is 1.2 pm/με, with a standard error of 0.023 pm/με, and the linear fitting correlation coefficient is R² = 0.997. Due to the random drift of Bragg wavelength, caused by the environment temperature fluctuations, the corresponding strain measurement precision is 0.05 με. The high-precision strain measurement by using the PSFBG with an ultra-narrow linewidth based on the frequency-stabilized laser is achieved, which will play an important role in the field of aerospace, civil engineering, energy engineering, etc.
