一种简单的光纤光栅电调谐方法

采用较简单的双点源真空蒸发法在光栅外表面上蒸镀一层均匀铝膜,利用电流流过铝膜时产生的电阻热改变光栅的温度而使光栅的中心波长向长波方向发生改变.光栅中心波长的变化与所加电流的平方成正比.实验中用较小的电流(约43mA)获得了较大的波长调谐范围(约4nm),其调谐精度达到2.15×10^-3nm/(mA)².     

应用光纤布喇格光栅传感器监测地下管道腐蚀的新方法研究

地下管线工作环境恶劣,腐蚀是引起它破坏和失效的主要原因之一.本文提出了一种应用光纤光栅传感器监测管道腐蚀的新方法.输送石油和天然气等一些物质的管道内部存在的压力会使管道发生膨胀,进而导致管道外壁产生环向变形.假定管道为无限长,管道内部压力导致的管道外壁轴向应变可忽略不计,当管线发生腐蚀时,会导致管壁变薄,管道内部的压力又可以看作基本不变,这样就会增大管道外壁的环向应变.当管道内部压力保持恒定时,管道壁厚与应变之间存在一定的反比例关系,本文方法就是将封装好的光纤光栅传感器粘贴在管道外壁,通过监测外壁环向变形来判断管道腐蚀的情况和程度.通过理论值、模拟值和试验值三者的对比分析来说明了这种新方法是可行的,并且值得被广泛应用,为埋地管道的防灾减灾提供了一种对策.     

Genetic algorithm-support vector regression for high reliability SHM system based on FBG sensor network

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor network has attracted considerable attention in recent years. However, FBG sensor network is embedded or glued in the structure simply with series or parallel. In this case, if optic fiber sensors or fiber nodes fail, the fiber sensors cannot be sensed behind the failure point. Therefore, for improving the survivability of the FBG-based sensor system in the SHM, it is necessary to build high reliability FBG sensor network for the SHM engineering application. In this study, a model reconstruction soft computing recognition algorithm based on genetic algorithm-support vector regression (GA-SVR) is proposed to achieve the reliability of the FBG-based sensor system. Furthermore, an 8-point FBG sensor system is experimented in an aircraft wing box. The external loading damage position prediction is an important subject for SHM system; as an example, different failure modes are selected to demonstrate the SHM system's survivability of the FBG-based sensor network. Simultaneously, the results are compared with the non-reconstruct model based on GA-SVR in each failure mode. Results show that the proposed model reconstruction algorithm based on GA-SVR can still keep the predicting precision when partial sensors failure in the SHM system; thus a highly reliable sensor network for the SHM system is facilitated without introducing extra component and noise.     

基于结构化光纤Bragg光栅的折射率梯度传感器研究

研究结构化光纤Bragg光栅(FBG)在折射率(RI)呈线性分布的液相介质环境下的响应特性。数值仿真结果表明,结构化FBG的反射谱特性强烈依赖于液相介质折射率(RI)的线性分布函数的某些特征参数,比如液相介质的RI沿FBG轴向的分布梯度、RI在FBG两端的差值等。基于理论仿真结果,建立了结构化FBG在低RI区(1.330～1.360)对液相介质的RI梯度进行测量的线性近似理论模型。通过相关实验研究,证明了理论仿真和分析的合理性及基于结构化FBG的RI梯度传感器在现实应用中的可行性。

粒子群优化算法在光纤光栅传感器波长解调中的应用

为了提高光纤光栅(FBG)解调系统的波长解调精度,采用粒子群优化(PSO)算法结合参考光纤光栅(FBG),对常用波长解调器Fabry-Perot型光纤滤波器(FPF)的透射光谱中心波长与控制电压之间存在的非线性和回滞特性进行了研究,并提出一种实时建立FPF透射光中心波长与其控制电压之间关系模型的方法。该方法利用粒子群优化算法收敛快、易实现的特点,保证了FPF模型建立的准确性和实时性。实验结果证明,利用所建模型可有效提高FBG传感系统的波长测量准确度,测量误差不超过25 pm。系统结构简单,对提高FBG传感系统的测量准确度具有重要意义。     

Realization of an efficient coherent combination via Michelson cavity

An intracavity coherent coupling Michelson erbium-doped fibre (EDF) laser (MCEDFL) is proposed and demonstrated. By using this laser system, we find a means to obtain a maximum power output at the same pumping power level. From the experiment based on fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) with different reflectivities from 6{\%} to 100{\%}, we find that the reflectivity of the FBG plays a vital role in improving the performance of the MCEDFL. At the same time, the MCEDFL with a polarizer can be coherently combined effectively. This type of system, in principle, is compatible with other more powerful pumping methods, such as cladding pumping, and brings some novel perspectives to the realization of high power lasers.     

Third-Order Dispersion in Linearly Chirped Bragg Gratings and Its Compensation

When fiber optics' quadratic dispersion is compensated, the cubic dispersion determines the transmission quality in an optical link. Although the third-order dispersion coefficient is small in standard fiber optics at the third window, it is not in the linearly chirped grating used to the second-order dispersion equalization. The influence of the grating parameters on its third-order dispersion value is systematically studied and an efficient and low-cost device is proposed thatis numerically proven to cancel the global third-order dispersion that arises from the optical link.
