Elimination of environmental noise in interferometric wavelength shift demodulation for dynamic fiber Bragg grating sensor array

We present a novel reference compensation method for eliminating environmental noise in interferometric wavelength shift demodulation for dynamic fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. By employing a shielded wavelength-division-multiplexed reference FBG in the system, the environmental noise is measured from the reference channel, and then subtracted from the demodulation result of each sensor channel. An approximate 40 dB reduction of the environmental noise has been experimentally achieved over a frequency range from 20 Hz to 2 kHz. This method is also suitable for the elimination of broadband environmental noise. The corresponding FBG sensor array system proposed in this paper has shown a wavelength resolution of .     

Analysis of a demodulation system for Fiber Bragg Grating sensors using two fixed filters

The analysis of a demodulation system for Fiber Bragg Grating sensors based on two fixed spectral filters has been carried out both theoretically and experimentally. Different system configurations were analyzed by modifying the spectral position of the filters as well as the optical power-level of the signal reaching the two photo-detectors. Measurements with integration times that varied from 0.01 to 1 s have been compared with the low-frequency limit predicted for long-term operation. Comparisons between simulated and experimental results show good agreement, and extrapolations indicate that it should be possible to achieve an operating spectrum range of the order of 7 nm, with uncertainties equivalent to less than 2 pm in measurements of the sensor peak position.     

Investigation on the maximum signal handling capability of fiber optic interferometric sensor based on the digital heterodyne demodulation scheme

The maximum signal handling capability (MSHC) is an important parameter for the fiber optic interferometric sensor (FOIS) system. It is restricted by the heterodyne frequency (HF) and the digital quadrature demodulation algorithm (DQDA) in the digital heterodyne demodulation scheme. In this paper we systematically investigate the MSHC of the FOIS based on the digital heterodyne demodulation scheme through comparison of the HF-determined MSHC and DQDA-determined MSHC. When discussing the DQDA-determined MSHC, two widely used methods are included, which are arctangent and differential-cross multiply (DCM). The comparison results reveal that the arctangent-determined MSHC is 12 dB larger than the DCM-determined MSHC. The HF-determined MSHC is between the two types of DQDA-determined MSHC. If the DQDA is arctangent, the MSHC of the system is the HF-determined MSHC. If the DQDA is DCM, the MSHC of the system is the DCM-determined MSHC. Experiments are carried out and the results are consistent with the theoretical analysis. The conclusion in this paper can help us to estimate the MSHC of the FOIS system based on the digital heterodyne demodulation scheme more accurately and provide a useful guideline for the design of the FOIS system with large demodulation dynamic scale.     

Research of the polarity characteristic for an optical fiber accelerometer demodulated by phase generated carrier technology

For an accelerometer, it is necessary to distinguish the plus/minus axis rightly before use. Demodulated by phase generated carrier (PGC) technology, a definition of the polarity characteristic for a double-arms optical fiber accelerometer is proposed. It was found that, when the selected modulation depth C > 0, the demodulated result by PGC technology is equal to the optical phase shift in the long arm subtracting the one in the short arm, while opposite result would be obtained when C < 0. Then, a simple model is presented to discuss relations between the output of the accelerometer and relative positions of the two arms and the sound source. We demonstrate that, when C > 0, the response of the accelerometer is coincident with the signal when the long arm is placed pointing to the source, while opposite once the relative positions of the two arms were exchanged. On this condition, the long arm is defined as the plus axis and the short arm to be the minus axis. However, when C < 0, the polarity definition should be opposite. Based on this polarity definition, a combination method is offered to fabricate a three-dimensional optical fiber vector hydrophone (OFVH). Finally, these conclusions are proved by experiments.
