基于反射光谱特征辨识的光纤气压与温度集成监测方法

针对飞行器机载环境多参量综合测试需求,研究了一种基于反射光谱特征辨识的光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)气压与温度集成监测方法,给出了基于膜片式结构的双参量传感机理及其理论模型。采用基于耦合模理论的OptiGrating软件,得到不同气压与温度条件下光纤布拉格光栅传感器仿真反射光谱。在此基础上,借助弹塑性和恢复性能优良的平膜片感压机构,构建了膜片式双光纤气压/温度集成监测模型。研究表明,恒温条件下应变传感光纤光栅反射光谱随气压增加而逐渐向短波方向偏移,其中心波长灵敏度约为0.803 0 nm·MPa-1,且反射谱主峰及其旁瓣峰值均随气压变化呈现良好线性关系;当气压恒定而温度变化时,处于仅感温不受力状态的温度传感光纤光栅反射光谱中心波长灵敏度约为9.39 pm·℃-1;当气压与温度交叉变化时,能够实现对变温条件下的微小气压变化实时监测。传感光纤光栅受非均匀应变效应反射光谱存在一定啁啾现象,其反射光谱旁瓣峰值波长随环境温度、气压变化均会发生偏移,具有良好线性关系,且在不同气压下反射光谱对应的同一阶数旁瓣峰值幅度相等。该研究能够为航空航天器系统多物理参量在线综合测试提供有益帮助。

Bragg grating chemical sensor with hydrogel as sensitive element

A novel fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based chemical sensor using hydrogel, a swellable polymer, as sensitive element is demonstrated. The sensing mechanism relies on the shift of Bragg wavelength due to the stress resulted from volume change of sensitive swellable hydrogel responding to the change of external environment. A polyacrylamide hydrogel fiber grating chemical sensor is made, and the experiments on its sensitivity to the salinity are performed. The sensitivity is low due to the less stress from the shrinking or swelling of hydrogels. Reducing the cross diameter of the grating through etching with hydrofluoric acid can greatly improve the sensitivity of the sensor.     

A novel fiber-laser-based fiber Bragg grating strain sensor with high-birefringence Sagnac fiber loop mirror

A novel fiber-laser-based strain sensor is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The laser cavity is composed of a high-birefringence Sagnac fiber loop mirror （HiBi-SFLM） and a fiber Bragg grating （FBG） which also acts as a strain-sensing element. In the linear region of the HiBi-SFLM reflection spectrum, when the strain applied on the FBG makes the Bragg grating wavelength shift, the laser output power changes due to refleetivity variation of the HiBi-SFLM. Experimental results show that the laser output power varies almost linearly with the applied strain. The measurement of the output power can be performed by a conventional photo-detector.

一种监测钢筋腐蚀的光纤光栅传感器的研究

钢筋腐蚀是导致钢筋混凝土结构耐久性劣化的最重要因素之一。钢筋腐蚀将导致钢筋体积大大增加,混凝土保护层开裂、剥落,结构承载力下降,甚至倒塌。基于光纤布拉格光栅应变传感器的原理,根据钢筋腐蚀体积膨胀,提出了一种新的钢筋腐蚀光纤光栅传感器及温度补偿方法。传感器构造是在两根紧靠的钢筋中心附近粘贴光纤光栅,由于钢筋腐蚀体积膨胀,钢筋直径增加将转变成布拉格光纤光栅的应变,从而实现对钢筋腐蚀程度及速率的监测。传感器的监测原理是设置一个钢筋腐蚀光纤光栅传感器来监测由于钢筋腐蚀和温度变化引起的光栅应变,同时单独设置一个不锈钢光纤光栅传感器来测量温度引起的光栅应变。这两个光纤光栅传感器的应变监测,可分离出钢筋由于腐蚀所引起的体积变化。在混凝土结构中埋入封装的传感器,通过监测光纤光栅波长的漂移可以直接测量钢筋腐蚀程度,而且不受腐蚀因素的影响,可用于混凝土结构中钢筋腐蚀的早期监测。最后通过实验标定了钢筋腐蚀率与光栅波长位移的关系。

Dynamic strain measurement using two wavelength-matched fiber Bragg grating sensors interrogated by a cascaded long-period fiber grating

In this work, we describe a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing system using two wavelength-matched FBG sensors for static and dynamic strain measurement. A cascaded long-period fiber grating (CLPG)-based demodulation technique has been used to interrogate the two wavelength-matched FBG sensors. Experimental results of static strain measurement show that the proposed system has a strain resolution of 1 με. This system has also been used for dynamic strain measurement. An eddy current displacement meter-based system has been used as a comparison measurement. Experimental results of dynamic strain measurement have proved that the FBG sensing system has a good performance in the measurement of dynamic strain. The results of static and dynamic strain measurement indicate that the sensing system using two wavelength-matched FBG sensors is superior to the single FBG sensor system.     

Fiber Bragg grating sensor for petroleum hydrocarbon leak detection

A novel type of fiber optic Bragg grating sensor for petroleum hydrocarbon leak detection is presented. The sensor structure includes attached to the fiber a polymer member, which reversibly expands in hydrocarbon presence and strains the fiber section with the Bragg grating inside. A shift of the grating Bragg wavelength due to fiber strain is more than 2 nm for 20-min gasoline influence, which significantly exceeds a shift due to possible environmental temperature variation.     

Dynamic strain monitoring by wavelength locking between two fiber Bragg gratings fiber sensing system

We demonstrated a fiber sensing system using the method of wavelength locking of two identical fibers Bragg gratings (FBG) to interrogate the wavelength shift by directly measuring the intensity of the reflection from the sensing Bragg grating. The light source of the fiber sensing system is an EDFA fiber ring laser pumped by a 980 nm laser diode and a narrow bandwidth fiber Bragg grating for the filter of the ring laser resonator. The wavelength shift is converted to the intensity deviation of the reflection from the sensing FBG under strain variation, and is able to achieve real-time sensing of the dynamic strain sensing in civil engineering. The characteristics and key factors to maintain stability of the dynamic strain sensing system are discussed.
