Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of fiber-optical grating temperature sensor and manufacture method thereof, particularly a kind of stress to external world or strain insensitive optical fiber optical grating temperature sensor and manufacture method thereof belong to sensory field of optic fibre.
Background technology
As a kind of full optical fibre device, Bragg grating (being called for short FBG) is used for fields such as optical fiber communication and Fibre Optical Sensor more and more widely.The FBG sensor has anti-electromagnetic interference (EMI), and is corrosion-resistant, long service life, and volume is little, can the optical wavelength multiplexing mode realize significant advantages such as multiple spot distribution measuring, thereby bring into play huge effect in the occasion that can't use traditional sensors.In recent years, along with the continuous development of FBG sensing technology, its range of application is also enlarging day by day, and beginning replaces traditional sensor-based system in some field.
The FBG sensing is by determining to be reflected by fiber grating or the bragg wavelength of transmission is realized absolute measurement to the measurand value.Although it is multiple that the measurable physical quantity of FBG sensor has, the FBG directly amount of induction mainly is two kinds of temperature and strains.We know, bragg wavelengths BEffective refractive index n by grating periods lambda and reverse coupled mould EffDecision, i.e. λ B=2 Λ n EffWhen FBG is subjected to time spent of doing of axial stress, not only the grating periods lambda can change because of geometry deformation, and effective refractive index n EffAlso can change because of the elasto-optical effect of optical fiber.The bragg wavelengths that causes by axial stress or strain variation Δ ε BVariation can be expressed as Δ λ BB(1-P e) Δ ε, wherein P eElasto-optical coefficient for optical fiber.Thermal expansion and thermo-optic effect make Λ and n EffBe again the function of temperature simultaneously.The bragg wavelengths that causes by temperature variation Δ T BVariation can be expressed as Δ λ BB(the Δ T of α+ξ), wherein α is the thermal expansivity of optical fiber, ξ is the thermo-optical coeffecient of optical fiber.When strain and temperature variation exist simultaneously, λ BVariation then be Δ λ BB(1-P e) Δ ε+λ B(the Δ T=K of α+ξ) εΔ+K TΔ T, wherein K εB(1-P e), K TB(α+ξ) is respectively the sensitivity coefficient of fiber grating to strain and temperature.By following formula as can be known, bragg wavelengths BMutual responsive to strain and temperature, promptly when strain and temperature variation exist simultaneously, bragg wavelengths only from recording BIn can't offer an explanation strain and temperature contribution.
Because the fiber grating of un-encapsulated very easily damages, so the fiber grating that uses as sensor all will pass through the encapsulation of certain form, to reach the purpose of protection fiber grating.Fiber-optic grating sensor after the encapsulation will have the to external world strain different with fiber grating itself and the sensitivity coefficient of temperature.For describing the influence of encapsulation, can introduce strain transfer coefficient x εWith temperature transfer coefficient x T, this moment bragg wavelengths BBe changed to Δ λ B=x εK εΔ ε+x TK TΔ T.This shows, make FBG sensor strain and temperature variation enhanced sensitivity or subtract quick effect to external world by using different materials and adopting different encapsulating structures to reach.
Existing fiber-optical grating temperature sensor adopts bonding agent that fiber grating is fixed in the metal tube, the characteristics of this packaged type are simple in structure, because the thermal expansivity of metal material is higher than the thermal expansivity of fiber optic materials, metal tube has played the sensitization to temperature variation simultaneously.But, because grating and metal bond together, so in the time of in sensor and testee are fixed together or are embedded in as structures such as concrete, the strain that testee produced will be delivered to fiber grating by the bonding agent of metal and curing, make it strain to external world and produce mutual sensitivity, thereby temperature survey is impacted.
