Referring to fig. 1, a first embodiment of the present invention relates to a rapid optical fiber code recognition system based on narrowband optical waves, including a laser light source for outputting narrowband optical spectrum, a ring coupler for forming a reflection loop, a photoelectric detection module for collecting reflected optical signals, a fiber grating combination sequence for representing optical fiber codes, and a master control module for controlling, the laser light source includes a tunable laser and an optical switch for filtering optical spectrum, and an electrical connection portion includes: the main control module is connected with the tunable laser, the optical switch and the photoelectric detection module respectively, and the optical fiber connection part comprises: the tunable laser is connected with the optical switch, the optical switch and the photoelectric detection module are respectively connected to the annular coupler, and the output end of the annular coupler is connected with the fiber bragg grating combination sequence. The photodetecting module in this embodiment is an amplified InGaAs avalanche photodiode.
In order to improve the recognition accuracy, the optical switch uses a high-speed optical switch having a nanosecond response speed, and the photoelectric detection module, that is, the amplification type ingaas avalanche photodiode, indicates the received reflected light intensity exceeding the threshold value at a high level. The central wavelength of each grating in the fiber grating combination sequence can be arbitrarily selected, but in view of the limitation of the opening and closing starting time of the tunable laser, the central wavelength of one grating is preferably f0 and the bandwidth is preferably f1, and the interval between the central wavelengths of two adjacent gratings is kept to be f2, so that the identification of the fiber grating combination sequence can be realized without adopting full-range wavelength scanning.
Referring to fig. 3, for a rapid optical fiber code identification system based on narrowband optical waves in this embodiment, a rapid optical fiber code identification method based on narrowband optical waves is further provided, which includes the following steps:
The tunable laser outputs three narrowband spectrums through the optical switch, the three narrowband spectrums respectively comprising the following wavelengths: f0+nf2-f 1/4, f0+nf2 and f0+nf2+f1/4, wherein f0 is one of the central wavelengths of the fiber bragg grating combination sequence, f1 is the bandwidth of the central wavelength f0, f2 is the wavelength interval between two adjacent central wavelengths, and n is a natural number smaller than the central wavelength in the fiber bragg grating combination sequence;
The photoelectric detection module detects the reflected light intensity of the narrowband spectrum reflected by the fiber grating combination sequence;
The main control module obtains the sequence characteristics and the positions of the fiber bragg grating combination sequences according to the reflection light intensity and the reflection time of the narrow-band spectrum, wherein the wavelength corresponding to the maximum value of the reflection light intensity is the reflection wavelength of the fiber bragg grating combination sequences.
During practical use, a specific fiber bragg grating combination sequence is generally identified, and the opening and closing interval time of the photoelectric detection module is controlled according to the position of the estimated fiber bragg grating combination sequence, so that noise signals and non-target reflected signals can be shielded, and the calculated amount of the system is reduced.
Because the existing tunable laser has the problem of long starting time, the identification system automatically starts the tunable laser in advance to select a central wavelength, such as f0, outputs a narrow-wave spectrum, starts an optical switch and an amplifying indium gallium arsenic avalanche photodiode in the later period, outputs a plurality of narrow-band spectrums through a high-speed optical switch, then reflects corresponding narrow-band spectrums through a fiber bragg grating combination sequence, and the reflected narrow-band spectrums acquire high-level signals through the amplifying indium gallium arsenic avalanche photodiode, so that the identification, the ranging and the like of the fiber bragg grating are finally realized; specifically, for each grating in the fiber bragg grating combination sequence, a tunable laser selects a narrow-wave spectrum incident fiber with a central wavelength, when the energy value acquired by an amplifying InGaAs avalanche photodiode exceeds a threshold value, it is indicated that a fiber bragg grating corresponding to the narrow-wave spectrum exists in a certain acquisition point in the fiber, and when a continuous narrow-band spectrum is incident into the fiber, the fiber bragg grating reflects a plurality of corresponding narrow-band spectrums, the energy value of the reflection acquisition point is utilized to calculate the central wavelength, bandwidth and length of the corresponding fiber bragg grating, the fiber bragg grating combination sequence is found according to the length, and the fiber bragg code of the fiber bragg grating combination sequence is calculated, so that the identification and measurement of the fiber bragg grating combination sequence are completed.
When the distance measurement precision is low, the tunable laser directly outputs a pulse narrow-band spectrum, and the optical switch is normally open; when the distance measurement precision needs to be high, the tunable laser is started in advance, and the optical switch is started in the later stage to output a short pulse narrow band spectrum.
In addition, although the above measurement is performed by using a separate narrow-band pulse method, it is actually possible to perform a full-range narrow-band scanning to increase the precision of the center wavelength, and this corresponds to scanning in a wavelength range, and it is possible to determine the position and the center wavelength of the fiber grating combination sequence in the undefined optical fiber.
Referring to fig. 2, a second embodiment of the present invention relates to a rapid optical fiber code recognition system based on narrowband optical waves, including a laser light source for outputting narrowband spectrum, a ring coupler for forming a reflection loop, a photoelectric detection module for collecting reflected light signals, a fiber grating combination sequence for representing optical fiber codes, and a master control module for controlling, the laser light source includes a broad spectrum pulse laser and a tunable filter, and an electrical connection part includes: the main control module is connected with the broad spectrum pulse laser, the tunable filter and the photoelectric detection module respectively, and the optical fiber connection part comprises: the wide-spectrum pulse laser is connected with a tunable filter, the tunable filter and the photoelectric detection module are respectively connected to an annular coupler, and the output end of the annular coupler is connected with the fiber bragg grating combination sequence. In this embodiment, the fiber bragg grating combination sequence is a fiber bragg grating combination.
The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the manner of generating the narrowband spectrum is different, and since the on-off time of the tunable filter is long, the tunable filter needs to be turned on in advance as needed, and the tunable filter is set to a specific narrowband spectrum, the output manner and the detection manner after passing through the tunable filter are the same as those of the first embodiment.
The two embodiments of the invention solve the problems of slow speed, poor ranging precision and high price when the traditional fiber bragg grating demodulator recognizes the fiber bragg grating combined sequence, and the high-speed recognition and high-precision ranging of the fiber bragg grating combined sequence are realized by adopting the narrow-band spectrum output and the photoelectric detection module, and the whole system has low price and is suitable for large-area popularization.
The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge of one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
