本发明属于激光测速雷达技术领域,具体涉及连续波全光纤相干多普勒激光测速雷达光学噪声的抑制系统和方法。The invention belongs to the technical field of laser speed measuring radar, and in particular relates to a system and method for suppressing optical noise of continuous wave all-fiber coherent Doppler laser speed measuring radar.
背景技术Background technique
近年来激光测速雷达技术有很大的发展,具体应用领域包括激光测风、激光液体测速、无人驾驶用激光雷达等。为实现以上功能,被广泛运用的技术基础包括多普勒测速技术、光学相干测量技术以及全光纤光路结构。其中,多普勒测速技术基于光源与目标相对运动产生激光频移的原理,通过测量激光频率的移动量反推得到目标与光源的相对运动速度;光学相干测量则是一种获知具体多普勒频移量的方法,利用本振光与携带了多普勒频移信息的信号光进行相干探测,通过测量差频信息来获知多普勒频移量,该方法由于可采用较强的本振光,能实现对微弱信号的放大效果,尤其是采用平衡探测器时可降低本振光相对强度噪声,从而特别适合于微弱信号光的检测;最后,由于具备结构稳定的显著优点,全光纤结构也已被广泛运用于此类设备中。In recent years, laser speed radar technology has made great progress. Specific application fields include laser wind measurement, laser liquid speed measurement, and laser radar for unmanned driving. To achieve the above functions, the widely used technical basis includes Doppler velocity measurement technology, optical coherent measurement technology and all-fiber optical path structure. Among them, the Doppler speed measurement technology is based on the principle that the relative motion of the light source and the target produces a laser frequency shift, and the relative motion speed of the target and the light source is obtained by measuring the movement of the laser frequency; optical coherence measurement is a method to know the specific Doppler The frequency shift method uses the local oscillator light and the signal light carrying the Doppler frequency shift information for coherent detection, and obtains the Doppler frequency shift by measuring the difference frequency information. This method can use a strong local oscillator Light can achieve the amplification effect on weak signals, especially when the balance detector is used, it can reduce the relative intensity noise of local oscillator light, so it is especially suitable for the detection of weak signal light; finally, due to the remarkable advantages of stable structure, the all-fiber structure It has also been widely used in such devices.
作为微弱信号光检测的典型例子,激光测风雷达,包括连续光与脉冲光激光测风雷达通过检测大气中气溶胶粒子对探测光的背向散射中所携带的多普勒信息来实现对风场大小与方向的测量。由于大气气溶胶粒子引起的背向散射系数极低,系统对微弱信号光多普勒信息的提取能力显得尤为关键。解决以上问题的关键在于提升信号的信噪比。目前一般从两方面着手,其一设法增加信号光功率,其二则为减少测量过程中的噪声。除以上提到的本振光相对强度噪声之外,相干多普勒激光测速雷达,尤其是连续波全光纤激光相干多普勒测速雷达还面临一类重要的噪声来源,如系统光纤端面反射光及部分光路泄露光引入的相干噪声。As a typical example of weak signal light detection, laser wind radar, including continuous light and pulse light laser wind radar, realizes wind detection by detecting the Doppler information carried in the backscattering of detection light by aerosol particles in the atmosphere. Measurement of field size and direction. Due to the extremely low backscattering coefficient caused by atmospheric aerosol particles, the ability of the system to extract Doppler information of weak signal light is particularly critical. The key to solving the above problems is to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal. At present, generally proceed from two aspects, one is to try to increase the signal optical power, and the other is to reduce the noise in the measurement process. In addition to the relative intensity noise of local oscillator light mentioned above, coherent Doppler laser speed measurement radar, especially the continuous wave all-fiber laser coherent Doppler speed measurement radar also faces an important noise source, such as the reflected light from the end face of the optical fiber in the system. And the coherent noise introduced by part of the optical path leakage light.
现有技术中,光纤激光雷达由光纤耦合的MOPA-SL光源、环形器、内联偏振控制器和光电探测器组成。环形器2端口的PC端涂有抗反射涂层(<0.25%)以获得合适功率的本振光,由于该方案中,本振光已与信号光提前混合并从同一光路返回,故难以采用平衡探测方案降低强本振光带来的光学强度噪声,影响了系统信噪比的进一步提升。In the prior art, fiber laser radar consists of a fiber-coupled MOPA-SL light source, a circulator, an inline polarization controller, and a photodetector.
