Fiber Optic Impact Location System Based on a Tracking Tandem Low-Coherence Interferometer

Abstract: This study proposes a method for detecting small-length fluctuations for fiber-optic sensors (FOS). The method is based on a tracking tandem low-coherence interferometer and enables the ability to compensate for temperature and deformation drifts in FOS. As a result, the constant high sensitivity of FOS over a wide frequency range is guaranteed. Sensitivity to the level of 2 nm in the frequency range of 200 kHz has been demonstrated. The operation of the circuit is demonstrated on the example of the 2D locatio… Show more

“…The typical amplitudes of the acoustic emission signal range from about one nanometer to tens of nanometers [ 44 ]. However, they can be up to 1–2 um for a strong external impact [ 39 ]. The maximum suitable signal amplitude for the proposed algorithm is determined using the coherence length of the light source (which should be much less than the coherence length) and is about 2-3 um for the superluminescent diodes used.…”

“…The proposed method is based on low-coherence interferometry [39,40], as shown in Figure 1a. Two interferometers with the differences in optical path length ∆ 1 and ∆ 2 are illuminated sequentially by a broadband light source with a short coherence length L coh .…”

“…Известно, что при использовании широкополосного источника интерференция наблюдается только при условии, что разность оптических путей интерферирующих волн меньше длины когерентности [15][16][17][18][19]. Соответственно сигнал на фотоприемнике при выполнении усло-…”

“…Основной проблемой такого подхода является настройка рабочей точки сенсорного интерферометра в положение максимальной чувствительности и ее удержание в этом состоянии, что осложняется случайным дрейфом оптической длины резонатора, вызванным паразитными деформациями и изменениями температуры. Существуют различные методы борьбы с данным эффектом: подстройка длины волны лазера [11], методы гомодинной демодуляции [12][13][14] и различные методы низ-кокогерентной интерферометрии [15][16][17][18][19]. В настоящее время методы гомодинной демодуляции, основанные на введение дополнительной модуляции в чувствительный элемент, хорошо разработаны для когерентных схем детектирования.…”

“…As one example, this is illustrated by a paper written in 2023 by Englert et al, in which wind velocities and directions in the Martian atmosphere have been determined [14]. Very recently, Michelson interferometers have also been utilized for exact failure location in extended optical fiber networks [15], high-resolution fiber optic sensor readout systems [16], detecting small volume/low concentration chemicals in a ring cavity laser [17], and absolute distance measurements using frequency combs [18,19], as well as tracking impact locations with a low-coherence Michelson interferometer [20].…”
