    腔长调制的光纤法布里-珀罗干涉式声传感器研制

    Development of Fiber-Optic Fabry-Perot Interferometric Acoustic Sensor With Cavity Length Modulation

    • 摘要: 基于膜片的光纤声传感器通过检测入射声音引起的膜片中心振动位移来实现高灵敏度的声探测。然而,其灵敏度很容易受环境温度变化的影响而降低。尤其是光纤法布里-珀罗(FP)干涉声传感器,温度变化会导致其工作点偏离干涉仪的正交点(Q点)从而对其性能产生较大影响。利用压电传感器(Prezoelectric Transducer,PZT)监测和调制腔长的温度漂移,开发了一种Q点稳定的光纤FP干涉声传感器。Q点稳定是通过反馈抑制麦克风频率响应曲线中的二次谐波分量 I_2f (其中,f为PZT的工作频率)来实现的。实验结果表明,在-10~50 ℃的宽温度范围内, I_2f 与 I_f 之比可以控制在5% 以下,此时声传感器对入射声音信号的响应具有高灵敏度和高保真性。此研究对拓展光纤声传感器实际应用温度范围并维持其高性能工作提供了切实有效的技术方案。

       

      Abstract: Diaphragm-based fiber-optic acoustic sensor achieves high sensitivity by detecting the vibrational displacement of the diaphragm center caused by incident sound. However, their sensitivity can easily be reduced by changes in ambient temperature, especially for fiber-optic Fabry-Perot (FP) interference microphones, as changes in temperature cause their operating point to deviate from the quadrature point (Q-point) of the interferometer. In this paper, by using a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) to monitor and modulate the temperature drift of the cavity length, a Q-point stabilized fiber-optic FP interferometric microphone is developed. The Q-point stabilization is achieved by feedback suppression of the second harmonic component I2f(where f is the operating frequency of PZT) in the microphone frequency response curve. Experimental results show that the ratio of I2f to If can be controlled below 5% in a wide temperature range of -10 ℃ and 50 ℃, and the resulting microphone exhibits high sensitivity and high fidelity to the incident sound signal.
