The interrogation scheme takes advantage of the intensity modulation of narrow spectral bandwidth light, such as distributed feedback laser, when a reflection or transmission spectrum curve of an fiber Bragg grating （FBG） moves due to the strain which is applied on the sensor. The sensor＇s response to accelerating frequency and amplitude is measured by experiment. The factors which have impacts on the sensitivity of the interrogation system are also discussed.展开更多

Ultra-weak fiber Bragg gratings （UWFBG）, whose backward light intensity is 2-4 orders of magnitude higher than that of Rayleigh scattering, are used as the reflection markers. A medium-coherence laser can substitute conventional narrow bandwidth source to achieve an excellent performance of distributed vibration sensing since our unbalanced interferometer matches the interval of UWFBGs. The 3 m of spatial resolution of coherent detection and multiple simultaneous vibration sources locating can be realized based on OTDR. The enhanced signal to noise ratio （SNR） enables fast detection of distributed vibration without averaging. The fastest vibration of 25 kHz and the slowest vibration of 10Hz can be detected with our system successfully, and the linearity is 0.9896 with a maximum deviation of 3.46nε.展开更多

In addition to the vibration signals, the reflected signals include clutters and noises, which lead to a high false alarm rate. The ＂cell averaging＂ constant false alarm rate algorithm has a high computing speed, but its detection performance will be declined in nonhomogeneous environments such as multiple targets. The ＂order statistics＂ constant false alarm rate algorithm has a distinct advantage in multiple target environments, but it has a lower computing speed. An intelligent two-level detection algorithm is presented based on ＂cell averaging＂ constant false alarm rate and ＂order statistics＂ constant false alarm rate which work in serial way, and the detection speed of ＂cell averaging＂ constant false alarm rate and performance of ＂order statistics＂ constant false alarm rate are conserved, respectively. Through the adaptive selection, the ＂cell averaging＂ is applied in homogeneous environments, and the two-level detection algorithm is employed in nonhomogeneous environments. Our Monte Carlo simulation results demonstrate that considering different signal noise ratios, the proposed algorithm gives better detection probability than that of ＂order statistics＂.展开更多
