Coherent continuous light from source 5 propagates in one direction along the measurement and reference paths of the interferometer to detector 10 and light pulses from source 7 propagate along the measurement path only, in the direction opposite to that in which the continuous light propagates to produce transient variations in the propagation constant (or phase change co-efficient) of the optical fibre at points therealong according to the temperature or pressure at said points. The resultant output from the interferometer, varies with respect to time in dependence upon the temperature or pressure at distributed points along the measurement optical fibre path. <IMAGE>
Description
IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO OPTICAL FIBRE SENSING
ARRANGEMENTS
This invention relates to optical fibre sensing arrangements for measuring or monitoring temperatures or pressures distributed over a predetermined path.
It is known to measure temperature distribution along an optical fibre extending over a predetermined path by the use of so-called optical time domain reflectometry techniques in which an intense pulse of laser light is launched into one end of the fibre and the variations with tint of back-scattered light (or fluorescent light produced by the laser light pulses acting on temperaturedependent fluorescence of dopant contained within the fibre) received at the launch end of the optical fibre are measured for determining the temperature distribution along the fibre.
It is also known in the measurement of temperature distribution along an optical fibre to launch an intense (pump) pulse of light into an optical fibre extending over a predetermined path so that the pulse propagates along the fibre in the opposite direction to that in which a continuous wave optical signal is propagating and to make use of Raman amplification of the intensity of the continuous wave optical signal by the pump light pulse in determining the amplitude variations which occur in the continuous wave signal detected at the far end of the optical fibre and which are dependent on pressure or temperature variations along the optical fibre.
The present invention is based on the realisation that much improved sensitivity of temperature or pressure optical fibre sensing arrangements can be achieved by using an optical fibre sensing system comprising an optical interferometer, having measurement and reference optical paths, the measurement path comprising an optical fibre extending over the path along which distributed temperature or pressure is to measured, continuous wave light generating means for producing coherent continuous wave light which propagates in one direction along the measurement and reference 1paths of the interferometer, pulse light generating means for producing light pulses which propagate along the measurement path only in the direction opposite to that in which the continuous wave light propagates to produce transient variations in the propagation constant (or phase change co-efficient) of the optical fibre at points therealong according to the temperature or pressure at said points, and detector means for detecting the resultant output from the interferometer, which will vary with time in dependence upon the temperature or pressure at distributed points along the measurement optical fibre path.
The interferometer of the optical sensing arrangement may comprise a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with the continuous wave light produced by the continuous wave light generating means propagating in one direction only along parallel measurement and reference paths the outputs from which are combined before being applied to the detector means.
Alternatively, the interferometer may be a Michelson reflective interferometer with the continuous wave light propagating along the measurement and reference paths being reflected back along said paths before the reflected outputs from the paths are combined and applied to the detector means.
In carrying out the present invention the so-called propagation constant (or phase change co-efficient) of the optical fibre may be caused to vary in dependence upon temperature or pressure at points along the fibre by the choice of a suitable optical fibre composition and optical wavelength of the light pulses propagating along the measurement optical fibre path. According to one sensing arrangement envisaged use may be made of the so-called optical Kerr Effect. Due to the optical Kerr Effect the refractive index of the optical fibre at points therealong encountered by the continuous wave propagating along the fibre will be varied by the light pulses as they reach said points from the opposite direction in accordance with -the temperature of the fibre at said points.Since the optical Kerr Effect is temperature dependent, the detected changes in the output signal from the interferometer as a
function of time will proviae an indication of the
temperature distribution along the optical fibre.
According to another sensing arrangement envisaged the measurement optical fibre may be doped to provide a
temperature-dependent absorption co-efficient, whereby variations in the absorption of light along the fibre due
to different temperatures give rise to changes in refractive index of the fibre as the light pulses travel therealong, these changes in refractive index producing changes in the detected output from the interferometer.
When the optical fibre sensing arrangement according to the invention is to be used to measure pressures at points along the optical fibre, pressure-responsive refractive index changes to the fibre will be provided for
in response to the propagation of the light pulses along the optical fibre.
The reference path of the interferometer preferably comprises an optical fibre separate from the measurement optical fibre, but it should be understood that the reference fibre could be provided by the same optical fibre as the measurement fibre by using a separate mode of propagation for the reference path. For example, the measurement and reference paths could be provided by using separate polarisation modes in the same fibre.
Alternatively, the reference path could be a free-space path.
By way of example the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 shows one form of optical fibre temperature sensing arrangement according to the invention;
Figure 2 shows different waveforms appertaining to the sensing arrangement of Figure 1; and Figure 3 shows another form of optical fibre sensing arrangement according to the invention
Referring to Figure 1 the optical temperature sensing arrangement depicted comprises a simple homodyne
Mach-Zehnder interferometer, comprising a measurement optical fibre 1 having connected in parallel therewith a reference optical fibre 2. Suitable optical couplers (3 and 4) will be provided where the two paths 1 and 2 diverge and are combined at the two ends of the interferometer.
A continuous wave signal source 5 is provided for generating coherent continuous wave optical signals 6 which will propagate in parallel along the measurement and optical fibres 1 and 2. A pulsed (pump) laser light source 7 is provided for producing light pulses 8, which are launched into the measurement optical fibre 1 through a suitable optical coupler 9, so that they propagate along the fibre in the opposite direction to that in which the continuous wave optical signals 6 are propagating. The wavelength of the light pulses 8 and the composition of the measurement optical fibre 1 are such that, due to the optical Kerr Effect, the light pulses 8 transmitted along the fibre modify the refractive index of the fibre to varying degrees, according to the temperature of the optical fibre at points therealong.
The output from the interferometer representing the resultant of the optical signals propagating along the fibre 1 which may be subjected to variable temperatures throughout its length and the reference fibre 2 which will be maintained at a substantially constant temperature throughout its length, is applied to a detector 10 which will detect variations in the interferometer output due to phase shifts occurring in the continuous wave signal resulting from variations in refractive index of the fibre 1 along its length.
Referring to Figure 2 of the drawings, this shows at (a) the optical power waveform of the pulses 8 from the laser (pump) light source 7 of Figure 1 and at (b) and (c), respectively, the detected phase difference produced in the interferometer when the measurement fibre is at a constant temperature and when the measurement fibre is at variable temperatures along its length.
In practice, some means of maintaining phase quadrature between the two optical signals in the reference and measurement fibres 1 and 2 will generally be necessary before the light pulses 8 from the source 7 are launched in order to set the arrangement to the point of maximum sensitivty. In addition, an optical amplitude reference will normally be required in order to prevent sensitivity to undesired variations in the continuous wave light source intensity. A simple addition to the interferometer would be to connect a second detector, such as that shown at 11 in Figure 1, into the system by using a suitable optical fibre directional coupler of the output to the interferometer and to monitor the ratio of the outputs of the two detectors 10 and 11.
The use of polarisation-maintaining fibres for the measurement and reference fibres 1 and 2 and couplers will reduce any variations in the system of Figure 1 due to changes in the polarisation state in the optical fibres.
Referring now to Figure 3 of the drawings this shows an optical fibre temperature or pressure sensing arrangement which utilises a Michelson interferometer.
The arrangement comprises a continuous wave signal source 12 which produces continuous wave signals 13 which propagate along measurement and reference optical fibres 14 and 15 after passing through a directional optical coupler 16. A pulsed (pump) laser light source 17 produces light pulses 18 which are launched into the measurement optical fibre 15 though an optical coupler 19.
These light pulses propagate along the measurement optical fibre 14 in a direction opposite to that in which the continuous wave light is propagating.
As in the Figure 1 arrangement the wavelength of the light pulses 18 and the composition of the measurement optical fibre 14 may be such that the pulses modify the refraction index of the optical fibre to varying degrees according to the temperature of the optical fibre at points therealong. These variations in refractive index produce transient variations in the propagation contant or phase change coeficient of the optical fibre at points therealong. Thus phase changes with respect to time will be produced in the continuous wave signals propagating along the measurement fibre 14 according to the distributed temperature along the fibre 14.
In this embodiment the continuous wave signals propagating along the optical fibres 14 and 15 are reflected back along the fibres from the ends of the latter and the reflected signals are combined by means of the directional coupler 16 before being applied to a detector 20. The detector 20 serves to detect time-displaced phase changes in the reflected continuous wave signals due to variations in the refractive index of the optical fibre 14 along its length due to changes in temperature of the fibre. The reference fibre 15 will be maintained at a constant temperature throughout its length and the reflected signal therein will serve as a reference signal for the detector 20 in measuring the temperature distribution along the measurement fibre 14. It may here be mentioned that the main advantage of the present invention over the previously referred to known optical time domain reflectometry techniques is the substantial increase in sensitivity. Consequently, such interferometric sensing arrangements enable variations due to effects with only weak temperature or pressure dependence to be monitored, or, more especially, the use of complex electronics for signal averaging of the otherwise weak detected signals may be avoided.
