复合材料内部的微小裂纹常会引起后续严重的破坏,因此需要对其进行检测。然而超声探伤复合材料基体裂纹非常困难。本文搭建了一个具有高灵敏度、大带宽的相移光纤光栅超声传感系统,利用此系统探测了在正交铺层碳纤维增强树脂复合材料板中传播的Lamb波。对Lamb波进行数据处理发现,随着三点弯曲实验产生的基体裂纹个数增加,Lamb波的幅值和频谱峰值线性减少。通过和传统压电传感器比较表明,相移光纤光栅传感器测得的Lamb波信号随复合材料基体裂纹数的增加其幅值具有更高的下降速率,表明相移光纤光栅传感器更适合于复合材料基体裂纹的超声探伤。研究表明,新开发的传感系统能够探测到中心频率为300 kHz的微弱超声信号,并能够对碳纤维增强树脂复合材料板中微小基体裂纹个数进行精确评估。

The energy class discrimination of low velocity impacts on composite material structure by Bragg grating sensor technique

The low velocity impacts (LVI) often bring damages which cannot be detected from surface of composite material smart structure. In this paper, Bragg grating sensors were used to discriminate energy classes of LVI on composite material smart structure under constant temperature. The energy discrimination was realized by means of this characteristic that the center wave-lengths of Bragg grating sensors on composite structure under LVI are determined by strain. By analyzing the frequency spectrums of LVI signals captured by optic fiber grating demodulator, a threshold for distinguishing energy classes can be figured out after calculating frequency spectrum peak values of all energy classes. The experimental results indicate that Bragg grating sensors can be used for monitoring impacts and discriminate the energy classes of LVI on composite material structure.

Demodulation of fiber bragg grating sensors based on dynamic tuning of a multimode laser diode

Dither demodulation of fiber Bragg grating sensors illuminated with multimode light from laser diodes is theoretically and experimentally investigated. Quasi-static temperature and strain sensitivities of 0.09 degrees C/ radical Hz and 0.6 microepsilon/ radical Hz are obtained. We show that it is possible to measure small ac signals that lie outside the feedback loop bandwidth by using a synchronous detection referenced to twice the dither frequency. In this situation, dynamic strain sensitivity of 3.3 n(epsilon)/ radical Hz is achieved.     

Acousto-optic superlattice modulation in fiber Bragg gratings

The superposition of a long-period grating and a fiber Bragg grating, which we call an optical superlattice, causes high-efficiency narrow-band reflections to be induced on either side of the Bragg wavelength. This effect was recently observed experimentally in a fiber-based acousto-optic superlattice modulator. We develop in detail the theory of optical superlattices in fiber Bragg gratings, treating both the acousto-optic and the fixed-grating cases. Applications include reconfigurable wavelength division multiplexers, fiber lasers and sensors, tunable filters, modulators, and frequency shifters.     

Response of fiber Bragg gratings to longitudinal ultrasonic waves

In the last years, fiber optic sensors have been widely exploited for several sensing applications, including static and dynamic strain measurements up to acoustic detection. Among these, fiber Bragg grating sensors have been indicated as the ideal candidate for practical structural health monitoring in light of their unique advantages over conventional sensing devices. Although this class of sensors has been successfully tested for static and low-frequency measurements, the identification of sensor performances for high-frequency detection, including acoustic emission and ultrasonic investigations, is required. To this aim, the analysis of feasibilty on the use of fiber Bragg grating sensors as ultrasonic detectors has been carried out. In particular, the response of fiber Bragg gratings subjected to the longitudinal ultrasonic (US) field has been theoretically and numerically investigated. Ultrasonic field interaction has been modeled, taking into account the direct deformation of the grating pitch combined with changes in local refractive index due to the elasto-optic effect. Numerical results, obtained for both uniform and Gaussian-apodized fiber Bragg gratings, show that the grating spectrum is strongly influenced by the US field in terms of shape and central wavelength. In particular, a key parameter affecting the grating response is the ratio between the US wavelength and the grating length. Normal operation characterized by changes in wavelength of undistorted Bragg peak is possible only for US wavelengths longer than the grating length. For US wavelengths approaching the grating length, the wavelength change is accompanied by subpeaks formation and main peak amplitude modulation. This effect can be attributed to the nonuniformity of the US perturbation along the grating length. At very high US frequencies, the grating is not sensitive any longer. The results of this analysis provide useful tools for the design of grating-based ultrasound sensors for meeting specific requirements in terms of field intensity and frequencies.     

Fiber-optic Bragg gratings as magnetic field-insensitive strain sensors for the surveillance of cryogenic devices

While conventional electrical resistance strain gages show increasing cross-sensitivities to temperature and magnetic field with decreasing temperature down to liquid helium, it has been found that fiber-optic Bragg grating strain sensors show negligible thermo-optic and magneto-optic effects in cryogenic environments; therefore, they allow reliable strain measurements. These specific application advantages of optical fiber Bragg grating sensors at low temperatures, together with the electrical isolation and low electro-magnetic interference, low thermal conductivity and their multiplexing capability, make them attractive for structural health monitoring in cryogenic devices such as superconductive magnets. In this paper we present low temperature characteristics of fiber Bragg grating-based sensors and address application-based side effects such as induced birefringence.
