双Mach-Zehnder光纤干涉传感系统中的偏振衰落控制
首发时间:2012-01-19
摘要:偏振衰落现象导致的信号关联的二义性一直是分布式双Mach-Zehnder光纤干涉传感系统实现高精度定位的难点。为了保持系统检测信号的稳定性,本文利用系统的偏振模型分析了偏振衰落的来源,指出传感光纤偏振特性的不一致性使系统检测信号对输入偏振态敏感是造成信号相关性恶化的根本原因,据此提出对输入偏振态进行偏振控制可实现消偏振衰落的目的。在此基础上通过分析输入偏振态的两个参量对信号相关系数的作用效果进一步明确了偏振控制对算法能力的要求,并利用模拟退火算法作为偏振控制算法进行验证。现场实验表明该算法可实现对偏振态工作点的快速搜索,持续稳定系统检测信号的相关性;结果证实该偏振衰落控制方法切实、有效。

Polarization fading control for dual Mach-Zehnder fiber interferometric sensing system
Abstract:In the dual Mach-Zehnder fiber interferometric sensing system, the high locating accuracy is hardly obtained due to the discrepancy of two detection signals resulting from polarization fading. To keep the stability of the detection signals, the optical polarization model is established to analyze the origin of polarization fading in the system. Because of the inconsistency of the polarization characteristics between two sensing fibers, the input polarization affects the detection signals, which is the basic reason for the degeneracy of the detection signals’ correlation. Based on the analysis, the solution of controlling the input polarization to eliminate polarization fading is put forward. The requirements of polarization control are further determined by analyzing the relation between the signal correlation coefficient and two parameters of input polarization, and Simulated Annealing is applied to verify this theory. Field test results show that, the algorithm can make a fast search for the working point of polarization state, and maintain a steady signal correlation. It is proved that the polarization fading control method is feasible and effective.
