Abstract
In order to simultaneously detect high-frequency dynamic parameters and low-frequency quasi-static parameters through spectrum acquisition, a novel frequency-scanned parallel phase-shifting interferometry is proposed in this work. A Michelson interferometer (MI) composed of a 3 × 3 coupler is used for high-frequency vibration measurement. Different from conventional 3 × 3 fiber coupler based demodulation methods, a frequency swept laser source with flat intensity output is used. The time-varying vibrations will be encoded on the phase shifted spectra measured at two return ports of the coupler. Using a modified phase shifting algorithm, the optical path difference (OPD) changes along optical frequency can be retrieved, thereby significantly improving the sampling rate of the dynamic MI. Thanks to the full-spectrum scanning, the asymmetric parameters of non-ideal 3 × 3 couplers can be directly measured. Moreover, it provides the possibility of spectral demodulation of multiple quasi-static parameters. Another sensing channel containing multiple fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors is used to achieve quasi-distributed temperature measurement. Experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness in dynamic/static multi-parameter measurement.
