摘要
Based on the radio frequency (RF) demodulation technique, a novel dual-wavelength fiber laser sensor is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. A beat sensing signal, which is generated by the coherently mixing output of a dual-wavelength laser in a high frequency photodetector, has been obtained and demodulated by a radio-frequency spectrum analyzer (RFSA). By employing a LiNbO(3) modulator, high-frequency beat signal can be tuned arbitrarily to tens or hundreds of megahertz without distortion and thus a low-frequency RFSA can be used. When a strain is applied on the laser sensor, the detected beat signals will be shifted with a strain sensitivity of about -8.11 kHz/mu epsilon.
