Holographie adaptative pour la réalisation de capteurs à fibres optiques de très grande sensibilité : application à la détection d’ondes acoustiques sous-marines

摘要

Fiber optic sensors are a key technology for future developments with a large field of applications ranging from structure health monitoring to medical applications. Due to its high compactness, its electromagnetic immunity and the low transmission losses in the telecom window, optical fibers are very promising for underwater acoustic waves detection. We present a method relying on adaptive holographic interferometry based on two beam coupling in an optically addressed spatial light modulator (OASLM). This method allows filtering the slow phase perturbations coming from the environment directly on the sensing optical fiber. In this work, we will first introduce the OASLM operating at 1,55 μm that we have manufactured and the realization of an adaptive holographic interferometer based on this component. Moreover, we will show that it is possible to associate this demodulation method with a multimode optical fiber to reach a better sensitivity. Finally, we will focus on sensors architectures to evaluate the benefit of this technology compared to conventional techniques.
