Abstract
The ability of distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) fiber laser sensor in dual-frequency ultrasound (DFUS) measurement has been demonstrated. The influences of DFUS pressure on fiber grating laser sensor were theoretically analyzed, considering the effects of relative distance of the ultrasound field and the amplitude of the DFUS on the degrees of birefringence modulation. In experiment, the birefringence in sensing fiber was modulated by ultrasound signals at 3Â MHz and 5Â MHz, and the test distance and driving voltage were set respectively according to the ultrasound frequency. Agreement between theoretical and experimental results was obtained for ultrasound wave propagating from different distances (40Â mm to 10Â mm) and different DFUS driving voltage (5Â V to 20Â V). The results demonstrate that the DBR fiber grating laser acoustic sensor has a multi-frequency ultrasound recognizable ability, offering a potential for ultrasound medicine and biology
