| description | Optical fiber sensing is a novel sensing technology with the advantages of anti-electromagnetic interference, anti-corrosion and high sensitivity suiting for many special applications. In this paper, a Michelson optical fiber voice monitoring system is introduced and a novel sound extraction algorithm is proposed to improve the noise stability of it. The voice demodulated by a traditional algorithm based on <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$3\times 3$ </tex-math></inline-formula> fiber coupler has unstable background noise intensity with the change of the working point of the interferometer. The unstable noise comes from the shot noise of photodetectors. The sound extraction method proposed in this paper uses the relation between shot noise and light intensity to smooth the unstable noise and does not affect the quality of voice monitoring. Voice monitoring systems using this algorithm have stable monitoring quality without any working point control technology. The fluctuation range of noise intensity in 300~3500 Hz decrease from 10 dB to less than 2 dB compared with the traditional demodulation algorithm. Such a method and system can be widely used in many special voice monitoring application fields such as prison, underground utility tunnel. |
