The invention provides a phi-OTDR quadrature phase
demodulation system and phase
demodulation method.
Laser of a narrow linewidth
laser device is split by an
optical fiber coupler, a large beam is connected into an acoustic
optical modulator as sensing light, a modulated
frequency shift is delivered into sensing
optical fiber, a small beam is used as reference light, sensing light returned by a
circulator is subjected to
heterodyne coherence in a 2*2
optical fiber coupler, is then split into two beams of identical
signal light to be converted into an
electric signal through a balanced probe and is divided into two circuits through a power divider after being filtered, and after one circuit is delayed by an electric adjustable
delay chip, the two circuits of electric signals are mixed with a sinusoidal
signal with the frequency of fc sent by a
signal generating module in a mixer separately and are then sent into a control center through a low-pass filter and an analog-
digital conversion module to obtain phase information of a sensor
light signal. According to the Phi-OTDR quadrature phase
demodulation system and phase demodulation method, an interferometer does not need to be introduced, and additional environment
noise cannot be introduced; complex high-speed
data acquisition and
processing are not needed, the
system is simple, the price is low, and the system and method are more suitable for
engineering application.
