The method comprises: a. injecting an optical signal with determined polarization state into the optical fiber; b. receiving the back rayleigh scattering light in the optical fiber; c. diving the rayleigh scattering light into two bundles to perform the Phi-OTDR data acquisition and the POTDR data acquisition; d. determining the destabilization and position thereof based on the distortion points of the Phi-OTDR data and the POTDR data. The invention also discloses an optical fiber destabilization detecting device. The technical scheme of the invention is used for monitoring and protecting the optical cable lines, thereby greatly improving the precision and the sensitivity of the monitoring system and reducing the erroneous judgment rate and the missing report rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber sensor, in particular to an optical fiber disturbance detection method and a distributed optical fiber sensing system based on the combination of a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflection method and a polarization-sensitive optical time-domain reflection method. Background technique [0002] With the development of optical fiber communication, especially the rapid development of backbone transmission network, passive optical network and optical fiber access technology, the role of optical fiber cable in the field of communication is becoming more and more important. In today's information age, the accidental interruption of communication caused by the destruction of optical fiber and optical cable will cause immeasurable losses. According to reports, from 2003 to June 2006, there were 61,930 cases of theft and damage of communication optical cables in China Netcom alone. , including 29,364 major cases, c...
