Abstract

The present invention relates to an optical fiber distribution type detecting method and the like equipped with a structure for enabling efficient measurement of a temperature distribution or strain distribution. This method regulates a modulation frequency and modulation index for probe light and pumping light opposingly incident on an object from a light source and a phase difference between the probe light and pumping light, thereby successively setting the length and location of search domains in a region to be measured. In particular, a detection process is executed while resetting the search domain length shorter at a predetermined interval of time or when an abnormality is detected. Thus partly changing the distance resolution for a specific region in the course of the detection process enables efficient measurement operations in a short time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber distributed sensor and an optical fiber distributed detection method for detecting the temperature change or deformation change of the optical fiber by using the Brillouin scattered light output from the optical fiber. Background technique [0002] The shape of the Brillouin gain spectrum (hereinafter referred to as BGS) of the Brillouin scattered light output from the optical fiber varies with the temperature and deformation of the optical fiber. Techniques for measuring temperature and deformation using such changes are known. [0003] As a technique for measuring BGS of Brillouin scattered light, for example, BOCDA (Brillouin Optical Correlation Domain Analysis) is known (see Non-Patent Document 1). In this BOCDA, probe light and pump light modulated with the same modulation frequency and modulation index are made to face each other from different ends of the optical fiber. At this time, BOCDA scans the di...
