Abstract

The invention discloses a ultra-long-range (ULR) full-distributed optical Rayleigh and Raman scattering sensor fused with an optical Raman frequency shifter. Based on an optical Raman frequency shift theory and an optical Rayleigh and Raman fusion scattering sensing theory, an optical Raman frequency shifter is adopted, and an integrated optical wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) and an optical time domain reflection (OTDR) principle are utilized to locate landmarks. The sensor comprises an optical pulse laser, the optical Raman frequency shifter composed of single mode fibers (SMF) and 1660mn bandpass filters, an integrated optical wavelength-division multiplexer, a sensor fiber, a photoelectric receiving module, a digital signal processor (DSP) and a computer. The sensor has the advantages of low cost, long service life, good signal to noise ratio (SNR) and good reliability, is simple in structure, and is applied to monitoring petrochemical pipes, tunnels, large civil engineering in 15-60km of long range and ultra long range and monitoring hazard forecast.
