Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional Φ-OTDR technology approximates the optical phase change directly through the light intensity, which is easily affected by the fluctuation of the light intensity itself and the laser intensity noise (Relative Intensity noise, RIN)

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical fiber sensing and safety protection, in particular to a distributed optical fiber sensing device and method based on phase demodulation and super large dynamic range. Background technique [0002] In 1993, Φ-OTDR (Phase sensitive Opitcal Time Domain Reflector) technology was invented by Professor Taylor of American Agricultural and Mechanical University (US5194847). Since its invention, this technology has attracted the attention of distributed sensing researchers and companies from all over the world. Φ-OTDR technology indirectly realizes the detection of intrusion signals through the detection intensity. [0003] For Φ-OTDR technology, if the long-distance distributed sensing of 80Km is to be realized, the detection circuit needs to have a dynamic range of 32dB in total based on the loss calculation of 0.2dB / Km. If the detection distance is longer, a larger dynamic range is required. This places very h...
