Problems solved by technology

[0005] Comprehensive analysis of fiber optic Brillouin temperature distribution sensing systems at home and abroad. The light source uses narrow linewidth lasers and obtains the required optical pulses through external modulation. The system is too complicated and very expensive, which greatly increases the cost of temperature detection.

Embodiment Construction

[0024] The present invention proposes based on the following principles:

[0025] For ordinary LD, its output spectrum is composed of many spectral lines, and the wider the light source spectrum is, the higher the stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold is, the greater the input power allowed by the sensing system is, and the stronger the Brillouin signal is. This common light source can reduce Rayleigh coherent noise, so a better system signal-to-noise ratio can be obtained. LD output spectrum as figure 1 As shown, the output power calculation formula is given by (1), where i is the serial number of the output spectral line.

Abstract

The invention provides an environmental temperature measurement method based on an optical fiber Rayleigh and Brillouin principle. An optical fiber sensing system is composed of a semiconductor laser device, a circulator, a photoelectric detector and a sensing optical cable. In a measurement process, pulse light sent out by the semiconductor laser device is injected into the sensing optical cable through the circulator, back side Rayleigh scattering and Brillouin scattering signals of the sensing optical cable are received from the circulator by the photoelectric detector, so that heterodyne frequency mixing is carried out on the signals in the photoelectric detector; then, an output signal of the photoelectric detector is used for determining a Rayleigh frequency shift of each point on the sensing optical cable; and finally, the temperature of each point on an optical fiber is calculated by utilizing a relation model between the Rayleigh frequency shift and the temperature, so as to realize temperature measurement. Compared with the conventional method, the requirement on a light source line width is reduced, an external modulating unit is saved, the system structure is simplified, the system cost is reduced and the system performance is improved.
