Problems solved by technology

When there is only one distinct peak, spatially larger temperatures / strains in some small areas will go undetected, creating an accident hazard
Therefore, the traditional detection method makes the detection rate of the BOTDR system slow, the dynamic characteristics are poor, and the spatial resolution is also limited.

Embodiment Construction

[0009] Such as figure 1 As shown, the present invention is realized in this way, the narrow-linewidth light source 1, 1:2 coupler 2, acousto-optic frequency shifter 3, electro-optic modulator 4, erbium-doped fiber amplifier 5 and optical circulator 6 are connected in sequence, 1: 2 The coupler 2 and the optical circulator 6 are respectively connected to the 3dB coupler 7, and the 3dB coupler 7 is connected to the balanced receiver 8, and the balanced receiver 8 is connected to a comb electric filter formed by several electric filters 9, and the electric filter 9 inputs computer10. Taking the BOTDR system using pump light pulses with a pulse width of 10ns as an example, the optical signal output by the narrow linewidth light source is divided into two, one is used as pump light, and the other is used as local oscillator light. The frequency of the pump light is changed from becomes ( It is the frequency shift generated by the acousto-optic frequency shifting device), and...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a BOTDR system device based on a comb electric filter. Background technique [0002] In time-domain distributed Brillouin fiber sensing, there are mainly two types of methods, one is a system based on stimulated Brillouin scattering, and the other is a system based on spontaneous Brillouin scattering. The former is called BOTDA ( The full name is Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis Technology), and the latter is called BOTDR (full name is Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometer). Compared with BOTDA, BOTDR system is easier to implement and has a simple structure, but its measurement accuracy is low and its measurement distance is short. [0003] In BOTDR, temperature and strain are measured by measuring the power and frequency shift of spontaneous Brillouin scattering. In the BOTDR system, in order to measure the Brillouin frequency shift, methods such as F-P cavity scanning and edge filtering are generally used, but t...
