Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to a distributed real-time monitoring system and method using optical time domain reflection and optical fiber gratings. Background technique [0002] Distributed optical fiber sensing is a new type of real-time on-line monitoring technology that has gradually grown along with the needs of the society. The basic principle is to use an optical fiber to transmit and sense signals at the same time. Combined with advanced signal processing technology, it can detect up to dozens of Physical quantities such as temperature and strain at different positions of kilometers of optical fiber to achieve true distributed measurement. The unique advantages of optical fiber, such as light weight, anti-electromagnetic interference, and anti-corrosion, have also made distributed optical fiber sensors favored by many researchers and application units, and great progress has been made in ...

Problems solved by technology

Many research institutions and companies at home and abroad have conducted a lot of research and development on it. At present, the main difficulty is how to accurately and quickly demodulate the center wavelength of each fiber Bragg grating, and monitor the shift of the center wavelength of each fiber Bragg grating in real time. In order to accurately reflect the measured changes of the outside world; secondly, because each fiber grating requires a cert...
