Problems solved by technology

Because the discrete Brillouin spectrum obtained by frequency sweeping is not extracted from the same Brillouin spectrum, and each frequency point has a time order, therefore, the Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer using the frequency sweeping method is far from Cannot realize dynamic measurement of temperature and stress

Abstract

The invention provides a brillouin optical time domain reflectormeter method and a device based on a parallel data processing technique. The temperature and / or stress of each position along a measured optical fiber are measured through detection for changes of brillouin scattering spectra center frequency returned through a detection optical pulse in the measured optical fiber. Brillouin scattered light signals are coherent with single-frequency local oscillation light to produce coherent medium-frequency signals, and therefore the brillouin scattered signals are changed into brillouin electric frequency spectra from optical spectra. High-speed signal collection and parallel data processing schemes are adopted in the measurement of the brillouin electric frequency spectra, and accordingly complete brillouin spectra are obtained in each detection pulse cycle. Dynamic measurement for the temperature and / or the stress of each position along the measured optical fiber is benefited.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a distributed optical fiber sensing method and device for monitoring temperature and / or stress by using the spontaneous Burrillouin scattering effect in the optical fiber, and belongs to the field of sensing technology. Background technique [0002] The transmission of single-frequency light pulses in the optical fiber will generate self-Brillouin scattered light, part of which will return along the optical fiber, and this part of the Brillouin signal is called the back Brillouin scattered signal. The Brillouin signal is Lorentzian, and its 3dB bandwidth is about 35MHz in ordinary single-mode fiber, and the continuous range of the spectrum is greater than 200MHz, so the Brillouin scattering signal is also called the Brillouin scattering spectrum. The Brillouin scattering spectrum in the fiber is sensitive to the temperature and stress at the scattering position on the fiber, and the change of temperature and stress will cause t...
