Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a dynamic distributed Brillouin optical fiber sensing device and method, belonging to the field of optics. Background technique [0002] Distributed dynamic sensing technology is used for distributed monitoring of transient signals. This sensing technology can realize fast and real-time measurement of the stress information of the monitored object. This sensing technology can be used to monitor the health status of infrastructure such as bridges, and can also be used to study the impact of external transient conditions such as explosions and earthquakes on the structure of the monitored object. In the traditional Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) technology, the frequency scanning speed is lower than the signal change, which makes the traditional BOTDA technology only suitable for the monitoring of steady-state signals, not suitable for transient signals. The existing BOTDA technology that can be used to measure ...
