Method and device for suppressing phase noise in remote optical fiber interference system with optical path difference matching

Abstract

The invention relates to an optical fiber sensing technology and provides a method and device for suppressing phase noise of a long-distance optical fiber interference system based on optical path difference matching so as to solve the problems that the input power of the existing long-distance optical fiber interference system is limited and the phase noise of the existing long-distance optical fiber interference system is increased under the stimulated Brillouin scattering effect. The device comprises a single-frequency laser, an electro-optic phase modulator, a signal source, an erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier, a transmission optical fiber, a matching interferometer, a photoelectric detector and a signal acquisition and processing device. A laser is output by the single-frequency laser and modulated by the electro-optic phase modulator to generate a multi-frequency laser, the multi-frequency laser is amplified by the erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier and input into the matching interferometer by the transmission optical fiber, and a signal is output of the matching interferometer, detected by the photoelectric detector and processed by the signal acquisition and processing device. Suppression on the stimulated Brillouin scattering effect is achieved through the phase modulation technology, the phase noise of the system is reduced through signal frequency phase modulation and interferometer optical path difference matching, and the maximum input power and sensing distance of the system are increased.
