Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a distributed optical fiber sensing system, in particular to a Brillouin optical coherent reflector based on noise modulation. Background technique [0002] Distributed optical fiber sensing system refers to the system that uses optical fiber as sensing element and transmission element at the same time, which can realize the measurement of temperature and strain at different positions along the length of the entire optical fiber. At present, distributed optical fiber sensing systems can be divided into the following three types: distributed optical fiber sensing systems based on Rayleigh scattering, distributed optical fiber sensing systems based on Raman scattering, distributed optical fiber sensing systems based on Brillouin scattering system. Among them, the distributed optical fiber sensing system based on Brillouin scattering has obvious advantages over the other two distributed optical fiber sensing systems due to its me...
