Problems solved by technology

If the pulse width of the pulse excitation light is too wide, the spatial resolution and measurement accuracy of the distributed optical fiber sensing system will be reduced; and due to the influence of the phonon lifetime, when the pulse width of the single pulse optical signal injected into the fiber is lower than 10ns will significantly reduce the sensing distance of the sensing system

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Such as figure 1 As shown, the continuous light with a central wavelength of 1550.00nm output by the narrow linewidth laser 1 passes through the optical isolator 2 and then is adjusted into linearly polarized light by the polarization controller 3. The linearly polarized light is input from the optical input end of the EOIM 4, and the EOIM 4 Driven by the adjustable DC voltage source 5 and the pulse modulation signal generation module 6, the narrow linewidth continuous laser light is modulated into pulsed light and output from its optical output port. The pulsed light is amplified by the EDFA 7 and then properly processed by the optical attenuator 8 Attenuation so that the pulsed light power is within the detectable light power range of the photodetector 9, and the pulsed light becomes an electrical signal that is easy to receive after photoelectric conversion and then input to the multi-channel oscilloscope 10 for waveform display;
