Abstract

The invention relates to the field of distributed fiber sensing, specifically a single-end chaotic Brillouin optical time-domain analysis distributed fiber sensing device and method. The device and method solve problems that there is an irreconcilable conflict between the measurement distance and spatial resolution when a conventional Brillouin optical time-domain analysis distributed fiber sensing device employs an optical pulse signal as a detection signal, and the application range is limited because a sensing system is broken down and cannot work during the appearing of a break point in a sensing fiber because of a double-end mode. The device and method employs a chaotic laser signal to replace the optical pulse signal, achieves the measurement and positioning of the temperature or strain of an optical fiber, and employs a single-end BOTDA (Brillouin optical time-domain analysis) sensing system. The device and method can avoid the conflict between the sensing distance and spatial resolution in a conventional Brillouin optical time-domain analysis distributed fiber sensing system, and solves a limit problem that a double-end BOTDA sensing system cannot work normally when the break point appears in the optical fiber.
