Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber sensing system, more specifically, to a polarization state optical fiber vibration sensing system based on time division multiplexing. Background technique [0002] The optical fiber vibration sensing system based on POTDR sensing technology is a new type of sensor that achieves the purpose of distributed optical fiber sensing by detecting the polarization state change in the optical fiber. Because it can detect weak stress changes, it has a wide application prospect. [0003] With the implementation of the urban high-voltage cable laying project from the air to the ground, the current urban power transmission lines basically use the form of underground tunnels to transport electricity. It is more and more important to monitor the safety and health of urban power transmission network, find faults in time, and ensure the normal operation of society. However, the on-site environment of the cable tunnel is very h...

Problems solved by technology

However, the site environment of the cable tunnel is very harsh, and conventional security alarm equipment cannot be applied at all.

On-site environmental conditions: 1) After long-term use of the underground cable trench, it is easy to accumulate water and silt, and conventional electronic equipment cannot work for a long time in such a harsh environment; 2) There is no 220VAC power supply in the cable tunnel, and conventional electronic equipment cannot supply power. And due to the harsh environment in the underground cable trench, long-distance 220VAC power supply is also likely to cause leakage hazards
