The optical chirped signal light enters the injection-locked laser through the optical circulator. The injection-locked laser has the functions of filtering, amplifying and ensuring the same output amplitude at different frequencies. The injection-locked laser filters out the lower sideband as the reference light and outputs it through the optical circulator.

Abstract

The invention discloses a single-end fast distributed Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer based on an optical chirp chain, relates to the technology of the single-end fast measurement of the strain and temperature of distributed optical fibers, and aims at solving a problem that a conventional Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer is long in measurement time. According to the invention, one path of light is modulated into pulsed light through a first electrooptical modulator, and the pulsed light is amplified by an erbium-doped optic fiber amplifier as pump light, enabling the pump light to sequentially pass through a first port and a second port of a circulator, and then inputting the light through one end of a to-be-tested optical fiber. The other path of light is modulatedinto optical chirp signal light through a second electrooptical modulator, and the lower sideband of the optical chirp signal light is filtered by a first filter as reference light. A spontaneous Brillouin signal outputted by the circulator and the reference light perform the beat frequency operation, and a balance detector detects a beat frequency signal and performs the photoelectric conversion. An electric signal is filtered and detected by a filter detection module, and a collection module collects an output signal of the filter detection module. The Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer is suitable for the measurement of superfast single-end distributed Brillouin temperature and strain.
