technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to a phase demodulation device and method for an optical fiber vibration sensor based on dual-wavelength regression analysis. Background technique [0002] Optical fiber has outstanding advantages such as small size, light weight, intrinsic passive safety, etc., and many sensors such as fiber optic accelerometers, fiber optic hydrophones, and fiber optic gyroscopes using this as a medium have developed rapidly. Among them, fiber optic vibration sensors are being studied in depth as an important part of the new generation of vibration sensing systems, and are expected to play an irreplaceable role in geological disaster early warning, hydroacoustic sonar monitoring and other fields.

Problems solved by technology

At present, most interferometric fiber optic vibration sensors still use single-wavelength interferometric phase demodulation technology. The limitation of this technology is that the optical path difference between two adjacent points cannot change more than half of the wavelength value, so a high sampling rate is required. This has high requirements on the data acquisition system, especially in the long-distance distributed optical fiber vibration sensing system with thousands of fiber grating sensors in series, which greatly increases the load on the phase demodulation system

Subsequently, J.Gass et al. proposed a synthetic wavelength phase demodulation technique (Gass J, Dakoff A, KimM K.Phase imaging without 2πambiguity by multiwavelength digital holography[J]. Optics Letters,2003,28(13):1141-3 .), that is, two sets of interference signals are o
