Problems solved by technology

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the existing distributed optical fiber sensing system needs a plurality of lasers with different wavelengths, the cost is high, but the performance is not high, and the use of optical fiber delay lines also has relatively large disadvantages. One is to use different The length of the optical fiber for pulse delay requires precise control of the length of the fiber, and it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the pulse delay interval. The second is that the use of optical fiber to delay optical pulses limits the pulse delay time on the hardware and reduces the flexibility of the system.

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-performance distributed optical fiber sensing system and method. The system comprises a multi-wavelength narrow linewidth light source, a modulation unit, a splitter, a wavelength division multiplexer, a wavelength division demultiplexer, a circulator, a sensing optical fiber, a demodulation module and an upper computer. The continuous light emitted by the multi-wavelength narrow-linewidth laser is modulated by using the sweep-frequency filter or the multi-path signal generator, asynchronous modulation among wavelengths is realized by controlling the sweep-frequency rate of the sweep-frequency filter or the multi-path signal generator to trigger the modulator in a parallel time delay manner, and the pulse interval, the pulse width and the pulse repetition frequency are flexible and adjustable. And the demultiplexer and the wavelength division multiplexer are utilized to realize multi-channel synchronous sensing, so that the measurement efficiency is improved. Pulse light with multiple wavelengths is used as detection light to enter a sensing optical fiber, information carried by Rayleigh scattering signals under each wavelength is demodulated, and the signals are comprehensively processed. According to the invention, system complexity is reduced, and system performance is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of distributed optical fiber sensing systems, in particular to a high-performance distributed optical fiber sensing system and method. Background technique [0002] After decades of vigorous development, optical fiber sensing technology has been successfully applied in many fields, such as structural health monitoring, oil and gas exploration and other fields. In the distributed optical fiber sensing system, the optical fiber can not only be used as the transmission medium of the optical fiber, but also when the light propagates in the optical fiber, the characteristic parameters (amplitude, phase, polarization state, wavelength, etc.) that characterize the light wave are affected by external factors (such as temperature, pressure, magnetic field, electric field, displacement, etc.), the demodulation module demodulates the external effect. [0003] According to different measurement methods, optical fiber s...
