Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical fiber sensing technology, and in particular to an optical fiber sensing system and method for multi-channel telemetry. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of optical fiber technology, optical fiber sensing technology has been applied and developed in many fields. Among them, distributed optical fiber sensing is unique in sensing technology. It integrates transmission and sensing, and can achieve high-density temperature, strain, vibration, and sound wave fully distributed measurement for hundreds of kilometers. It has irreplaceable advantages and is therefore widely used. In traditional distributed vibration sensing systems, when the sensing optical fiber is subjected to a vibration signal of a certain frequency, the signal can be demodulated by detecting the phase change of the backscattered light signal light received by the vibration sensing optical fiber.
[0003] In the traditional distributed fiber optic vibration sensing system, an adjustable pulse light source injects pulse light into the sensing fiber, and the detector demodulates the signal according to the phase change of the Rayleigh scattered light signal by detecting the backscattered light signal. In this system, in order to avoid interference between the injected light pulse signal and the backscattered light signal, only one pulse light is allowed to exist in the entire sensing fiber at the same time. Therefore, this directly leads to the repetition frequency of the pulse light being inversely proportional to the length of the sensing fiber, making it impossible to use pulse light with a high repetition frequency in the case of long-distance detection. However, the repetition frequency of the pulse light directly determines the upper frequency limit of the signal to be measured. Therefore, the traditional distributed vibration sensing system cannot use pulse light with a high repetition frequency under the premise of long-distance detection. Summary of the invention

The repetition frequency of the optical pulse signal in the sensing optical fiber is greatly improved compared with the repetition frequency of the optical pulse signal in the traditional distributed sensing system. According to Nywest's sampling law, the greater the sampling rate, the higher the frequency of the seismic signal that can be detected and demodulated, which increases the upper limit of the signal frequency that can be detected by the system and further improves the overall signal-to-noise ratio of the system;

[0046] c. The above transmission process is extended to the Nth structural unit, thereby realizing the detection of long-distance optical pulse signals under high repetition frequency;
[0047] Step 2, pulse signal processing: After receiving the complete Rayleigh scattering signal, the phase demodulation module performs splicing processing to restore the vibration conditions within the entire detection range.
[0048] Example 3
[0049] This embodiment provides a multi-channel telemetry optical fiber sensing system, when N circulators are arranged in a parallel structure: it also includes a splitter; the 1' port of the splitter is connected to the pulse light source system as an input port, and the splitter also has N ports as output ports, and each is connected to the 1 port of a corresponding circulator, the 2 port of the circulator is connected to the sensing optical fiber, and the 3 port is connected to the phase demodulation module through the Nth detection optical fiber. In addition, it also includes N optical fiber amplifiers and N delay optical fibers; the 1 port of the Nth circulator is connected to the Nth output port of the splitter through the Nth optical fiber amplifier and the Nth delay optical fiber in sequence.
[0050] The working principle of the multi-channel telemetry optical fiber sensing system using a parallel circulator structure is as follows:
[0051] Step 1, mixed light transmission:
[0052] a. The mixed light of the pulse signal light and the fully pumped light emitted by the pulse light source system is divided into N paths by a splitter. The first mixed light is output from port 1 of the splitter, transmitted in the first delay optical fiber, passes through the first optical fiber amplifier, enters from port 1 of the first circulator, outputs from port 2, and is transmitted in the first sensing optical fiber. Rayleigh scattered light signals are generated during the transmission process, enter through port 2 of the first circulator in the reverse direction of the transmission direction of the pulse light signal, output from port 3, and enter the phase demodulation module through the first detection optical fiber;

[0056] After the pulse light source system generates the first pulse light signal, a back-scattered Rayleigh light signal is generated in the first sensing fiber in chronological order, and then a back-scattered Rayleigh light signal is generated in the second sensing fiber... and so on, a back-scattered Rayleigh light signal is generated in the Nth sensing fiber. Compared with the back-scattered Rayleigh light signal generated in the N-1th sensing fiber, the back-scattered Rayleigh light signal generated in the Nth sensing fiber enters the phase demodulation module later than the former, so the back-scattered Rayleigh light signals of the two adjacent circulators will not overlap in time. Finally, when the entire section of optical fiber is divided into N sections, the repetition frequency of the original limit light pulse signal can be increased by N times, thereby increasing the upper limit of the detection phase change signal by N times.
