Description

Technical Field

It is currently the most powerful medium for information transmission, and a large amount of sensing data can be easily transmitted. The sensing unit of distributed optical fiber sensing is the optical fiber itself. By demodulating the backscattered signal, the optical fiber can be converted into a large number of virtual sensors. Therefore, once the optical fiber is laid, a large number of sensors are deployed at the same time without considering the power supply of each sensor. Based on the above characteristics, distributed optical fiber sensing has become a hot spot in the field of optical fiber sensing at home and abroad.

[0003] In the field of distributed fiber optic sensing applications, phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry By demodulating the phase information carried in the backscattered Rayleigh light wave, the vibration signal can be restored. Therefore, how to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the demodulated phase signal has always been the focus of research. In common single-pulse systems, the phase information can be demodulated using a 3*3 phase demodulation algorithm.
