TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the security protection using the deformation fence device, when the intrusion activity occurs, some components in the fence device will be deformed, and the deformation fence system senses the occurrence of the intrusion activity by detecting the deformation. The existing technology sensors for detecting the deformation mainly include the following ways: electric stress sensor, P-OTDR (polarization sensitive-OTDR) and B-OTDR (Brillouin-OTDR), fiber grating sensor, and fiber micro-bending sensor.
[0003] When the electric stress sensor is used as the sensing unit, the cost is low, but the electric stress sensor is an active device, and the power supply needs to be provided for the sensing unit, which is inconvenient to use in some application occasions.
