Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to a vibration detection method of a high-frequency-response distributed optical fiber acoustic sensor, and especially to a vibration detection method of a high-frequency-response distributed optical fiber acoustic sensor capable of suppressing crosstalk. BACKGROUND

[0002] Distributed Fiber-optic Acoustic Sensor (DAS) has more and more applications in important fields such as oil and gas resource exploration, oil and gas pipeline monitoring, and railway track monitoring. DAS can use ordinary single-mode communication optical fiber as a sensor, and each small section of optical fiber on the optical fiber can be regarded as a microphone that can detect environmental sound vibration signals. Moreover, the position of the vibration signal can be accurately located, and more importantly, the waveform of the sound vibration signal can be quantitatively obtained for further analysis. Compared with traditional acoustic sensors based on mechanical or electromagnetic principles, DAS has the advantages of general optical fiber sensors, such as anti-electromagnetic interference, corrosion resistance, and intrinsic passivity. In addition, DAS has distributed measurement capability, which is easy to realize large-scale acoustic sensor multiplexing and avoids the problems of power supply and signal transmission in traditional acoustic sensor multiplexing schemes. In the scenarios of aircraft fuselage structure monitoring, turbine blade state monitoring, and sound source positioning in fluids, it is necessary for the DAS system to have a high spatial resolution. Most of the current DAS technologies are based on optical time domain reflectometry technology, and the spatial resolution is more than one meter, which is difficult to be directly applied to the above-mentioned scenarios.

[0003] The spatial resolution of the DAS system based on Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) or Time-gated Digital OFDR (TGD-OFDR) is determined by the sweep range of the probe light, so the spatial resolution and the duration of the probe light are decoupled, which can ensure that the DAS system has a very high spatial resolution. However, due to the long duration of the probe light in this scheme, when the optical fiber is subjected to vibration, the phase modulation exerted by the vibration on the probe light is no longer a constant value within the duration of the probe light, which causes crosstalk in the strain demodulation of the subsequent position due to the vibration, and even causes the demodulation method to fail. Therefore, the current high spatial resolution DAS system cannot correctly detect high-frequency vibration signals, and the response bandwidth is severely limited.

[0004] The patent document with the publication number CN113295257A discloses a kind of optical fiber acoustic sensor signal demodulation method and system, its difference lies in, including the following steps: step 1: broadband light provided by light source passes through optical fiber acoustic sensor, broadband light occurs interference;Step 2: after interference, broadband light becomes N wavelength interval certain narrowband light after screening;Step 3: corresponding N route interference light intensity is obtained from the N route different wavelength of narrowband light;The N route interference light intensity is converted into N route corresponding voltage signal;Step 4: N route voltage signal is sampled in multiple channels, and N demodulation working point voltages are sampled;Step 5: obtain the signal of intensity demodulation effect best, as demodulation signal;Step 6: the demodulation signal is processed and restored, becomes acoustic wave signal.The application increases the stability and reliability of demodulation, improves the batch practical ability of optical fiber acoustic sensor.But this scheme is only applicable to solve the problem of sensor static working point drift under the change of environmental factors, cannot solve the problem of crosstalk caused by strain demodulation of subsequent position of vibration received on optical fiber.
