[0049] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] Embodiment 1:

When <<1, the optical signal is mainly concentrated at the center frequency and the spectrum is narrow. When >1, the spectrum is split into multiple side bands, and the modulation effect is significant; is the angular frequency of the modulation signal, measured in radians per second, which determines the frequency of the modulation signal, that is, the periodicity of the phase change; The sine function representing the modulation signal over time defines how the modulation signal affects the phase of the light wave. The modulation amplitude is given by Decide.
[0063] Introducing a broadband light source and frequency encoding the optical signal can give the signal in the optical fiber high-frequency characteristics, thereby enhancing the detectability of tiny disturbances through frequency domain characteristic extraction (such as the spectral distribution of the signal waveform).

[0065] The optical signal includes reflected echo data and phase information data. The reflected echo data is measured using an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) to locate the approximate fault point, and then a broadband light source is used at both ends of the optical fiber to complete bidirectional signal transmission and obtain the reflection anomaly point. If the approximate fault point coincides with the reflection anomaly point, the fault point can be accurately located.

[0067] The training methods of the time domain reconstruction model include:
[0068] All reflected echo data are used as the input of the time domain reconstruction model. The time domain reconstruction model predicts the corresponding high-resolution reconstructed signal for each group of reflected echo data as output, takes the actual high-resolution reconstructed signal corresponding to each group of reflected echo data as the prediction target, and takes minimizing the sum of the first prediction accuracies of all predicted high-resolution reconstructed signals as the training goal.
[0069] Among them, the calculation formula for the first prediction accuracy is: ,in, is the number of each set of reflection echo data, is the first prediction accuracy, For the The predicted high-resolution reconstructed signal corresponding to the reflected echo data, For the The actual high-resolution reconstructed signal corresponding to the group of reflected echo data is obtained; the time domain reconstruction model is trained until the sum of the first prediction accuracies reaches convergence and the training is stopped; the time domain reconstruction model is a convolutional neural network model.
[0070] By performing nonlinear feature extraction on low-resolution signals through the time domain reconstruction model (CNN), it is possible to restore hidden detail information from the original signal, significantly improve the time domain resolution, and increase the adaptability in complex environments (such as high-noise scenarios or multiple fault point distributions).

[0074] S101: inputting phase information data into a spectrum construction model and outputting a high-resolution spectrum signal;
[0075] S102: inputting the high-resolution spectrum signal into the consistency physical model to check whether the high-resolution spectrum signal satisfies the physical constraint condition;
[0076] S103: If the physical constraint condition is not met, the spectrum is corrected by feedback of the joint loss function to build the model, and S101 to S103 are repeated until the joint loss function converges, and the training is completed;
[0077] The consistency physical model includes:
[0078] ;
[0079] ;
[0080] ;
[0081] Optical fiber propagation path formula:
[0082] ;
[0083] In the formula, is the frequency domain, which represents the spectrum distribution of the optical signal; The amplitude of the frequency domain signal indicates the strength of the reflected signal; is the time domain, which means the optical signal in time changes in the reflection intensity or phase; is the angular frequency in radians per second; It is the phase of the frequency domain signal, reflecting the delay or deformation of the optical signal propagation path; is the refractive index of the optical fiber; is the wavelength of light; is the path length of the optical fiber signal propagation.
[0084] Physical constraints include frequency consistency, phase consistency, and time-frequency consistency;
[0085] Frequency consistency loss includes the amplitude and phase of the high-resolution spectrum signal being consistent with the results of the consistent physical model calculation; the physical model calculation results include , , and .

[0087] Time-frequency consistency includes that the frequency domain and time domain of the high-resolution spectrum signal are consistent with the calculation results of the consistency physical model;
[0088] Joint loss function include:
[0089] ;

[0091] ;
[0092] ;
[0093] In the formula, , and It is a preset weight coefficient used to balance the importance of different loss items; is the frequency consistency loss term; is the phase consistency loss term; is the time-frequency consistency loss term; is the spectrum of the high-resolution spectrum signal; is the phase of the high-resolution spectrum signal; It is the time domain of high-resolution spectrum signal.
[0094] By combining the spectrum construction model with the consistent physical model, high-resolution spectrum reconstruction of the optical fiber signal is achieved, and the physical consistency of the reconstruction result is ensured by physical constraints. The high-frequency details of the signal can be restored without being restricted by the sampling rate and instrument bandwidth. The reason for using the consistent physical model is that although the deep learning model has powerful nonlinear fitting capabilities, it may generate spectra that do not conform to physical laws (such as distorted frequency amplitudes or unreasonable phase distributions). The consistent physical model can correct this problem well.

[0099] The clear multimodal optical signal data and the clear optical fiber sensing data are aligned on the same time and space axis and then normalized. After the data is normalized, baseline drift correction and temperature compensation are performed.
