[0002] Existing fiber optic sensing technologies mainly rely on DVS (distributed vibration sensing) and traditional OTDR (optical time domain reflectometer) systems. However, these technologies face the following major problems in long-distance sensing and high-precision monitoring: (1) Nonlinear relationship: There is a nonlinear relationship between the DVS signal and the external vibration signal, which makes it impossible to accurately restore the external vibration information. (2) Signal-to-noise ratio degradation: In long-distance sensing, effects such as polarization fading and coherent fading can cause the signal-to-noise ratio to drop sharply, resulting in randomly distributed monitoring dead zones and the inability to identify events.

[0033] Figure 1 The following is a schematic diagram of a method for testing the dynamic range of an optical fiber sensing signal according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for testing the dynamic range of an optical fiber sensing signal, and the testing method may include the following steps.

[0034] Step 101, determining the number of tests and determining a plurality of dynamic strain excitation signals for each test.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the number of tests can be set according to actual needs in combination with empirical values, for example, it can include but is not limited to being set to 5 times. The dynamic strain excitation signal refers to a specific signal used in dynamic strain measurement, which is used to stimulate and record the strain response of a material or structure under a dynamic load. The dynamic strain excitation signal generally includes different types of signals, each of which has its specific application scenarios and characteristics, for example, it may include sinusoidal signals, square wave signals, pulse signals, Gaussian signals, and random signals. After setting the number of tests, the multiple dynamic strain excitation signals used for each test can be further determined, which may include the number, type, frequency, and amplitude of the dynamic strain excitation signals.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, the optical fiber to be tested is wound on a piezoelectric ceramic sensor, and determining multiple dynamic strain excitation signals for each test includes: outputting a driving voltage signal to the piezoelectric ceramic sensor to obtain multiple dynamic strain excitation signals for each test.

[0037] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the piezoelectric ceramic sensor may refer to PZT, which may also be called a piezoelectric ceramic fiber stretcher or fiber stretcher. The piezoelectric ceramic sensor is a sensor that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy using the piezoelectric effect. PZT piezoelectric ceramics will produce charge changes under the action of external forces. This phenomenon is called the piezoelectric effect. In this technical solution, if Figure 2 As shown, the optical fiber to be tested can be wound around the piezoelectric ceramic sensor, and then a signal generator outputs a driving voltage signal to the piezoelectric ceramic sensor to obtain multiple dynamic strain excitation signals applied by the piezoelectric ceramic sensor to the optical fiber to be tested.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present application, for any test, the signal type and signal frequency of each dynamic strain excitation signal under the test are the same, the signal amplitudes of the multiple dynamic strain excitation signals under the test are all within a preset amplitude range and the signal amplitudes of any two dynamic strain excitation signals are different; the same multiple dynamic strain excitation signals are used between different tests.

[0039] In this embodiment, it should be noted that in any test, the signal type and signal frequency of each dynamic strain excitation signal are the same. Specifically, in the present technical solution, each dynamic strain excitation signal can be set to a single-tone sine signal with a signal frequency of 100 Hz. At the same time, the signal amplitude of each dynamic strain excitation signal should be within the preset amplitude range of the dynamic strain excitation signal. For example, the preset amplitude range can be set to 0.2nε~500nε, that is, the signal amplitude of each dynamic strain excitation signal should be a value in the range of 0.2nε~500nε. For the convenience of calculation, the signal amplitude of the dynamic strain excitation signal can be set to start from 0.2nε, increase by 10nε each time, until 500nε is cut off, so as to obtain multiple dynamic strain excitation signals with different signal amplitudes and the same growth value between adjacent signals.

[0040] It should be noted that the same multiple dynamic strain excitation signals are used between different tests. Taking the number of tests as 5 times as an example, assuming that the multiple dynamic strain excitation signals in the first test are a single-tone sinusoidal signal with an amplitude of 0.2nε and a signal frequency of 100Hz, a single-tone sinusoidal signal with an amplitude of 10.2nε and a frequency of 100Hz, and a single-tone sinusoidal signal with an amplitude of 20.2nε and a signal frequency of 100Hz, then the multiple dynamic strain excitation signals used in the second to fifth tests should be the same as the multiple dynamic strain excitation signals used in the first test, that is, they are all single-tone sinusoidal signals with an amplitude of 0.2nε and a signal frequency of 100Hz, single-tone sinusoidal signals with an amplitude of 10.2nε and a frequency of 100Hz, and single-tone sinusoidal signals with an amplitude of 20.2nε and a signal frequency of 100Hz.

[0041] Step 102: for each test, determine the time domain signal of the optical fiber under test under each dynamic strain excitation signal.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the time domain signal may refer to the characteristics of the signal that change over time, such as sound, image, and video. In the time domain, the amplitude and frequency of the signal change over time, usually represented by a waveform. In the present technical solution, for each test, after determining multiple dynamic strain excitation signals for each test, the time domain signal of the optical fiber under each dynamic strain excitation signal can be further determined.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, for each test, determining the time domain signal of the optical fiber to be tested under each dynamic strain excitation signal includes: determining the central sampling position for the optical fiber to be tested; acquiring the signal of the central sampling position under each dynamic strain excitation signal to determine it as the time domain signal of the optical fiber to be tested under each dynamic strain excitation signal.

[0044] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the central sampling position can be set according to actual needs combined with empirical values. For example, the positions on the optical fiber that are 1 km, 25 km, 50 km away from the piezoelectric ceramic sensor can be selected as the central sampling position, and after the piezoelectric ceramic sensor applies a dynamic strain excitation signal, the signal at the central sampling position is obtained, and the signal is determined as the time domain signal of the optical fiber to be tested under each dynamic strain excitation signal.

[0045] Step 103: determine the power spectrum density corresponding to each time domain signal.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the signal is usually expressed in the form of a wave, such as an electromagnetic wave, a random vibration or a sound wave. When the power spectrum density of the wave is multiplied by an appropriate coefficient, the power carried by the wave per unit frequency is obtained, which is called the power spectrum density of the signal, also known as the PSD spectrum. In the present technical solution, after determining the time domain signal of the optical fiber to be tested under each dynamic strain excitation signal under each test, the time domain signal under each dynamic strain excitation signal can be further determined.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, determining the power spectral density corresponding to each time domain signal includes: converting each time domain signal into a corresponding frequency domain signal; and determining the power spectral density corresponding to each time domain signal based on the frequency domain signal.

[0048] In this embodiment, it should be noted that power spectral density may refer to a statistic that describes the distribution of signal power in the frequency domain, and is usually used to analyze the frequency components of random signals. It is the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function, which is used to represent the power distribution of the signal at different frequencies. In this technical solution, each time domain signal obtained is a waveform diagram. After the time domain signal is Fourier exchanged, the time domain signal can be converted into a corresponding frequency domain signal, wherein the frequency domain signal is a coordinate system used to describe the characteristics of the signal in terms of frequency. In the frequency domain, frequency is the horizontal coordinate and amplitude is the vertical coordinate, which is used to analyze the performance of the signal at different frequencies. Further, the power spectral density corresponding to each time domain signal can be obtained by calculating the frequency domain signal. The power spectral density is a spectrum diagram with the horizontal axis being frequency and the vertical axis being power, showing the power size of each frequency point.

[0049] Step 104: determine the phase signal test value of the optical fiber to be tested at each power spectrum density to obtain a maximum phase signal test value and a minimum phase signal test value.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, it should be noted that the phase signal test value may refer to a numerical index obtained by power spectrum density analysis to characterize the characteristics of the strain signal. Therefore, after obtaining the power spectrum density corresponding to each time domain signal, the phase signal test value of the optical fiber to be tested at each power spectrum density can be further calculated. At the same time, the maximum phase signal test value and the minimum phase signal test value can be obtained by comparing the numerical values. Specifically, the phase signal test value of the optical fiber to be tested at each power spectrum density can be calculated according to the following formula, including:

[0051]

[0052] Among them, θ is the phase signal test value, PSD(f signal ) is the square of the amplitude of the frequency domain signal calculated by Fourier transform, representing the power at frequency f.

[0053] It should be noted that after obtaining the phase signal test value under each test, a relationship curve between the signal amplitude and the phase signal test value can be drawn, so that the overall change trend of the phase signal test value can be intuitively observed through the relationship curve. If there are abnormal points or nonlinear changes, they can be more easily identified and eliminated, ensuring that the final maximum and minimum values ​​are representative and reliable.

[0054] Step 105: Determine the signal dynamic range test value of the optical fiber to be tested in each test based on the maximum phase signal test value and the minimum phase signal test value of each test.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, it should be noted that after obtaining the maximum phase signal test value and the minimum phase signal test value of the optical fiber to be tested in each test, for each test, the signal dynamic range test value of the optical fiber to be tested in each test can be determined based on the maximum phase signal test value and the minimum phase signal test value.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, determining the signal dynamic range test value of the optical fiber to be tested under each test based on the maximum phase signal test value and the minimum phase signal test value of each test includes: for each test, determining the ratio of the maximum phase signal test value and the minimum phase signal test value of each test; performing a logarithmic operation on each ratio to obtain a result after the operation; and weighting each calculated ratio to obtain the signal dynamic range test value of the optical fiber to be tested under each test.

[0057] In this embodiment, it should be noted that when determining the signal dynamic range test value of the optical fiber to be tested in each test based on the maximum phase signal test value and the minimum phase signal test value, the ratio of the maximum phase signal test value to the minimum phase signal test value can be calculated first, and each ratio can be logarithmically operated to obtain the result after the operation; each ratio of the operation is weighted to obtain the signal dynamic range test value of the optical fiber to be tested in each test. Specifically, the calculation can be performed according to the following formula:

[0058] DR = 20·log 10 (θ max / θ min )

[0059] Among them, θ max is the maximum phase signal test value, θ min is the minimum phase signal test value, and DR is the signal dynamic range test value.

[0060] Step 106: When the signal dynamic range test value meets the preset condition, it is determined that the dynamic range of the sensing signal of the optical fiber to be tested meets the specification requirements.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, after calculating the signal dynamic range test value of the optical fiber to be tested in each test, if the obtained signal dynamic range test value meets the preset conditions, it can be determined that the sensor signal dynamic range of the optical fiber to be tested meets the specification requirements.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the testing method also includes: determining that the signal dynamic range test value meets the preset condition when the following conditions are met: the number of tests in which the signal dynamic range test value is greater than or equal to the maximum threshold is greater than or equal to the preset number of times and the signal dynamic range test value under each test is greater than the minimum threshold.

[0063] In this embodiment, it should be noted that if the obtained signal dynamic range test value meets the preset conditions, it can be determined that the dynamic range of the sensor signal of the optical fiber to be tested meets the specification requirements, wherein the preset conditions may refer to the number of tests in which the signal dynamic range test value is greater than or equal to the maximum threshold value is greater than or equal to the preset number of times and the signal dynamic range test value under each test is greater than the minimum threshold value. Specifically, the maximum threshold value, the minimum threshold value and the preset number of times can be set according to actual needs and experience. For example, when the number of tests is 5 times, it can include but is not limited to setting the maximum threshold value to 50dB, setting the minimum threshold value to 48dB, and setting the preset number of times to 3 times. Therefore, if the number of tests in which the DR is not less than 50dB in 5 tests is not less than 3 times, and the minimum value of the DR in the 5 test results is not less than 48dB, it can be considered that the dynamic range of the sensor signal of the optical fiber to be tested meets the specification requirements.

[0064] The above technical scheme determines the number of tests and determines multiple dynamic strain excitation signals for each test; for each test, determines the time domain signal of the optical fiber to be tested under each dynamic strain excitation signal; determines the power spectrum density corresponding to each time domain signal; determines the phase signal test value of the optical fiber to be tested under each power spectrum density to obtain the maximum phase signal test value and the minimum phase signal test value; determines the signal dynamic range test value of the optical fiber to be tested under each test based on the maximum phase signal test value and the minimum phase signal test value of each test; when the signal dynamic range test value meets the preset conditions, determines that the dynamic range of the sensing signal of the optical fiber to be tested meets the specification requirements, thereby realizing accurate measurement of the dynamic range of the optical fiber sensing signal.

[0065] This technical solution significantly improves the dynamic range: the dynamic range exceeds 50dB, meeting the needs of high-precision long-distance monitoring. Enhanced signal acquisition rate: the effective signal acquisition rate reaches 99.9%, ensuring the reliability of monitoring data. Improved sensitivity and accuracy: through all-optical coherent noise suppression and oDSP algorithm optimization, the system can detect weaker signals and improve the accuracy of event recognition.

[0073] The application prospects of this technical solution include:

[0076] (3) Disaster warning and prevention: In earthquake and natural disaster monitoring, a highly sensitive sensor system is used to capture seismic waves and other natural disaster signals in real time, thereby improving the accuracy and timeliness of warnings and reducing losses caused by disasters.

[0077] (4) Infrastructure maintenance: In building structural health monitoring, by real-time monitoring of the strain and vibration of buildings and bridges, potential structural problems can be discovered and preventive maintenance can be performed to extend the service life of the infrastructure and ensure its safe operation.

[0078] (5) Environmental protection and monitoring: In environmental monitoring, high-precision monitoring technology is used to capture subtle signals of environmental changes, provide reliable data support for environmental protection and ecological monitoring, and contribute to the sustainable development of the ecological environment.

[0079] In general, this technical solution not only provides advanced monitoring technology in various fields, but also provides important guarantees for social security, economic development and environmental protection, and has significant social and economic value.
