Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the field of optical fiber sensing noise suppression, in particular to a multi-channel microseismic monitoring system and method based on optical fiber sensing. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, optical fiber sensing technology has rapidly developed due to its high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, intrinsic safety and anti-electromagnetic interference, and is widely used in the field of microseismic measurement. It uses light waves as carriers to demodulate external vibrations by sensing the changes of physical parameters such as phase, intensity and wavelength of light in the optical fiber.

[0003] PGC (Phase Generated Carrier) demodulation is one of the most core and classical demodulation schemes in optical fiber interferometer sensors. It actively injects a high-frequency carrier signal into the interferometer, modulates the low-frequency and weak signal to be measured onto the carrier, and then generates a base frequency and a multiple frequency signal synchronized with the carrier signal. After mixing and filtering, a pair of quadrature signals is output, and then the vibration signal is demodulated by DCM or ATAN. This method has high circuit complexity and may also cause carrier phase delay problems. Meanwhile, the phase-frequency characteristics of the filter will affect the orthogonality of the output signal, and further affect the demodulation result.

[0004] The 3x3 coupler demodulation scheme directly outputs signals with fixed phase difference by using the inherent symmetric phase characteristics of the 3x3 coupler, and then constructs quadrature signals by using the ellipse fitting method, and further demodulates the vibration information. This scheme has simple structure and lower cost, and does not need complex active modulation. However, this scheme needs to collect two signals at the same time and perform real-time ellipse fitting operation. When the external vibration signal is too weak, the ellipse may not be closed, which may lead to fitting failure and further demodulation failure. Meanwhile, this scheme is easily affected by low-frequency interference. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above problems, the application provides a multi-channel microseismic monitoring system and method based on optical fiber sensing.

The intermittent collection solves the problems of channel crosstalk, poor synchronization and high system complexity in multi-channel monitoring, and realizes the effect of non-crosstalk parallel processing of multi-channel data time division multiplexing. Meanwhile, the three interference signals collected synchronously are regarded as spatial discrete points. The noise interference is stripped by space conversion methods such as fitting, translation, rotation and mapping, and the pure phase information is retained.
