Description

Distributed displacement sensing phase demodulation method, device and equipment Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing signal demodulation, and in particular to a distributed displacement sensing phase demodulation method, a distributed displacement sensing phase demodulation device, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) utilizes Rayleigh backscattering in optical fibers to acquire vibration information around them through phase demodulation. Serving as both a sensing and transmission medium, the optical fiber continuously senses acoustic vibration information around the fiber and records it through high-density temporal and spatial sampling. This technology has been widely applied in applications such as borehole seismic data acquisition, dam safety monitoring, perimeter security, and pipeline monitoring. Fiber-optic DAS primarily exploits the Rayleigh backscattering generated by laser light propagating through optical fibers. When the surrounding medium vibrates, the Rayleigh backscattering also changes accordingly. Through coherent detection and phase demodulation of this optical signal, the vibration wave field or strain information of the medium can be obtained. Since the demodulated phase output is generally based on the phase difference between adjacent points according to the gauge length, the output is actually local strain. When the phase difference is differentiated with respect to time before output, the output becomes the local strain rate.

[0003] Fiber optic DAS generally uses a phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer Phase demodulation is used to obtain the phase information of Rayleigh backscattering. However, since this phase information is path-dependent and nonlinear with external disturbances, its practical application is severely hampered. Current phase demodulation methods primarily overcome nonlinear effects and improve the signal-to-noise ratio by calculating phase differences within a scale and performing local averaging. However, this method loses low-wavenumber wavefield information and prevents the noise level from being reduced to an ideal level. Many experts, both domestically and internationally, are dedicated to researching phase demodulation with a high signal-to-noise ratio.

[0004] Research indicates that there is currently no method for phase demodulation based on fiber-optic distributed displacement sensing. Existing methods for distributed acoustic wave sensing phase demodulation can only achieve velocity sensing phase demodulation, and these phase demodulation results have many deficiencies in practical applications. Therefore, there is an urgent need to accurately and efficiently perform phase demodulation for displacement sensing down to zero frequency while maintaining broadband wavefield information.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention depending on the specific circumstances.

[0027] In order to solve the technical problem of the lack of a phase demodulation method based on optical fiber distributed displacement sensing in the prior art, a technical solution of the present invention provides a distributed displacement phase demodulation method, which realizes displacement sensing phase demodulation by utilizing the initial phase of each optical fiber sensing position contained in the initial demodulation phase, the initial phase of the laser pulse source, the accumulated phase of the transmission process path and the gradual decoupling of the signal to be measured.

[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0029] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a distributed displacement sensing phase demodulation method. Referring to FIG1 , the method includes the following steps:

[0030] Step S101: Determine an IQ demodulation initial phase ω0(i, j) and an IQ signal amplitude A(i, j) based on an IQ signal.

[0031] Specifically, using fiber optic distributed acoustic wave sensing acquisition instrument Connected to the optical fiber coupled to the environment to be measured, it emits narrow-linewidth, highly coherent optical pulses at a certain frequency. Through the IQ demodulator, IQ signals at different observation points at different times are obtained. The IQ signals are the in-phase signal I(i,j) and the quadrature signal Q(i,j). After various corrections are made to the IQ signals, IQ phase demodulation is performed. Here, i represents the i-th sampling time sequence number, and j represents the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position sequence number. It should be noted that multiple optical fibers are deployed in the environment to be measured, and each optical fiber has a corresponding deployment position, which is the optical fiber sensing signal sensing position.

[0032] Based on the above IQ signal, the IQ demodulation initial phase ω0(i, j) and the IQ signal amplitude A(i, j) can be calculated, which can be specifically characterized as follows:

[0033] Where ω0(i,j) is the initial phase of IQ demodulation at the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment; Q(i,j) is the orthogonal signal at the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment; I(i,j) is the in-phase signal at the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment; A(i,j) is the IQ signal amplitude at the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment.

[0034] Step S102: Perform phase decoupling operation on the IQ demodulation initial phase ω0(i,j), and subtract the initial phase of the optical fiber sensing signal sensing position from the IQ demodulation initial phase ω0(i,j) in sequence. Laser pulse source initial phase and the accumulated phase of the transmission process path Get the displacement sensor phase to be measured

[0035] Specifically, the optical fiber distributed sensing acquisition instrument is an instrument with a phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer as its core. The IQ demodulation initial phase ω0 of the optical fiber sensing signal sensing position j at sampling time i consists of four parts, namely, the initial phase of each optical fiber sensing signal sensing position, Laser pulse source initial phase Transmission process path accumulation phase and the phase shift of the signal to be measured Right now:

[0036] Where ω0(i,j) is the initial phase of IQ demodulation of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment; is the displacement sensing phase to be measured at the jth optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment; is the initial phase of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position; is the initial phase of the laser pulse source at the i-th sampling moment; is the accumulated phase of the transmission path of the jth optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment.

[0037] Step S103: performing phase unwrapping processing on the displacement sensing phase to be measured to obtain the unwrapped displacement sensing phase to be measured.

[0038] Step S104: Calculate and obtain displacement sensing data according to the displacement sensing phase to be measured after unwinding.

[0039] Specifically, the required displacement sensing data D(i, j) can be calculated using the following formula.

[0040] Where D(i,j) is the displacement sensing data of the jth optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment; is the displacement sensing phase to be measured at the jth optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment; λ is the wavelength of the laser pulse, which is generally 1550nm; n is the refractive index of the optical fiber, which is generally 1.46; C ε It is the refractive index strain parameter. For different optical fibers, its value is generally between -0.16 and -0.63.

[0041] Step S105: determining the coherent fading position in the displacement sensing data based on the IQ signal amplitude, eliminating the influence of the coherent fading by linear interpolation of adjacent normal points, and obtaining the displacement sensing data after the coherent fading noise is suppressed.

[0042] Step S106: Transpose the displacement sensing data after the coherent fading noise is suppressed into track sequence recording data, and perform denoising through subsequent data processing to obtain final displacement sensing demodulated phase data.

[0043] Furthermore, in a possible implementation, in step S102, a phase decoupling operation is performed on the IQ demodulation initial phase ω0(i, j), and the initial phase of the optical fiber sensing signal sensing position is sequentially subtracted from the IQ demodulation initial phase ω0(i, j). Laser pulse source initial phase and the accumulated phase of the transmission process path Get the displacement sensor phase to be measured The process may include but is not limited to the following sub-steps S1021 to S1027.

[0044] Sub-step S1021: For the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position without external acoustic wave signal, select several time sampling values ​​for point-by-point statistical analysis to obtain the initial phase of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position.

[0045] Specifically, the initial phase of the jth optical fiber sensing signal sensing position is The calculation formula is:

[0046] In formula (5), is the initial phase of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position; m is the number of time sampling points selected for each sensing position before the signal to be measured arrives, that is, the number of time sampling points used to count the initial phase of the optical fiber sensing signal sensing position when the optical fiber is in a stationary state; ω0(i,j) is the IQ demodulation initial phase of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment; i is the sampling time sequence number; j is the optical fiber sensing signal sensing position sequence number.

[0047] Sub-step S1022: Subtract the initial phase of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position from the IQ demodulation initial phase ω0(i,j) of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment The first decoupling phase ω1(i, j) of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment is obtained.

[0048] That is, the calculation formula of the first decoupling phase ω1(i,j) of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment is:

[0049] In formula (6), ω1(i, j) is the first decoupling phase of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment; ω0(i, j) is the IQ demodulation initial phase of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment; is the initial phase of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position.

[0050] Sub-step S1023: Determine the initial phase of the laser pulse source at the i-th sampling moment based on the linear relationship between the different first decoupling phases at the i-th sampling moment and the change in the optical fiber sensing signal sensing position. And the phase linear change factor k(i) at the i-th sampling moment.

[0051] Since the IQ demodulation initial phase ω0(i,j) of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment should satisfy the following relationship:

[0052] Therefore, combining equations (6) and (7), it can be seen that the first decoupling phase ω1(i, j) after eliminating the initial phase influence of the optical fiber sensing signal sensing position is equal to the initial phase of the laser pulse source And the cumulative phase of the transmission process path The following relationship should be satisfied:

[0053] Here, if we assume The mean value in the fitting section is zero, which means it has no effect on the fitting parameter calculation. Then, the first decoupling phase ω1(i,j) at the i-th sampling moment and the optical fiber sensing signal sensing position j will form a linear function relationship, that is:

[0054] At this time, the linear fitting relationship between the first decoupling phase ω1(i,j) at the i-th sampling moment and the change of the optical fiber sensing signal sensing position j can be obtained by performing multi-point linear fitting on the curve of the change of the first decoupling phase ω1(i,j) at the i-th sampling moment and the change of the optical fiber sensing signal sensing position j. The intercept of the linear fitting relationship is the initial phase of the laser pulse source at the i-th sampling moment. The slope of the linear fitting relationship is the time-varying linear factor k(i) at the i-th sampling moment.

[0055] In addition, it should be noted that in order to eliminate To minimize the impact on fitting accuracy, the fitting segment should be selected at the far end of the fiber, where the measured signal is weaker and arrives later. To ensure fitting accuracy, the fitting segment should not be too short and should generally be at least one-quarter of the fiber length. The effects of phase wrapping should be considered during fitting, and unwrapping should be performed.

[0056] Sub-step S1024: Based on the phase linear variation factor k(i) at the i-th sampling moment, determine the cumulative phase of the transmission process path of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment

[0057] Specifically, by multiplying the phase linear change factor k(i) at the i-th sampling moment by the optical fiber sensing signal sensing position j, the cumulative phase of the transmission process path of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment can be obtained: Right now:

[0058] Where, is the accumulated phase of the transmission path of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment; k(i) is the linear change factor over time at the i-th sampling moment.

[0059] Sub-step S1025: Subtract the initial phase of the laser pulse source at the i-th sampling moment from the first decoupling phase ω1(i,j) of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment The second decoupling phase ω2(i, j) of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment is obtained.

[0060] Sub-step S1026: Subtract the accumulated phase of the transmission path of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position from the second decoupling phase ω2(i,j) of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment The third decoupling phase ω3(i,j) of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment is obtained.

[0061] Sub-step S1027: Determine the third decoupling phase ω3(i,j) of the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment as the displacement sensing phase to be measured at the j-th optical fiber sensing signal sensing position at the i-th sampling moment

[0062] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, to ensure demodulation accuracy, substeps S1021 to S1027 may be iteratively performed multiple times, and the third decoupling phase obtained by the final calculation is determined as the final displacement sensing phase to be measured. During each iterative calculation, the initial IQ demodulation phase ω0(i, j) in the current iterative process is updated to the third decoupling phase ω3(i, j) obtained in the previous iterative calculation.

[0063] In order to verify the effectiveness and practicability of the distributed displacement sensing phase demodulation method of the present invention, an actual optical fiber of an oil well was used to Taking the collected IQ data as an example, the above-mentioned distributed displacement sensing phase demodulation method is used to perform displacement sensing phase demodulation on the IQ data.

[0064] First, the optical fiber is laid in the well, and the optical fiber distributed acoustic wave sensor receiving instrument is used to connect the optical fiber from the top to collect the The IQ data of the instrument is then used to measure the actual optical fiber of an oil well. Collect IQ data for displacement sensing phase demodulation processing, which may include the following processing steps:

[0065] (1) Imbalance correction is performed on the IQ signal outputs I(i, j) and Q(i, j) obtained at different observation points at different times to ensure the orthogonality of the IQ signals.

[0066] (2) The IQ demodulation initial phase ω0(i, j) of the IQ signal is calculated by formula (1), and the IQ signal amplitude A(i, j) of the IQ signal is calculated by formula (2).

[0067] (3) For each optical fiber sensing position without external acoustic wave signals, m time sampling values ​​are selected for point-by-point statistical analysis to obtain the Rayleigh backscattering superposition initial phase within the optical pulse width range of the optical fiber sensing signal sensing position j.

[0068] Here, m is the number of selected time sample points before the signal to be measured arrives at each sensing position, that is, the number of time sample points used to count the initial phase of the sensing position of the optical fiber sensing signal when the optical fiber is in a stationary state.

[0069] (4) The initial phase of IQ demodulation ω0(i,j) minus the initial phase of the corresponding optical fiber sensing signal sensing position After that, the first decoupling phase ω1(i, j) is obtained to eliminate the influence of the initial phase of each sensing position.

[0070] (5) The first decoupling phase ω1(i, j) corresponding to each sensing position at sampling time i is linearly fitted with the sensing position j of each optical fiber sensing signal to obtain the laser pulse phase at sampling time i. and the phase linear variation factor k(i).

[0071] Specifically, the first decoupling phase ω1(i,j) corresponding to each sensor position at sampling time i is calculated and determined first, that is, data points such as ω1(i,1), ω1(i,2)…ω1(i,j), ω1(i,j+1), ω1(i,j+2) corresponding to different sensor positions at sampling time i are obtained. Then, based on these data points, a curve of ω1 changing with sensor position at sampling time i is drawn. After multi-point linear fitting, the slope and intercept are obtained. The intercept is the laser pulse phase at sampling time i. The slope is the phase linear change factor k(i) at sampling time i.

[0072] (6) Calculate the cumulative phase of the transmission path using formula (10):

[0073] (7) Subtract the initial phase of each sensor position from the initial phase of IQ demodulation ω0(i,j) by formula (3) Laser pulse source initial phase and the accumulated phase of the transmission process path Get the displacement sensor phase to be measured

[0074] (8) To ensure the demodulation accuracy, use Repeat steps (3) to (7) by substituting ω0(i,j).

[0075] (9) The IQ displacement phase demodulation data obtained in the above steps is used for phase unwrapping, and the required displacement sensing data D(i, j) is calculated using formula (4).

[0076] (10) The amplitude of the IQ signal is used to determine the location of the fading noise and eliminate the influence of coherent fading.

[0077] (11) Repeat steps (1) to (10) for all I / Q signals to be demodulated and recorded, and transpose them to obtain the track sequence recording data required for subsequent processing. After completing the above steps, the IQ displacement sensing phase demodulation of the optical fiber acquisition data is completed.

[0078] (12) In order to further eliminate the residual phase low wavenumber noise, the subsequent data is processed to remove the zero wavenumber to obtain the final displacement sensing demodulation phase data.

[0079] (13) Resample the data according to actual needs and use existing technologies for subsequent processing and application.

[0080] Figure 2 shows the initial IQ demodulation phase of the fiber IQ signal; Figure 3 shows the displacement phase demodulation record of the fiber IQ signal; Figure 4 shows the unwound record after displacement phase demodulation; and Figure 5 shows the normal sequence record after transposition. Combining Figures 2-5, it can be seen that the phase information of the fiber-acquired data processed by this method represents the displacement sensing response information, achieving the goal of preserving information across the entire frequency band and highlighting effective seismic waves. Furthermore, this phase demodulation method does not require differential calculations based on gauge length, fully preserving the frequency characteristics of the signal. This significantly improves data quality and provides assurance for subsequent data processing and applications.

[0081] In addition, the implementation environment of this embodiment includes at least one terminal and a server, and the method is executed on the terminal or the server respectively. The terminal and the server can be connected in communication to realize the interactive transmission of information.

[0082] Among them, the terminal can be any electronic product that can interact with the user through one or more methods such as keyboard, touchpad, touch screen, voice interaction, etc., such as PC (Personal Computer), PPC (Pocket Personal Computer), tablet computer, etc.

[0083] A server can be a single server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers. It can also be a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), as well as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0090] The subsequent processing unit 106 is used to convert the displacement sensing data after the coherent fading noise is suppressed into track sequence recording data, and perform denoising through subsequent data processing to obtain the final displacement sensing demodulated phase data.
