The invention belongs to the technical field of
optical fiber distributed sensing, and discloses a distributed
optical fiber acoustic sensing device and method based on a linear
frequency modulation pulse sequence, and the device comprises a narrow linewidth
laser, a double-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator, and an
arbitrary waveform generator. The
arbitrary waveform generator is connected with the double-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator and is used for generating a linear
frequency modulation pulse sequence comprising a plurality of pulses of which the center frequencies are sequentially increased or decreased to drive the double-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator;
laser emitted by the narrow linewidth
laser is divided into two parts, one part serves as reference light, the other part serves as
signal light and is modulated into a linear
frequency modulation pulse sequence through the double-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator, then the linear frequency modulation pulse sequence is output to the sensing
optical fiber, Rayleigh back scattering light generated in the sensing optical
fiber interferes with the reference light, and the
signal light is output to the optical
fiber. An interference
signal is detected by a balanced photoelectric
detector and then is collected by a collection card. According to the invention, high-resolution and large-measurement-range dynamic
strain measurement can be realized.
