The invention provides a digital
heterodyne interference
demodulation technology based on a
chaotic signal enhancement array. An all-optical random code
optical path module, a
heterodyne interference
optical path module, a sensing array module and a
data processing module are included. The all-optical random code
optical path module is composed of a
polarization controller (PC), an electro-
optical modulator (EOM), an
erbium-doped
optical fiber amplifier (EDFA), a highly
nonlinear optical fiber (HNLF), a band-pass filter (BPF) and a first
optical fiber coupler which are sequentially connected through optical fibers, wherein EOM
electric control signals are connected through a
chaotic entropy source. The
heterodyne interference light path module is composed of a single-frequency
laser, a second
optical fiber coupler, an upper interference arm, a lower interference arm, an optical
fiber circulator, an acoustic
optical modulator (AOM) and a third
optical fiber coupler; the
sensor array module is composed of a plurality of optical
fiber weak reflection points (FWR) and optical fiber sensors connected between the FWR and the FWR. The
data processing module is composed of a photoelectric
detector (PD), a plurality of
delay units, a plurality of multipliers, a phase demodulator and a computer. The method has the advantages that on the basis of a traditional digital heterodyne interference
demodulation method, a
chaotic entropy source all-optical true random code is introduced to serve as a digital modulation
signal, and the spatial resolution of a
demodulation system can be improved to the magnitude of cm as high as 10 Gb / s; the infinite code length effect of the all-optical random code in the chaotic
signal enhanced heterodyne interference breaks through the signal-to-
noise ratio limit of the traditional digital enhanced heterodyne interference method.
