The invention provides an
optical fiber polarization mode dispersion distributed measurement method and
system, and the method comprises the steps: enabling pulse polarized light to enter a to-be-measured
optical fiber with unknown parameters for transmission, and enabling the polarization state of the pulse polarized light to randomly change at different positions of the to-be-measured
optical fiber when the pulse polarized light is transmitted in the to-be-measured optical
fiber due to a
birefringence effect; detecting the polarization state of
Rayleigh scattering light of the pulse polarized light, and constructing a polarized light
time domain reflection curve; effective features of the polarized light
time domain reflection curve are extracted and input into a pre-trained
machine learning model, a
polarization mode dispersion prediction result of the to-be-measured optical
fiber is obtained, and distributed
polarization mode dispersion measurement is achieved; compared with a traditional distributed polarization mode dispersion measurement scheme, the method only needs to emit the detection
pulse light once, is low in cost and high in precision, does not need to change the optical
signal polarization state of the receiving end for multiple times, is simple in
system and convenient to install, and effectively improves the measurement efficiency of distributed polarization mode dispersion.
