The invention discloses a
signal-to-
noise ratio improvement method based on a multi-
core optical fiber dual-channel
distributed acoustic sensing system, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the light splitting of light emitted by a narrow linewidth
laser through a first coupler C1, enabling one path of light to generate a pulse
signal through an acoustic
optical modulator (AOM), enabling the other path of light to pass through a second coupler C2, and enabling the other path of light to pass through a second coupler C1; the
pulse light is divided into two beams of transmission light, the two beams of transmission light are injected into a connected sensing
optical fiber through two groups of
erbium-doped
optical fiber amplifiers (EDFA), two groups of filters, two groups of circulators and a fan-in coupler Fan-in Coupler, and the
pulse light is subjected to backward
Rayleigh scattering in the sensing
optical fiber; based on a dual-channel DAS
system, a multi-
core optical fiber is used as a sensing optical
fiber, three cores and four cores of the multi-
core optical fiber are connected in series to form two sensing channels, seven-core space division signals are multiplexed, the equivalent self-
noise pressure suppression effect of the seven-core space division signals is analyzed, after
noise correlation is removed through a
time domain dislocation-
frequency domain phase shift method, the
signal-to-noise ratio
gain can be increased to 8.65 dB, and the signal-to-noise ratio
gain can be increased to 8.65 dB. And the detection capability of the
system on low-frequency weak signals can be improved.
