The invention discloses a
system and a method for distributed optical fibre sensing measurement based on
Brillouin scattering. According to the invention, the
laser of the
system outputs two continuous
laser lights having a
wavelength difference of greater than 15 nm, and the
laser lights are split into a detection light and a local oscillation light via a wave combiner and a coupler; the detection light enters sensing optical fibres via an electro-
optical modulator and a
circulator which are connected with a pulse
signal generator, and a self-excited
Brillouin scattering light is accessed into the 3 dB coupler via the
circulator; and the local oscillation light is accessed into the 3 dB coupler as well, and the output of the 3 dB coupler is connected with a balance
detector and a
data acquisition and
processing unit which stores associated programs and formulas. The measurement method comprises the following steps that: the double-
wavelength detection light is modulated into a detection light pulse so as to generate self-excited
Brillouin scattering in the sensing optical fibres, and subjected to coherent
frequency mixing with the local oscillation light; the
data acquisition and
processing unit performs a frequency-sweep measurement on the difference-frequency
electric signal of the balance
detector so as to obtain Brillouin scattering frequency spectrums and Brillouin frequency shifts along different points of the optical fibres, and calculates to obtain the change amounts of a temperature and a strain. Via the
system and the method disclosed by the invention, simultaneous measurement for the temperature and the strain is realized, and the measurement accuracy is improved.
