Description

Distributed optical fiber sensing system and method based on multiple-pulse multi-wavelength
Technical field
The invention belongs to distributed fiberoptic sensor technical field more particularly to a kind of distributions based on multiple-pulse multi-wavelength Formula optical fiber sensing system and method.
Background technique
Distributing optical fiber sensing is an important application of sensory field of optic fibre, and compared to point sensor, distribution is passed The advantage that the advantages that sensor is with the obvious advantage, at low cost, easy to process is much applied, on circumference security protection, pipe detection, ground Matter exploration, distributed temperature measuring etc. have occupied the apparent market advantage in fields, it can detect the vibration along optical cable in real time The physical quantitys such as dynamic, temperature, strain, good market prospect.
Currently, the system of distributed measurement is based primarily upon back scattering principle, the principle of this system is after utilizing to scattered The change of properties of light is penetrated to realize detection, phase, polarization state, frequency including rear orientation light change etc..Common principle packet Include phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer (φ-OTDR), polarization sensitive optical time domain reflectometer (P-OTDR), Brillouin light time domain Reflectometer (B-OTDR), Raman optical time domain reflectometer (R-OTDR).Wherein phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer (φ-OTDR) is outstanding It is suitble to over long distances, high spatial resolution, the use occasion of high s/n ratio.It can be used for vibration detecting, sound sensor, circumference security protection Equal fields.
The basic principle of Φ-OTDR is the phase of the backward Rayleigh scattering light generated by the pulsed light injected in demodulation optical fiber Position variation is to realize phase demodulating.When the vibration the effects of on optical fiber, this power will change the refractive index in optical fiber axial direction, The light phase for further causing the position changes, and vibration signal can be obtained by analysis light phase variation.It is common at present Distributed sensing system in, common detection demodulation scheme include 3 × 3 coupler demodulations, phase generated carrier demodulation scheme, Digital coherent demodulation scheme, injected in these schemes every time light pulse in sensor fibre at most only one.Because if injection More than multiple light pulses, the Rayleigh scattering light that the backward Rayleigh scattering light that previous light pulse generates can be generated with the latter occurs Aliasing, a part for showing as the backward Rayleigh scattering light intensity of two pulses repeat, and can not demodulate the phase of repeating part Position.
Therefore with the increase of fiber lengths, the maximum repetition rate of pulse can be reduced, maximum repetition rate and fiber lengths Relationship is f=2nl/c, and wherein n is optical fiber effective refractive index.Light pulse one by one in Φ-ODTR system in injection fibre, this Matter is the discrete sampling to last position of optical fiber, therefore according to Shaimon Sampling Theorem, which visits the maximum of vibration signal Measured frequency is nl/c.It is simple signal since vibration signal is almost impossible, therefore actual detection maximum frequency is logical in actual conditions It is often nl/2c.In a 100Km system, calculating gained maximum repetition rate is 1KHz, without down-sampled actual detection Maximum frequency is only 250Hz, this cannot achieve the detection of high-frequency vibration and sound wave.If guaranteeing to detect maximum frequency 10 sets of 10Km systems are then needed in the case where rate, system cost will be greatly improved in this.It is combined using single light source cooperation frequency shifter flat After monochromatic light source power is divided n times by the schemes such as detector demodulation that weigh, power be will settle toSignal-to-noise ratio will increase quickly with N Deterioration.N number of different frequency shifters are controlled using N number of asynchronous signal simultaneously and also improve system complexity and cost, and are added without The circuit devcies such as mixer filter.And full light scheme combination multiple light courcess is used, optical power distribution devices are not used, do not will cause The decline of single pulse power.Keep the light of different wave length spatially separated using the combination of grating and circulator, while demodulation makes Circuit devcie is effectively reduced compared to the scheme of balanced detector with fibre optic interferometer, is more advantageous to the anti-electromagnetism spoke of raising system Penetrate ability.
