Embodiment two
Embodiments provide a kind of method for detecting vibration based on COTDR, see Fig. 2, the method comprises:
Step 201: the pulse laser that N road wavelength is different is provided, and in each road pulse laser two continuous print pulses interval greater than equaling T, and the time interval between any two continuous print pulses not belonging to same road pulse laser is less than T, wherein, T=2Ln/C, L are the length of measuring optical fiber, and C is vacuum light speed, n is measuring optical fiber fiber core refractive index, N >=2.
Particularly, in a kind of implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, step 201 can realize in the following ways:

In the another kind of implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, in a kind of implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, step 201 can also realize in the following ways:
N number of pulsed laser is adopted to produce the different pulse laser of N road wavelength.
Further, in above-mentioned three kinds of implementations, in order to ensure continuous two pulses in each road pulse laser interval greater than equaling T, and the time interval between any two continuous print pulses not belonging to same road pulse laser is less than T, need to adopt clock signal to control acousto-optic modulator or pulsed laser.
Preferably, in a kind of implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, in each road pulse laser, the time interval of two continuous print pulses is equal to T, and the time interval between two the continuous print pulses not belonging to same road pulse laser is T/N.Now, signal sampling frequency is N/T.
Such as, the time interval of continuous two pulses in each road pulse laser is equal to T, and the time interval between continuous two pulses of not going the same way in pulse laser is T/3, thus make multiplexing after pulse laser in pulse between space interval and the time interval average.See Fig. 3, in the pulse laser in t1 moment measuring optical fiber, pulse is followed successively by λ

In embodiments of the present invention, the time interval of two continuous print pulses in each road pulse laser is all more than or equal to T, and the time interval between any two continuous print pulses not belonging to same road pulse laser is less than T, so both ensure that the pulse of often kind of wavelength in measuring optical fiber only can exist one simultaneously, in turn ensure that in measuring optical fiber to there is the different pulse of at least two wavelength simultaneously, make its sample frequency >=2/T, thus compared with prior art, improve sample frequency.
Further, may there is the situation of pulse overlap in above-mentioned pulse of not going the same way, and above-mentioned two the continuous print pulses not belonging to same road pulse laser do not comprise the situation of this pulse overlap.

Step 205: be separated backward Rayleigh scattering light, produces the Rayleigh scattering light that N number of wavelength is different.
Step 206: the Rayleigh scattering light different to isolated N number of wavelength carries out opto-electronic conversion, obtains N number of electric signal.
Step 207: adopt electric signal to position vibration.
Particularly, step 207, comprising:
Step one, the voltage of N number of electric signal to be averaged, to obtain average electrical signal.
Whether sign mutation is there is in step 2, detection average electrical signal.
Wherein, sign mutation refers to the magnitude of voltage sudden change of average electrical signal, and namely the phase place of magnitude of voltage exceedes preset range.
Step 3, when there is sign mutation in average electrical signal, determining to there is vibration around measuring optical fiber, and vibration to be positioned.
Particularly, vibration is positioned, can in the following way:
Electric signal is sampled, in the time period T from the moment of pulses generation, a point of sampling;
Determine the position residing for jump signal point, such as catastrophe point is b, b≤a;
According to the position residing for jump signal point, can determine that this vibration source distance be in apart from measuring optical fiber incidence end is the position of measuring optical fiber length b/a.
Such as, when adopting 100 points, the 20th point is undergone mutation, then can determine that this vibration source distance be in apart from measuring optical fiber incidence end is the position of measuring optical fiber length 1/5.
Wherein, step 201, when the pulse laser providing N road wavelength different, adopts identical clock signal with step 207, thus can carry out the location of vibration source more accurately.
The embodiment of the present invention is by producing the different pulse laser of N road wavelength, continuous two pulses interval greater than equaling T in each road pulse laser, and the time interval between any two continuous print pulses not belonging to same road pulse laser is less than T, due to N >=2, T=2Ln/C, L is the length of measuring optical fiber, C is vacuum light speed, n is measuring optical fiber fiber core refractive index, therefore the burst transmissions of at least 2 different wave lengths in section T at any time can be ensured in measuring optical fiber, because the pulse of different wave length is transmitted in measuring optical fiber simultaneously, the phenomenons such as interference can not be produced, therefore avoid prior art and only allow the pulse laser of the interior only existence of section T at any time in measuring optical fiber, cause the problem that signal sampling frequency is low, improve vibration signal sample frequency, the vibration signal that making samples obtains is more complete.
