The demodulation and positioning principle for temperature and stress measurement in the embodiment of the present invention is described below.
1. Chaotic pulse reference signal and chaotic Raman anti-Stokes signal light intensity processing
(1) Acquisition and processing of chaotic raman anti-stokes signals
In temperature demodulation, let the laser pulse width be W, the backward Raman anti-Stokes scattering signal (anti-Stokes) intensity at the position of the sensing fiber L is:
wherein P is the incident power of the pulse laser, K as Representing the coefficient related to the raman anti-stokes backscattering cross section, S being the backscattering factor of the fiber, v as Is the frequency of the raman anti-stokes scattering signal, phi e Representing the pulse laser light flux, alpha, coupled into the fiber 0 、α as The loss coefficients of incident light and anti-Stokes light in the sensing optical fiber per unit length are respectively L is the length of the sensing light, R as (T) is the temperature modulation function of the anti-stokes scattered light:
Δν is raman shift, h is planck constant, k is boltzmann constant, and T is sensing fiber temperature.
In fact, in the distributed optical fiber raman sensing system, the detection signal is a pulse signal, so that the information collected by the high-speed data collection card at a certain moment is not the light intensity information of one point at the position of the optical fiber L, but the superposition of the light intensity information of a section of optical fiber with the sensing distance equal to half pulse width of the whole pulse signal. The detection signal used in the millimeter-scale spatial resolution distributed optical fiber Raman sensing method based on the chaotic matched filtering method is a chaotic pulse signal, and the power of the whole pulse signal is in a random fluctuation state. Therefore, when the chaotic pulse sequence with the pulse width W of the detection signal is adopted, the chaotic Raman anti-Stokes signal intensity at the position of the sensing optical fiber L is acquired by the high-speed data acquisition card and can be expressed as follows:
in the formula ,the light intensity accumulation information of the chaos anti-Stokes scattering signal collected by the high-speed data collection card at the position of the sensing optical fiber L is shown,c is the speed of light and n is the refractive index of the sensing fiber.

(3) And (3) chromatographic processing of the chaotic Raman anti-Stokes signal.
And collecting the obtained chaotic Raman anti-Stokes scattered light signals, wherein each sampling point is the superposition of light intensity information of the whole chaotic pulse sequence in the length of an optical fiber with half pulse width. And performing chromatographic processing on the sampling signal, namely subtracting the amplitude of the sampling signal at the previous moment from the amplitude of the sampling signal at the next moment in the adjacent moments, wherein the expression is as follows:

The intensity of the Raman anti-Stokes signal processed by chromatography is close to 0 in the non-temperature-changing area of the optical fiber, and the intensity of the signal in the temperature-changing area depends on the temperature of the temperature-changing area. Therefore, the reference signal and the chromatographic-processed Raman anti-Stokes signal are subjected to chaos matched filtering operation, and the relative peak position is the position information of the corresponding temperature change of the sensing optical fiber. When the delay time is m 1 The temperature change area is positioned at the time scale as followsThe temperature change area position under the spatial scale is as follows:
