In recent years, the frequent occurrence of road traffic accidents seriously threatens the life and property safety of people, how to eliminate traffic hidden dangers as early as possible and timely positioning the occurrence point of the accidents are key links for realizing quick rescue. The distributed phase-sensitive optical time domain reflection system is an effective solution for realizing the intelligent guardrail, when the system is applied to pre-buried optical fibers in a road, the refractive index of the optical fibers can be changed by sound/vibration signals, the variable quantity of phase information carried by coherent backward Rayleigh scattering light at the corresponding position and the optical fiber strain are in a linear correlation relationship at the moment, real-time and all-weather acquisition and analysis of traffic information in the road can be realized through phase recovery processing, and the system has the advantages of electromagnetic interference resistance, corrosion resistance, electric insulation, high sensitivity, good reliability and low cost. Therefore, the selection of a proper phase demodulation method is the key to realize the quantitative and accurate demodulation of the sound/vibration signals.
The phase demodulation method based on the distributed phase-sensitive optical time domain reflection system mainly comprises a digital I/Q demodulation method based on a heterodyne coherent structure and a passive homodyne demodulation method based on an interferometer structure. Among them, the digital I/Q demodulation method based on the heterodyne coherent demodulation structure (liu limin, wang xu, vast, etc. the photonics newspaper 2018, 47 (08): 219-. Therefore, the practical engineering application mostly adopts a demodulation structure based on an interferometer, including a 3 × 3 coupler demodulation method and a phase generation carrier algorithm. A demodulation algorithm (He Q, Zhu T, Xiao X, et al. IEEE Photonics Technology Letters,2013,25(20):1955 and 1957.) based on a 3X 3 coupler introduces three paths of output optical signals into fixed phase differences of 120 degrees, the demodulation algorithm is simple, but three identical photodetectors are required in the signal acquisition process, which inevitably brings measurement errors and increases the system cost. The patent application with publication number CN103759750A discloses a distributed optical fiber sensing system based on a Phase Generation Carrier (PGC) technology, which introduces a carrier signal outside a measured bandwidth band, effectively improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the system, and therefore, the system has high sensitivity and good linear responsivity. However, the PGC demodulation algorithm implemented by the arctangent method has a problem of phase unwrapping, and the PGC demodulation algorithm implemented by differential cross phase multiplication (DCM) has a problem of being greatly affected by light source fluctuation and easily generating harmonic distortion.
In patent cn201911072212.x, zhangchunyu et al adopts michelson interferometer and improved PGC demodulation scheme, and realizes elimination of polarization fading and carrier modulation depth influence by combining DCM and arctan algorithm, but the problem of carrier phase delay caused by unequal interferometer arm differences still exists.

Aiming at the technical problems that the PGC demodulation technology is easily influenced by light intensity fluctuation and carrier phase delay, the PGC method in the existing phase-sensitive optical time domain reflection system needs to be improved.
