Background
When light is transmitted in an optical fiber, the change of physical fields such as temperature, strain or electromagnetic field in the external environment can change parameters such as light intensity, wavelength, phase, frequency, polarization state and the like of the transmitted light. The change of the physical field parameter can be demodulated by monitoring the change of the parameter of the transmitted light, namely the sensing of the sensing physical quantity is realized by using the optical fiber.

However, most sensing systems relying on a single optical parameter are difficult to realize temperature and strain common sensing, and some sensing systems even have a cross sensitivity problem, and errors are introduced in actual monitoring, so that the change of temperature and strain cannot be distinguished. With the application of special optical fibers and the development of technologies based on other scattering mechanism sensing and the like, the temperature strain cross sensitivity problem is solved to a certain extent, but higher spatial resolution is difficult to ensure, and application bottlenecks exist in occasions needing short distance and high spatial resolution, such as spacecraft internal link diagnosis, medical instrument structure deformation monitoring and the like, so that a high spatial resolution temperature strain simultaneous sensing scheme is needed.
