Light source noise: the linewidth of the laser cannot be infinitely narrow and there is always some phase noise (otherwise known as "frequency drift"). When pulsed light is transmitted in an optical fiber, the intensity of a backward Rayleigh scattering signal is affected by phase noise of the detected light to generate jitter, so that the signal-to-noise ratio of a measurement signal is reduced, and positioning and measurement errors of a measured vibration signal even fail.

System-wise, phase noise of laserThe sound can reduce the measurement accuracy of the system and reduce the spatial resolution of the system. Therefore, it is important to improve the phase noise of the optical wave. On one hand, the stability of the optical wave frequency can be improved and the phase noise can be reduced by improving the laser material, keeping the environmental temperature and humidity and the atmospheric pressure stable and the like; on the other hand, the adverse effects of the optical wave phase noise on the vibration measurement precision and the space positioning can be inhibited by designing a new optical path structure and a new data processing method.
For the former, on the basis of the existing laser manufacturing process and constant temperature, humidity and pressure treatment technology, the technology is not a technical method which is easy to realize in a short period; for the latter, a more general method is to use a quadratic difference method, which is an improved method of pure digital signal processing.

The detailed working principle of the measuring method is as follows:
in the classic
Figure BDA0002543545640000053
On the basis of the system structure, continuous light emitted by a narrow linewidth laser is divided into two paths through a coupler with a specific power ratio, wherein one path of continuous light is converted into pulse light with a specific width and period through an acousto-Optic Modulator (AOM) with a frequency shift function, the pulse light enters a port of a circulator 1 after being subjected to power compensation through an Optical Amplifier (generally, an Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA)), and then enters a sensing Optical Fiber through the port of the circulator 3 to obtain vibration measurement information along the Optical Fiber, and backward scattered light which carries environmental vibration information and is generated in the sensing Optical Fiber passes through the port of the circulator 3 again and then exits from the port of the circulator 2.
The other path of continuous light which is branched after the continuous light emitted by the light source passes through the coupler with the specific power ratio is used as local reference light. The local reference light and the backward Rayleigh scattered light emitted from the port 2 of the circulator generate coherent signals through a coupler with the ratio of 50:50, the coherent signals are converted into electric signals through a photoelectric detector and enter a data acquisition card, digital signals are obtained, data processing is carried out on the electric signals, and environmental vibration information along the optical fiber is obtained.
However, based on quadratic differences

The coupler 2, the transmission fiber without the delay fiber, the transmission fiber with the delay fiber 2, and the 90-degree optical mixer constitute a classical mach-zehnder fiber interferometer, the difference in the length of the interference arms being determined by the delay fiber 2. Based on the Mach-Zehnder optical fiber interferometer, the 90-degree optical mixer obtains two mutually orthogonal interference optical signals, respectively outputs the two interference optical signals to the photoelectric balance detector 1 and the photoelectric balance detector 2, converts the two interference optical signals into two interference electric signals and outputs the two interference electric signals to the tracker.

wherein A represents the amplitude of light waves, v0Representing the frequency of the optical wave, with a constant 193.5THz (corresponding to a wavelength of 1550 nm) or 229.0THz (corresponding to a wavelength of 1310 nm), θ (t) representing the phase noise of the light source, and t representing time.
And 2, dividing the continuous light of the laser into two paths, wherein 1 path obtains two paths (an I path and a Q path) of orthogonal interference signals by using a classical Mach-Zehnder interferometer:
I(t)=B cos(2πν0τ+Δθ(t)) (2)
