The measuring method is a digital signal processing method, is restricted by the effective bit (quantization noise) of a data acquisition card, does not reduce the phase noise of a laser at all, and is difficult to further improve the measuring precision of an external vibration signal; to the aboveIn order to solve the problems, the present disclosure provides a light source frequency shift calibration auxiliary channel structure and an optical fiber vibration measurement device.
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.

For a system, the phase noise of the laser may reduce the measurement accuracy of the system and 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.
Based on quadratic difference

The detailed working principle of the measuring method is as follows:
in the classic
Figure DEST_PATH_GDA0002747983170000054
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 passes through an acousto-optic modulator (Acous) with a frequency shift functionAn Optical Amplifier (generally, Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA)) performs power compensation, enters a port of the circulator 1, exits through a port of the circulator 3, enters a sensing Fiber, acquires vibration measurement information along the Fiber, and generates backward rayleigh scattered light carrying environmental vibration information, which passes through the port of the circulator 3 again and exits from a 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
Figure DEST_PATH_GDA0002747983170000052
The measuring method is a digital signal processing method, does not reduce the phase noise of the laser at all, and does not consider the feasible scheme of improving and suppressing the phase noise of the measurement by the optical path structure.
