- the Z axis is set in the longitudinal direction of the optical fiber section 21 with the origin of the reference optical fiber section 21 -1 as the coordinate origin.
- D L of 2 1 is obtained as a representative collectively loss in the loop of the optical power bra 64 optical fiber 21 ⁇ light force bra 1 9 ⁇ optical amplifier 63 ⁇ light force bra 64.
- P s (k) (z) indicates the probe light intensity of the frequency s at the k-th z position.
- R (k) (z) indicates the polarization coefficient of the second pulse light and the probe light at the k-th z position, and is a random number from 0 to 1 in a single mode optical fiber.
- ⁇ (z, s) is the Brillouin amplification coefficient for frequency s at position z, and basically depends on strain and temperature when the wavelength is determined.
- S ⁇ ( ⁇ ) is the energy density of the second pulsed light, and is expressed as in Expression 7.
- Equation 8 holds.
- R j k Is the average value of random numbers, so if the number of rounds k is increased, the value of each minute section can be approximated by the same constant.
- the distributed optical fiber sensor system 14 in the present embodiment has the effect of looping Brillouin scattered light in addition to the effect of the distributed optical fiber sensor system 10 in the first embodiment.
- the polarization state of the second pulse and the probe light is averaged. Therefore, it is possible to cope with dynamically changing strain changes and temperature changes.
- the lateral pressure is applied to the structure 1, the lateral pressure is also applied to the optical fiber 21 and the optical fiber 21 is distorted in the radial direction.
- This radial distortion is caused by the average scattering gain spectrum (average scattering gain spectrum) for various polarizations and the scattering gain spectrum (specific scattering gain spectrum) for a specific polarization.
- the lateral pressure of each minute section can be obtained.
- FIG. 22 is a view showing a flow chart when the lateral pressure is obtained.
- the polarization plane of the polarization controller 18 is adjusted to an appropriate polarization plane (S 41), and the scattering gain spectrum is obtained by S 12 to S 16 described with reference to FIG. (S42).
- S 41 and S 42 are repeated while changing the polarization polarization by a predetermined number of times appropriate to obtain the average (S 43).
- the scattering gain vectors for each polarization plane are averaged to obtain an average.
- the scattering gain spectrum is obtained (S44).
- the polarization plane of the polarization controller 18 is maintained at a specific polarization plane (S45), and the scattering gain spectrum (specific scattering gain) for this specific polarization plane is determined by S12 to S16. (S4 6).
- the polarization coefficient is determined from the average scattering gain spectrum and the specific scattering gain spectrum, and the lateral pressure is determined (S47).
- the distributed optical fiber sensor system propagates the first pulsed light, and then propagates the second pulsed light that generates the Brillouin scattered light for measurement. No transient phenomenon occurs in the scattered light. Therefore, the strain and the temperature can be measured more accurately than before.
