Background

In recent years, sensing technology has been receiving attention from more and more researchers, and various sensors have been widely used in various industrial fields. Optical fiber sensing, as a novel sensing technology, is favored by researchers in various countries in the world by virtue of its unique advantages of small size, light weight, high transmission speed, corrosion resistance, no electromagnetic interference, low cost and the like. The optical fiber sensing technology utilizes the characteristics of the amplitude, phase, polarization state, wavelength and the like of optical signals transmitted in optical fibers, which are sensitive to parameters of external physical quantities such as temperature, pressure, vibration and the like, and obtains external information quantities through a series of demodulation technical means. The optical fiber is used as a transmission medium and a sensing medium, so that full-distributed sensing can be realized, and the optical fiber has the advantage that the traditional electric sensor cannot be replaced.

With the continuous improvement of the practical application requirements of engineering, people no longer satisfy the sensing detection of only a single physical quantity but hope to obtain more external parameter information at the same time, wherein temperature, strain and vibration are the most basic and extremely important three parameters, and the research on the sensing technology of multi-parameter simultaneous distributed measurement becomes a big problem in the optical fiber sensing technology. On one hand, the multi-parameter real-time measurement puts higher requirements on the consistency of the laser, wherein the Raman optical time domain reflectometer (R-OTDR) technology requires high enough fiber-entering optical power, the phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer (phi-OTDR) technology and the Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer (B-OTDR) technology require the use of a narrow-linewidth laser, and for the narrow-linewidth laser, the excessively high fiber-entering optical power can generate larger nonlinear effect influence on a backward Rayleigh scattering signal and a Brillouin scattering signal in an optical fiber, and the fast attenuation of the scattering signal is mainly expressed; on the other hand, various multiplexing technologies and light splitting technologies used for multi-parameter real-time measurement provide higher signal-to-noise ratio requirements for backscattered light signals in optical fibers, and the traditional optical amplification scheme can cause uneven amplification of the light signals and can generate higher noise coefficients, thereby seriously affecting the detection of the backscattered signals.

Therefore, the invention provides a method for combining a parallel narrow-band filtering-cascade amplification structure with time-sharing strong and weak voltage driving on the basis of a narrow-line width laser, which realizes the fusion of three systems on the same single-mode fiber, constructs a structure combining time-controlled second-order distributed random laser amplification and time-controlled first-order distributed Raman amplification, and uniformly amplifies optical signals in all the fibers in a distributed manner, thereby realizing the simultaneous distributed sensing detection of three parameters of external temperature, strain and vibration, having wide market application space and having important significance on the research of novel optical fiber sensing technology.
