The invention discloses an interference type
optical fiber distribution disturbance sensor and a disturbance location method thereof, which relate to the technical field of
optical fiber distribution disturbance sensors. The sensor comprises a
light source, two detectors, a first Mach-Zehnder interferometer and a second Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The first Mach-Zehnder interferometer comprises a first
optical coupling device and a second
optical coupling device, wherein the first
coupling device divides light emitted by the
light source into two beams and sends the beams into the second
optical coupling device, the light beams are interfered in the second optical
coupling device, and the interfered light is respectively transmitted to a first
detector and the second Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The second Mach-Zehnder interferometer comprises a third optical
coupling device and a fourth optical coupling device, wherein the third optical coupling device divides the interfered light into two beams and transmits the beams to the fourth coupling device, the light beams are interfered in the fourth optical coupling device, and the interfered light is transmitted to a second
detector. The interference type
optical fiber distribution disturbance sensor and the disturbance location method of the disturbance sensor are simple in
hardware structure, low in cost, high in accuracy, easy to achieve and capable of being used for long-distance monitoring.
