Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical fiber acoustic wave sensors, and more specifically relates to an optical fiber acoustic wave sensor and a fiber optic acoustic wave detection method. Background technique [0002] The basic working principle of the optical fiber sensor is to send light into the modulator through the optical fiber, so that after the parameter to be measured interacts with the light entering the modulation area, the optical properties of the light (such as the intensity, wavelength, frequency, phase, and normal state of the light) etc.) changes, which is called the modulated signal light, which is sent to the photodetector through the optical fiber, and after demodulation, the measured parameters are obtained. Optical fiber sensors can be used to measure a variety of physical quantities, such as sound field, electric field, pressure, temperature, angular velocity, acceleration, etc., and can also complete measurement tasks th...
