Problems solved by technology

[0005] (1) Interferometric detection method, the light source used is continuous laser, so the disadvantage of this type of method is that it cannot detect multi-point vibration at the same time;

[0006] (2) Phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry, its single detection method makes the optical pulse width and pulse energy need to be compromised, which limits the simultaneous improvement of the spatial resolution, signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range of the system, and it is difficult to meet the real sound wave distribution Sensing requirements

Existing technologies have major deficiencies in the complete and high-fidelity recording of information such as the amplitude, phase, and frequency of acoustic waves at each position of the optical fiber
