Problems solved by technology

However, for small strain changes less than 1 microstrain, the Rayleigh scattering spectral cross-correlation method is still difficult to achieve effective demodulation. Currently, a new demodulation method is still needed to achieve higher spatial resolution and higher sensitivity strain transmission. sense, this method is also applicable to temperature sensing

[0057] Embodiments of the invention provide a demodulation method for optical frequency domain reflective distributed sensing based on relative phase change, and strain sensing is taken as an example here. This sensing method is corresponding to the sensing system in embodiment 1, as figure 2 As shown, the steps of the sensing demodulation method are:

[0058] In the first step, OFDR is measured twice, one for reference data and one for measurement data, where the reference data is no strain change and the measurement data is strain change. In the main OFDR interferometer, the beat frequency interference signal is formed by the Rayleigh backscattering of the sensing fiber, which can be expressed as:

[0059]

[0060] where f 0 is the initial optical frequency, τ is the delay difference between the test light reflected at any position and the local oscillator reference light, R(τ) is the reflection coefficient, γ is the frequency sweep rate of the light source, Represen...

[0080] The verification experiment of the embodiment of the present invention is to use the sensing fiber 23 as a continuous grating fiber. The long-distance fiber grating has a length of 34 m and consists of 3400 segments, each of which is 10 mm long. The grating length is 9 mm and the center wavelength is 1550 nm.

[0081] One end of the 40 cm at the end of the sensing fiber 23 is fixed, and the other end is glued to the nanometer displacement platform. The fiber is stretched from 0.1 to 1 micron, thus imparting 0.25 to 2.5 microstrain to the fiber. During the stretching process, data acquisition is carried out, and the corresponding micro-strain data are obtained. In the third segment, when 480 points are taken as the window, it means that the resolution of the whole system is 4.35cm...
