  • Patent number: 11462880
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a distributed pulsed light amplifier based on optical fiber parametric amplification, comprising a pump pulsed light source, a sensing pulsed light source, a synchronization device, a two-in-one optical coupler, an optical circulator, a parametric amplification optical fiber, a first optical filter, a photoelectric detector and a signal acquisition device. According to the distributed pulsed light amplifier, high-power pulsed light is used as pump light to generate an optical fiber parametric amplification effect near a zero-dispersion wavelength of an optical fiber, thereby amplifying a power of another sensing pulsed light. Meanwhile, due to the fact that effective optical fiber parametric amplification cannot be achieved through low-power light leakage outside a duration interval of the pump pulsed light, leaked light from the sensing pulsed light cannot be amplified, and the effect of amplifying a pulse extinction ratio can be achieved at the same time.
