  • Patent number: 9287972
    Abstract: A distributed optical fiber sound wave detection device is provided with an optical pulse emission unit that causes an optical pulse to be incident into the optical fiber, and a Rayleigh scattered light reception unit that receives Rayleigh scattered light produced inside the optical fiber. The optical pulse emission unit outputs the optical pulse that is modulated using a code sequence which has a predetermined length and by which the optical pulse is divided into a plurality of cells. The Rayleigh scattered light reception unit includes a phase variation derivation unit that performs demodulation corresponding to the modulation in the optical pulse emission unit on the Rayleigh scattered light and determines a phase variation thereof from the demodulated Rayleigh scattered light, and a sound wave detection unit that determines a sound wave that has struck the optical fiber from the phase variation determined by the phase variation derivation unit.

  • Patent number: 8699009
    Abstract: The present invention provides a distributed optical fiber sensor capable of measuring the strain and temperature of an object to be measured simultaneously and independently with high spatial resolution. A distributed optical fiber sensor FS is a distributed optical fiber sensor which uses an optical fiber 15 as a sensor, and a strain and temperature detector 14 measures a Brillouin frequency shift amount caused by a strain and a temperature generated in the optical fiber 15 by using a Brillouin scattering phenomenon, measures a Rayleigh frequency shift amount caused by the strain and temperature generated in the optical fiber 15 by using a Rayleigh scattering phenomenon, and calculates the strain and temperature generated in the optical fiber 15 from the measured Brillouin frequency shift amount and Rayleigh frequency shift amount.
