Abstract
Phase sensitive optical time domain reflectometry is suitable for vibration detection due to its high sensitivity. However, for conventional amplitude-measuring method, the strain-amplitude relation is nonlinear and the monotonic interval of strain-amplitude transfer function is very small (corresponding to less than 2π phase shift in light duration). Thus, the vibration detection is qualitative and it is difficult to distinguish different kinds of vibrations. In this letter, a quantitative vibration measurement by analyzing the differential phase in the interrogated fiber separation is proposed. A statistics calculating method is present to suppress the uncertainty in phase-measuring. Dynamic strain of 400 nε (peak-to-peak, corresponding to phase shift of 17 rad) was reproduced with high quality by proposed method.
