Abstract

En 中文
The dual-pulse heterodyne demodulation distributed acoustic sensing (HD-DAS) system has superior performance but is fundamentally limited by the short sensing range, which poses a significant obstacle to its application in long-distance monitoring. This paper proposes and experimentally demonstrates a novel binary-tree structure DAS (BTS-DAS) aimed at overcoming this critical limitation. By physically decoupling the long-distance transmission fiber from the final sensing part, this structure effectively expands the system's remote sensing capability without compromising the high pulse repetition rate for high-performance measurement. We identified modulation instability (MI), rather than stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), as the dominant nonlinear noise source in the extended fiber chain. Through careful power management, we established an optimal launch power window. The practical feasibility of the system was verified during on-site testing, where vibrations were successfully detected over a 10 km transmission link with sensing occurring in the 250 m sensing fiber segment, achieving a low background noise of -59.79 dB ref rad/Hz. This work presents a robust and scalable solution for long-range, high-performance acoustic sensing.
