Title:
光ファイバケーブルセンシング装置、光ファイバケーブルセンシング方法、及びプログラム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP7315009
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The present invention intends to provide an optical fiber cable sensing apparatus capable of measuring longitudinal directional distribution of curvature and torsion, without using a specially structured optical fiber sensor. This apparatus includes means for inputting data of longitudinal directional distribution of distortion (bending loss, polarization variation) measured for each optical fiber accommodated in an optical fiber cable to be measured and data indicating the position of each measurement object optical fiber on a cable cross section, means for calculating curvature vector κ of the optical fiber cable to be measured, at the same spot, based on the distortion (bending loss, polarization variation) of each optical fiber at the spot and the position of the optical fiber on the cable cross section, and means for calculating torsion τ of the optical fiber cable to be measured at the spot from the calculated curvature vector κ.
