Abstract

A vibration distribution measurement system includes a frequency sweep light source that outputs frequency sweep light, an optical splitter that splits the frequency sweep light into probe light and local light, an optical mixer that mixes backscattered light from the sensing fiber as signal light with the local light, the backscattered light being obtained by causing the probe light to be incident on the sensing fiber, and an analysis unit that analyzes a beat signal obtained from output light of the optical mixer. The analysis unit estimates a distance offset from a measurement result obtained by measuring a distribution waveform of the signal light by measuring the beat signal at a measurement time sufficiently shorter than a cycle of the vibration of the sensing fiber, and measures a distribution of a vibration at any position by compensating for the distance offset.
