The method comprises steps of generating N periodic orthogonal optical pulse sequence; injecting the N periodic orthogonal optical pulse sequence into the optical fiber under test(5); collecting the scattered light signal; demodulating the scattered light signal with the local oscillating light and then converting into digital signals; extracting the scatter information of the orthogonal optical pulses from the collected digital signals; and arranging the scattered information in order of precedence of the infusion. The measurement speed of the distributed optical fiber sensors is improved by N−1 times.

A random distributed Rayleigh feedback fiber laser based on a double-cladding weakly ytterbium-doped fiber includes: a pump laser source, a pump combiner, a cladding power stripper, and a double-cladding weakly ytterbium-doped fiber for simultaneously achieving distributed active gain and random distributed Rayleigh feedback. An output end of the pump combiner is connected with one end of the double-cladding weakly ytterbium-doped fiber, the other end of the double-cladding weakly ytterbium-doped fiber is connected with an input end of the cladding power stripper, and a concentration of ytterbium ions in the double-cladding weakly ytterbium-doped fiber is in a range of 0.5×1023 to 1×1027/m3. The laser provided by the present invention solves the problem that the existing random fiber lasers cannot simultaneously utilize distributed active gain and random distributed Rayleigh feedback with a single type of fiber.
