摘要

An optical fiber sensor includes: a transmitting unit configured to output two lights into an optical fiber, wavelengths of the two lights being different from each other at a specific time, and at least one of the wavelengths of the two lights varying with time; and a measuring unit configured to receive back-scattered light output from the optical fiber and detect a temporal variation of an optical phase at an arbitrary interval in a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber by measuring measure an interference state of the two lights.
