Abstract:
An optical fiber changes a polarization state of a propagating light when at least one of a vibration and a displacement occurs. An optical transmitter inputs a first wavelength light to the optical fiber via a separator, and an optical transmitter inputs a second wavelength light to the optical fiber via a separator. The first and second wavelength lights propagated through the optical fiber in mutually opposite directions are respectively received by optical receivers (13 and 12) via the separators (18 and 17), and a fluctuation of a polarization is detected in polarization fluctuation detectors (16 and 15). A data processing device collects data indicating the fluctuation of the polarization detected by the polarization fluctuation detector and data indicating the fluctuation of the polarization detected by the polarization fluctuation detector.
