This study introduces a novel method for distributed fiber optic sensing, enabling simultaneous strain and temperature measurement. By analyzing Brillouin-loss peak power alongside frequency shift, it overcomes cross-sensitivity limitations.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Materials Science
  • Sensor Technology

Background:

  • Brillouin-scattering-based sensors offer distributed strain and temperature measurement along optical fibers.
  • Conventional methods rely on Brillouin-frequency shift, but suffer from cross-sensitivity between strain and temperature.
  • This ambiguity prevents accurate differentiation of strain and temperature using frequency shift alone.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel technique for simultaneous and accurate distributed measurement of strain and temperature in optical fibers.
  • To overcome the inherent cross-sensitivity limitations of traditional Brillouin-scattering sensors.
  • To achieve high-resolution measurements with improved accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • The study incorporates the measurement of Brillouin-loss peak power.

  • This is combined with the conventional Brillouin-frequency shift measurement.
  • This integrated approach allows for the decoupling of strain and temperature effects.

    • Main Results:

    • The new technique achieves simultaneous strain and temperature measurement.
    • High resolutions were demonstrated: +/-178 microepsilon for strain and +/-3.9 degrees C for temperature.
    • A spatial resolution of 3.5 meters was maintained.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method successfully enables simultaneous distributed strain and temperature sensing.
    • Incorporating Brillouin-loss peak power significantly enhances sensor accuracy by resolving cross-sensitivity.
    • This advancement offers improved performance for fiber optic sensing applications.
