Location deviation compensation based on maximum cross correlation in optical frequency domain reflectometry
Abstract:
A location deviation compensation algorithm based on maximum cross correlation is proposed for optical frequency domain reflectometry. The characteristic change of fiber under test and the auxiliary interferometer induced by strain/temperature causes location deviation in the optical frequency domain reflectometry system, which in turn leads to demodulation errors. Compared to current available compensated methods, this algorithm simultaneously compensates the location deviation caused by the fiber under test and the auxiliary interferometer. The temperature variation experiments of the fiber under test and the auxiliary interferometer were carried out, respectively, and results show that the algorithm minimized the demodulation errors introduced by the location deviation.
