Abstract:
Raman distributed optical fiber temperature sensing (RDTS) has been extensively studied for decades because it enables accurate temperature measurements over long distances. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the main factor limiting the sensing distance and temperature accuracy of RDTS. We manufacture a low water peak optical fiber (LWPF) with low transmission loss to improve the SNR for long-distance application. Additionally, an optimized denoising neural network algorithm is developed to reduce noise and improve temperature accuracy. Finally, a maximum temperature uncertainty of 1.77 °C is achieved over a 24 km LWPF with a 1 m spatial resolution and a 1 s averaging time.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
Raman Spectroscopy: Overview
However, a small fraction of the scattered light exhibits a frequency shift due to the exchange of energy between the incident photons and...
