A noise reduction method based on a nonlinear filter is thus proposed in this paper. Compared with the temperature demodulation results of raw signals, the proposed method in this paper can reduce the average maximum deviation of temperature measurement results from 4.1°C to 1.2°C at 40.0°C, 50.0°C and 60.0°C. And the proposed method in this paper can improve the accuracy of temperature measurement of Raman-based distributed temperature sensor better than the commonly used wavelet transform-based method. The advantages of the proposed method in improving the accuracy of temperature measurement for Raman-based distributed temperature sensor are quantitatively reflected in the maximum deviation and root mean square error of temperature measurement results. Therefore, this paper proposes an effective and feasible method to improve the accuracy of temperature measurement results for Raman-based distributed temperature sensor.展开更多

In this scheme, the composition scale was determined simply by the WTMM amplitude variation with the growth of the decomposition scale at 30 ℃, and the signal WTMM was obtained by the wavelet decomposition modulus on every decomposition scale based on the modulus propagating difference between the signal and noise. Then, we reconstructed the signal using the signal WTMM. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective for de-noising, allowing for a temperature error decrease of about 1 ℃ at 40 ℃ and 50℃ comparing to the original data.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a novel calibration technique to measure the temperature highly accurately over a wide range of temperatures. We also propose an improved double-ended configuration that is insusceptible to the differential loss change in the fiber and suitable for the field use. Then, we developed an interrogator that had high robustness in harsh environments.展开更多

A hybrid technique combining the incoherent optical frequency domain reflectometry （IOFDR） and the three-channel simultaneous radio-frequency （RF） lock-in amplifier （LIA） is presented to improve the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） of the measured spontaneous Raman backscattered light. The field programmable gate array （FPGA） based RF-LIA is designed with a novel and simple structure. The measurement frequency range is achieved from 1 kHz to 100 MHz. Experimental results show that the backscattered light signal of picowatt level can be detected with high SNR. With a 2.5kin single-mode fiber, a 1064nm laser source, and the measurement time of 500 s, this sensing system can reach a spatial resolution of 0.93 m and a temperature resolution of about 0.2℃.展开更多
