MilliKelvin resolution in cryogenic temperature distributed fibre sensing based on coherent Rayleigh scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
The response of a distributed temperature sensor based on coherent Rayleigh scattering is experimentally studied in the temperature range from 77 K up to 300 K, using fibres with standard and ORMOCER coating. A precise and absolute frequency scan is performed to obtain the best temperature resolution that turns out to be in the mK range. Experimental results point out that heating and cooling processes, at cryogenic temperatures, exhibit different temperature sensitivities when standard single-mode fibres are used; however, specially coated fibres exhibit better repeatability.

Novel technique for distributed fibre sensing based on coherent Rayleigh scattering measurements of birefringence
A novel distributed fibre sensing technique is described and experimentally validated, based on birefringence measurements using coherent Rayleigh scattering. It natively provides distributed measurements of temperature and strain with more than an order of magnitude higher sensitivity than Brillouin sensing, and requiring access to a single fibre-end. Unlike the traditional Rayleigh-based cohe...
متن کاملDistributed liquid level sensors using self-heated optical fibers for cryogenic liquid management.
We present a continuous liquid level sensing system for both room temperature and cryogenic fluids with millimeter spatial resolution. Change of in-fiber Rayleigh backscattering signal from the distinct thermal response of the heated sensing fiber in liquid and in air were interrogated and spatially resolved using the optical frequency domain reflectometry. Both electrical and optical heating t...
متن کاملRayleigh scatter based order of magnitude increase in distributed temperature and strain sensing by simple UV exposure of optical fibre
We present a technique to improve signal strength, and therefore sensitivity in distributed temperature and strain sensing (DTSS) using Frequency domain Rayleigh scatter. A simple UV exposure of a hydrogen loaded standard SMF-28 fibre core is shown to enhance the Rayleigh back-scattered light dramatically by ten-fold, independent of the presence of a Bragg grating, and is therefore created by t...
متن کاملReaching millikelvin resolution in Raman distributed temperature sensing using image processing
Image processing is proposed and experimentally demonstrated to improve the capabilities of Raman distributed optical fibre sensors. The here reported technique consists in stacking consecutive one-dimensional Raman Stokes and anti-Stokes traces in two-dimensional data arrays (one for each Raman component), which are then processed by an image denoising algorithm. Owing to the high level of cor...
