    摘要: An interferometric measurement system suppresses cross talk between optical waveguides used to measure one or more parameters. A first interferometric measurement channel coupled to a first waveguide, and a second interferometric measurement channel coupled to a second waveguide. At least one of the channels includes a reference light path in addition to the first and second waveguides. A reference path optical delay is associated with the reference light path, a first optical delay is associated with the input portion of at least one of the first and second interferometric measurement channels, and a second, optical delay is associated with an output portion of the one interferometric measurement channel. A value of the first optical delay and a value the second optical delay are chosen to suppress crosstalk associated with the other of the first and second interferometric measurement channels in the one interferometric measurement channel over a predetermined length of the first waveguide. Signals corresponding to the reference light path and the first and second interferometric measurement channels are processed to measure one or more parameters.

    摘要: One or more mechanical parameters of a structure subjected to a force or condition are measured using distributed, optical fiber sensing technology. At least a curved portion an optical fiber having is attached to an object. A distributed, optically- based, strain sensing technique is used to determine strain information associated with multiple points along the curved portion of the fiber. The determined strain information is processed to generate one or more representations of one or more of the following: an expansion of the object, a thermal gradient associated with the object, or a stress- induced strain at multiple locations on the object corresponding to ones of the multiple points. An output is generated corresponding to the representation.

    摘要: An accurate measurement method and apparatus are disclosed for shape sensing with a multi-core fiber. A change in optical length is detected in ones of the cores in the multi-core fiber up to a point on the multi-core fiber. A location and/or a pointing direction are/is determined at the point on the multi-core fiber based on the detected changes in optical length. The accuracy of the determination is better than 0.5% of the optical length of the multi-core fiber up to the point on the multi-core fiber. In a preferred example embodiment, the determining includes determining a shape of at least a portion of the multi-core fiber based on the detected changes in optical length.
