摘要: Methods for determining sensor channel location in distributed sensing of fiber-optic cables are disclosed. In one method, three or more Fiber Bragg-Gratings (FBGs) connected in series by a standard telecommunication fiber and interrogated using an input distributed fiber-optic sensing (DFOS) laser, where the input DFOS laser has a single wavelength. The input DFOS laser operates on a single wavelength that is different than the respective wavelengths of each of the three or more FBGs. The three or more FBGs are interrogated using an input broadband FBG laser. Each FBG reflects a wavelength of laser light that is proportional to the grating size, using an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) at the FBG wavelength, the distance to the particular FBG in the optical domain is computed and compared to the physical measurement of the FBG location. The sensor channel locations of the DFOS system are calibrated and constrained using this method.

摘要: Systems, methods, and software for measuring the spatially variable relative dielectric permittivity of materials along a linear or otherwise configured sensor element, and more specifically the spatial variability of soil moisture in one dimension as inferred from the dielectric profile of the soil matrix surrounding a linear sensor element. Various methods described herein combine advances in the processing of time domain reflectometry data with innovations in physical sensing apparatuses. These advancements enable high temporal (and thus spatial) resolution of electrical reflectance continuously along an insulated waveguide that is permanently emplaced in contact with adjacent soils. The spatially resolved reflectance is directly related to impedance changes along the waveguide that are dominated by electrical permittivity contrast due to variations in soil moisture. Various methods described herein are thus able to monitor soil moisture in profile with high spatial resolution.

摘要: Methods and apparatus for fast sweeping a spectral bandwidth in order to distinguish among signals received from effectively wavelength division multiplexed (WDMed) and time division multiplexed (TDMed) optical components on a single fiber. For some embodiments, a method for interrogating optical elements having characteristic wavelengths spanning a sweep range is provided. The method generally includes introducing a pulse of light, by an optical source, into an optical waveguide to interrogate at least a first set of optical elements having different characteristic wavelengths by performing a sweep of wavelengths over a period of the pulse, wherein the period is less than a round-trip time for light reflected from an optical element closest to the optical source to reach a receiver and processing the reflected light to determine a parameter based on the times at which signals are received.

摘要: A flow rate sensing system can include an optical waveguide, an optical interrogator that detects optical scatter in the optical waveguide, and an emitter that produces vibration in response to flow, the optical scatter being influenced by the vibration. A method of measuring flow rate can include detecting optical scattering in an optical waveguide, the optical scattering varying in response to changes in vibration produced by an emitter, and the vibration changing in response to the flow rate changing. A well system can include at least one tubular string positioned in a wellbore, multiple locations at which fluid flows between an interior and an exterior of the tubular string, multiple emitters, each of which produces vibration in response to the flow between the interior and the exterior of the tubular string, and an optical waveguide in which optical scatter varies in response to changes in the vibration.
