摘要: A signal detecting device includes a multiplier that multiplies a measurement signal by a reference signal, a filter that filters a multiplication result from the multiplier, a first storage that stores an internal state of the filter; and a second storage that stores a filtering result from the filter. The filter filters the multiplication result using the internal state stored in the first storage. The first storage switches an area in or from which the filter writes or reads the internal state in accordance with an index signal representing a type of amplitude of a time-divisional signal in the measurement signal. The second storage switches an area in which the filtering result is stored in accordance with the index signal.

摘要: Systems and methods are provided for enabling improved sensitivity in low-gain regimes. Embodiments of the present disclosure use polarization pulling to separate a signal of interest (e.g., amplified probe light) from the background probe light. This enables a dramatic increase in probe power and thereby increases the signal-to-noise ratio of the measurement. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a vector subtraction technique to compensate for undesirable interference effects resulting from the finite extinction of standard polarization components (i.e. polarizing beam splitters) and polarization fluctuations. Embodiments of the present disclosure enable Brillouin sensing with improved accuracy in low-gain regimes and is particularly relevant for high-spatial resolution sensing applications.

摘要: A well system includes a fiber-optic cable that can be positioned downhole along a wellbore. The well system further includes a plurality of opto-electrical interfaces to communicatively couple to the fiber-optic cable to monitor temperature and strain along the fiber-optic cable. Additionally, the well system includes a processing device and a memory device that includes instructions executable by the processing device to cause the processing device to perform operations. The operations include receiving data representing frequency or phase shift measurements from the opto-electrical interfaces using at least two frequency or phase shift measurement techniques. Further, the operations include generating a temperature shift output and a strain change output using an inversion comprising sensitivity ratios and the data representing the frequency or phase shift measurements from the plurality of opto-electrical interfaces.

摘要: According to examples, a Brillouin and Rayleigh distributed sensor may include a first laser source to emit a first laser beam, and a second laser source to emit a second laser beam. A photodiode may acquire a beat frequency between the two laser beams. The beat frequency may be used to maintain a predetermined offset frequency shift between the two laser beams. A modulator may modulate the first laser beam. The modulated first laser beam is to be injected into a device under test (DUT), A coherent receiver may acquire a backscattered signal from the DUT. The backscattered signal results from the modulated first laser beam injected into the DUT. The coherent receiver may use the second laser beam as a local oscillator to determine Brillouin and Rayleigh traces with respect to the DUT based on the predetermined offset frequency shift.

摘要: According to examples, a temperature or strain distribution sensor may include a photodiode to acquire a beat frequency between a first laser beam and a second laser beam. A modulator may modulate the first laser beam that is to be injected into a device under test (DUT). A coherent receiver may acquire a backscattered signal from the DUT, and use the second laser beam as a local oscillator to determine a Brillouin trace with respect to the DUT. The Brillouin trace may be used to determine a Brillouin frequency shift and a Brillouin power for the DUT to implement an absolute referencing of a Rayleigh reference trace. The coherent receiver may determine, relative to the Rayleigh reference trace, a further Brillouin frequency shift and a Rayleigh frequency shift to determine a temperature or a strain associated with the DUT.
