    摘要: A system for transmission of optical data signals has first optical processing circuitry for receiving a plurality of digital signals and applying at least one of a Hermite-Gaussian function, a Laguerre-Gaussian function or an Ince-Gaussian function to each of the received plurality of digital signals. The first optical processing circuitry also combines each of the at least one of the Hermite-Gaussian function, the Laguerre-Gaussian function or the Ince-Gaussian function applied plurality of digital signals into a single carrier signal. An optical transmitter transmits the single carrier signal. An optical receiver receives the transmitted single carrier signal. Second optical processing circuitry separates the at least one of the Hermite-Gaussian function, the Laguerre-Gaussian function or the Ince-Gaussian function applied digital signals of the single carries signal into separate signals and removes the at least one of the Hermite-Gaussian function, the Laguerre-Gaussian function or the Ince-Gaussian function applied to each of the plurality of digital signals. An elliptical core fiber transmits the single carrier signal from the optical transmitter to the optical receiver. The elliptical core fiber includes an elliptical core have a major axis and a minor axis.

    摘要: A method for detecting a structural fault in a structure includes the steps of, (a) performing a Brillouin measurement at a point along a sensing optical fiber which operably cooperates with the structure, to obtain a Brillouin gain spectrum at that point; (b) identifying at least two curves which, when added together, best fit the Brillouin gain spectrum; (c) identifying if peaks of the least two curves occur at different frequencies so as to determine if the structure has a structural fault. There is further provided a corresponding apparatus for detecting a structural fault in a structure.

    摘要: An apparatus for detecting data in a fluid pressure signal in a conduit comprises an optical fiber loop comprises a measurement section and a delay section wherein the measurement section is disposed substantially circumferentially around at least a portion of the conduit, and wherein the measurement section changes length in response to the fluid pressure signal in the conduit. A light source injects a first optical signal in a first direction into the measurement section and a second optical signal in a second direction opposite the first direction into the delay section. An optical detector senses an interference phase shift between the first optical signal and the second optical signal and outputs a first signal related thereto.

    摘要: A component sensing system for monitoring the condition of ceramic tiles in a combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine. The sensing system includes an optical fiber that is mounted to the component being monitored, for example, the ceramic tiles in the gas turbine combustion chamber. The optical fiber can be formed in any suitable orientation or configuration, such as a meandering or serpentine orientation. The fiber is optically coupled to a Brillouin signal analyzer that provides an optical pulse to the sensing section of the fiber and detects Brillouin backscattering from the fiber as the pulse travels along the fiber. The frequency of the Brillouin backscattering signal is monitored relative to the distance along the sensing section of the fiber. A rise in temperature at a location of the fiber shows up in the analyzer as an increase in frequency of the backscattered signal.

    摘要: An optical fiber strain sensor array comprises several sensor support panels spaced in its longitudinal direction and at least one connecting member extending in the longitudinal direction, which mechanically interconnects the sensor support panels. An optical fiber is supported by the sensor support panels and the connecting member. The optical fiber extends with the connecting member between the sensor support panels and forms a curve on the sensor support panel, the curve including at least one portion of the optical fiber that extends in the transverse direction. The width of the connecting member is substantially less than the width of the sensor support panels, such that the connecting member is capable of flexure in the transverse direction. This has the advantage that the connecting member can be flexed to take up any slack during installation of the optical fiber strain sensor array in a wind turbine blade and can be fitted to the turbine blade even if the blade has a conical shape.
