    摘要: A drilling system includes a string of drill pipe extending into a wellbore from a drilling platform. A Y-block junction is coupled to the string of drill pipe at the drilling platform and provides a pressure housing that defines a first conduit and a second conduit that converges with the first conduit. The pressure housing further defines an outlet configured to be coupled to the string of drill pipe extending into the wellbore. A lubricator is operatively coupled to the Y-block junction at the second conduit, and a cable having one or more optical fibers embedded therein is conveyed into the wellbore within the string of drill pipe via the lubricator and the Y-block junction.

    摘要: An optical grating comprising a grating layer and two surface layers, the layers being arranged with the grating layer between the surface layers. The grating layer comprises a set of multiple, discrete, elongated first grating regions that comprise a first dielectric material and are arranged with intervening elongated second grating regions. The bulk refractive index of the dielectric material of the first grating regions is larger than the bulk refractive index of the second grating regions. The first surface layer comprises a first impedance matching layer, and the second surface layer comprises either (i) a second impedance matching layer or (ii) a reflective layer. Each said impedance matching layer is arranged to reduce reflection of an optical signal transmitted through the corresponding surface of the grating layer, relative to reflection of the optical signal in the absence of said impedance matching layer.

    摘要: A wavelength-selective optical coupler has an optical coupler (C) arranged between two waveguide structures. The coupler (C) has a coupling zone arranged between said waveguide structures and a Bragg cell (B) within said coupling zone. In a preferred embodiment, the optical coupler (C) is a 100 % light-transmitting coupler. In various different embodiments, the coupler (C) is made of optical fibres or by techniques of optoelectronic integration on a semiconductor glass or silica substrate. The Bragg cell (B) has a constant, multiple or variable pitch. The invention has applications in optical wavelength multiplexing information transmission systems. Said coupler is to be made using standard diameter fibres. However, such fibres have a low Germanium (Ge) content giving them low sensitivity to UV light and making inscription of the Bragg pattern difficult. This problem can be solved by sensitising the fibre to UV light in a different manner, such as by increasing the hydrogen content within the fibre by placing the coupler in a hydrogen atmosphere at high pressure (100-300 bars) for a few weeks. An adequate quantity of hydrogen will be absorbed to make the fibres UV-sensitive and to enable Bragg pattern inscription in the coupling region.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention comprise apparatus and methods for detecting the presence of a substance in a test material using a plurality of wavelength-specific couplers (e.g. tilted fibre gratings) which provide a spatially distributed multi-node all-optical measurement system. Each node of the measurement system can comprise an optical module that is sensitive to the intensity of a limited band of wavelengths. The node is thus capable of detecting the presence of an absorption peak in a spectrum without having to obtain the full spectrum. By providing a plurality of optical modules that are sensitive to different wavelengths, the spectral signature of different substances may be monitored without having to measure full spectra. The measurement system may be particularly useful in a process control environment where it is desirable to take measurements of one or more substances in different locations.
