Single-end hybrid Rayleigh Brillouin and Raman distributed fibre-optic sensing system

Backscattered lightwaves from an optical fibre are used to realise distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS) systems for measuring various parameters.Rayleigh, Brillouin, and Raman backscattering provide different sensitivities to different measurands and have garnered the attention of researchers.A system combining the three principles above can effectively separate the measured strain and temperature completely as well as provide measurements of both dynamic and static parameters.However, the combined system is extremely complicated intra-trac3 if the three systems are independent of each other.

Hence, we propose a single-end hybrid DFOS system that uses two successive pulses to realise the Brillouin amplification of Rayleigh backscattering lightwaves for combining Rayleigh and Brillouin systems.A 3-bit pulse-coding method is employed to demodulate the Raman scattering of the two pulses to integrate Raman optical time-domain reflectometry into the hybrid system.Using this hybrid interlock ettore scheme, a simultaneous measurement of multiple parameters is realised, and a favourable measurement accuracy is achieved.
