Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fiber optic sensing technology, and in particular to a temperature measurement method, device, and storage medium based on fiber optic distributed sensing. Background Technology

[0002] Distributed fiber optic sensors use optical fiber as the transmission medium and offer advantages such as small size, light weight, flexibility, low loss, resistance to electromagnetic interference, and good radiation resistance. Their applications are wide-ranging, including oil and gas pipelines, fire alarm systems, reservoir and power cable monitoring, etc. Fiber optic distributed sensing technology primarily utilizes Rayleigh scattering, Brillouin scattering, or Raman scattering of pulses in optical fibers to carry spatially distributed information, thereby achieving distributed sensing. Among these, Raman scattering-based distributed sensors, with their ability to measure temperature and insensitivity to stress, have consistently been a research hotspot in the field of fiber optic sensing.

[0003] In existing technologies, the four key performance indicators of Raman distributed fiber optic sensing technology are sensing distance, spatial resolution, temperature resolution, and measurement time. Their performance all depends on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the measured Raman signal. SNR is primarily related to the pulse width and power. In a single-pulse Raman optical time-domain reflectometry (ROTDR) system, given a spatial resolution, the pulse power cannot be increased indefinitely due to nonlinear effects. Optical pulse coding technology can be used to improve the system's SNR. The core idea of ​​optical pulse coding technology is to use a specific, intensity-modulated sequence of light pulses of length L, composed of "1" and "0" symbols, to replace the single pump pulse in the sensing scheme. The detected response curve is then decoded using the corresponding decoding method, thereby improving the system's SNR without changing the measurement time.

[0004] In existing technologies, the longer the codeword, the higher the SNR of the system. However, when the code length increases, the spontaneous Raman scattering (SpRS) generated by a certain codeword will be stimulated and amplified by more other codewords entering the fiber later. This results in the measured signal containing both SpRS and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) signals. Since the ROTDR system uses the linear relationship between temperature and the anti-Stokes (AS) signal in SpRS to demodulate the temperature, the SRS signal is superimposed on the measured signal, making the signals generated by each pulse non-independent. This violates the linear time-invariant condition of the code, causing distortion in the decoded response and affecting the accuracy of the measured temperature, resulting in errors in the demodulated temperature.

[0047] Currently, the most widely used technique based on the principle of spontaneous Raman scattering (SpRS) is Raman optical time-domain reflectometry. The principle of this technique is that the incident light interacts with the molecules moving in the optical fiber to produce Stokes (S) scattered light with a lower frequency and anti-Stokes (AS) scattered light with a higher frequency. The S-scattered light or Rayleigh scattered light and AS scattered light are then filtered out by a wavelength division multiplexing system.

[0048] Optical pulse coding techniques typically include Simplex coding, complementary Gray coding, cyclic codes, and genetic optimization algorithm coding. Generally, the longer the codeword, the greater the improvement in SNR, i.e., the improvement in SNR is...

[0049] The temperature measurement method, device, and storage medium based on fiber optic distributed sensing provided by this invention constructs an algorithm that contains only the processed encoded anti-Stokes signal by descrambling the stimulated Raman scattering signal. This reduces the stimulated Raman distortion problem caused by long encoding bits, improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the Raman scattering signal, and reduces the error in temperature measurement, thereby making the measured temperature value more accurate.

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0051] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the temperature measurement method based on fiber optic distributed sensing provided by the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the temperature measurement method based on fiber optic distributed sensing provided by the present invention may include:

[0052] Step 101: Determine the energy of the processed encoded anti-Stokes signal based on the energy of the spontaneous Stokes signal and the energy of the spontaneous anti-Stokes signal.

[0053] Specifically, this invention employs a classic Raman optical time-domain reflectometry (RTD) system structure. The laser emits continuous light, and the pulse source generates an electrical pulse signal to drive a semiconductor optical amplifier, which demodulates the continuous light into an optical pulse signal. The pump pulse then amplifies the power through an erbium-doped fiber amplifier. Because Raman scattering occurs during propagation in the fiber, Stokes light and anti-Stokes light are generated. Using a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system, the pump pulse enters the sensing fiber through the WDM system port. The Avalanche photodetector at the WDM system port converts the AS-scattered light and S-scattered light into electrical signals, which are then collected by a data acquisition card and stored in the central processing unit (CPU).

[0054] In some embodiments, a classic Raman optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) system structure is adopted. A wide-linewidth fiber laser outputs continuous light with a wavelength of 1550 nm. A pulse source generates a 768-bit electrical pulse signal with a pulse width of 20 ns to drive a semiconductor optical amplifier, which modulates the continuous light into a 768-bit, 20 ns optical pulse signal. The pump pulse is then amplified to a power of 1 W by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier. The pump pulse enters an 8 km sensing fiber through the 1550 nm port of the wavelength division multiplexing system. Then, the backscattered AS light and S-scattered light are converted into electrical signals by avalanche photodetectors at the 1450 nm and 1650 nm ports and collected by a data acquisition card.

[0055] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating the steps of descrambling the encoded ROTDR stimulated signal provided by the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the descrambling algorithm for stimulated Raman scattering signals is derived from... Figure 2As shown, this invention first uses a classic Raman optical time-domain reflectometry (RTD) system structure. A single pump pulse is first transmitted into the optical fiber. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the energy of the single-pulse Stokes scattering signal is measured multiple times at the receiving end, and the average value is taken to reduce noise interference. Then, the single-pulse ROTDR system is switched to an coded ROTDR system. The measured energy of the single-pulse Stokes scattering signal is convolved with the coded sequence of the input fiber to obtain the energy of the reference Stokes scattering signal. Then, according to a given number of acquisitions, the energy of the coded Stokes scattering signal is acquired multiple times, and the average value is taken. The stimulated Raman gain of the Stokes scattering light along the fiber is calculated based on the energy of the coded Stokes scattering signal and the energy of the reference Stokes scattering signal. Finally, the energy of the coded anti-Stokes signal after processing is calculated based on the stimulated Raman gain of the Stokes scattering light along the fiber and the energy of the coded anti-Stokes scattering signal. The energy of the coded anti-Stokes scattering signal is also obtained through multiple acquisitions according to a given number of acquisitions.

[0056] Step 102: Determine the temperature value based on the energy of the processed and encoded anti-Stokes signal.

[0057] Specifically, spontaneous anti-Stokes signals exhibit a linear relationship with changes in ambient temperature, thus sensing temperature. Since spontaneous Stokes signals are insensitive to temperature, they can be used as reference light to eliminate the effects of fiber optic bending. Therefore, temperature can be measured based on spontaneous anti-Stokes signals, using anti-Stokes scattered light as the signal channel and Stokes scattered light as the reference channel. The energy of the processed and encoded anti-Stokes signal is decoded to demodulate the temperature.

[0058] Figure 3 This is a comparison image of the direct decoding of the time-domain signal of 768-bit encoded AS scattered light provided by this invention, the decoding after algorithm compensation, and a single pulse. Figure 3 As shown, the relationship between the fiber transmission distance and voltage of the decoded anti-Stokes scattered light after algorithm compensation is closer to a linear change, where the voltage on the vertical axis refers to the voltage output by the avalanche photodetector when it converts the optical signal into an electrical signal.

[0059] Figure 4 This is a comparison chart of direct temperature demodulation and temperature demodulation after algorithm compensation using the 768-bit encoding provided by this invention, as shown in the image. Figure 4 As shown, direct temperature demodulation is affected by stimulated Raman scattering, which interferes with temperature measurement and leads to inaccurate results with large errors. However, by using an algorithm to compensate before temperature demodulation, the interference caused by stimulated Raman scattering can be eliminated, resulting in a more accurate temperature measurement. It can be seen that the measured temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius.
