摘要： Methods and apparatus enable compensation of source light wavelength fluctuations due to instability of a broadband source within an optical sensing system. Tapping off two or more portions of the light output from the source at specific wavelength bands enables power based measurements of these portions. The measurements provide compensation ability by either use as feedback to control the source or for determination of the central wavelength so that adjustments can be applied to sensor response signals received at a receiver.

摘要： Methods and apparatus allowing distributed temperature sensing (DTS) measurements to be compensated for differential and/or varying loss between Raman Stokes and anti-Stokes signals are provided. By irradiating an optical waveguide with signals at wavelengths at or near the Raman Stokes and anti-Stokes bands, a distributed loss profile for the waveguide may be generated. This distributed loss profile may be used to adjust the amplitudes or amplitude ratios of Raman Stokes and anti-Stokes signals used in DTS measurements, which may lead to more accurate DTS profiles.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for discrete point temperature sensing include a temperature sensor that can be part of an array of temperature sensors for location in a wellbore. A single unitary ribbon-like structure can form the temperature sensor that has separate optical cores possessing different characteristics such that one core is unique from another core. Each core has a reflective grating disposed therein such that the wavelength of light reflected by the gratings is in response to temperature and any strain applied to the sensor from a surrounding environment. For some embodiments, the responses to strain from each of the gratings are similar while the responses from each of the gratings to temperature are dissimilar due to the different characteristics of the cores. These responses provided separately by each grating therefore enable compensation for strain in order to provide an accurate temperature measurement at the sensor.

摘要： A method and apparatus for mitigating the effects of polarization on wavelength determinations is disclosed. An optical source produces light across an optical spectrum, while a polarization element changes the polarization of the light at a first rate. The resulting light is applied to an optical element that produces a spectral response with a feature of interest from the polarization changed light. The optical element and the polarization element are such that the bandwidth of the feature of interest of the optical element is significantly greater than the first rate. A receiver network produces received signals from the received spectrum; and a data processing unit calculates a wavelength that is insensitive to ripple in the received signal and/or the received signals are low-pass filtered to reduce the ripple resulting from the polarization change.
