  • Patent number: 10690568
    Abstract: An optical fiber temperature distribution measurement system includes a temperature difference calculator configured to calculate a temperature difference between corresponding spatial resolution zones based on a first temperature distribution obtained by a return light from a first optical fiber part and a second temperature distribution obtained by a return light from a second optical fiber part, and an abnormality detector configured to calculate a temperature difference for evaluation for each spatial resolution zone, the temperature difference for evaluation being a sum of a temperature difference of each spatial resolution zone and a temperature difference of a spatial resolution zone adjacent thereto, and to determine that an abnormality has occurred in a roller near the spatial resolution zone when the calculated temperature difference for evaluation exceeds a reference value.

  • Patent number: 9835503
    Abstract: An optical fiber temperature distribution measuring device includes: an optical fiber as a sensor; a calculation control unit for measuring a temperature distribution along the optical fiber by using backward Raman scattered light from the optical fiber; a far-end-position dispersion characteristic calculation unit for obtaining a dispersion characteristic of the optical fiber at a far-end position thereof; a per-unit-length dispersion characteristic calculation unit for obtaining a per-unit-length dispersion characteristic of the optical fiber based on the dispersion characteristic of the optical fiber at the far-end position thereof; and a correction parameter calculation unit for calculating a correction parameter for correcting a dispersion characteristic of the optical fiber based on a dispersion characteristic at each of different positions along the optical fiber.
