  • Patent number: 11927491
    Abstract: A self-calibration detection device and a temperature demodulation method oriented to a fiber Raman temperature sensing system. The self-calibration detection device comprises a fiber Raman thermodetector, thermostatic baths, a multi-mode sensing fiber, and a multi-mode reflector. The fiber Raman thermodetector comprises a pulsed laser whose output end is connected to the input end of a WDM. Two output ends of the WDM are respectively connected to input ends of a first and second APDs. Output ends of the first and second APDs are respectively connected to input ends of a first and second LNAs. Output ends of the first and second LNAs are connected to the input end of a data acquisition card whose output end is connected with the input end of a computer. The temperature demodulation method can solve the problems of low temperature measuring accuracy, lower temperature measurement stability and low temperature measurement efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11808639
    Abstract: A temperature demodulation method oriented toward a distributed fiber Raman temperature sensing system, the method comprising the following steps: step 1 of constructing a high-precision temperature detection device oriented towards a distributed fiber Raman sensing system; step 2 of performing signal processing with respect to Stokes light and anti-Stokes light at a calibration stage; step 3 of performing signal processing with respect to Stokes light and the anti-Stokes light at a measurement stage; and step 4 of obtaining a high-precision temperature demodulation technique oriented toward the distributed fiber Raman sensor. The method is used to effectively resolve the issue of low temperature measuring accuracy caused by Rayleigh crosstalk in existing distributed fiber Raman temperature measurement systems, and temperature measurement accuracy thereof is expected to fall within ±0.1° C. The method is applicable to distributed fiber Raman temperature measurement systems.

  • Patent number: 11474412
    Abstract: Disclosed by the present invention is an ultra-wideband white noise source based on a slicing super-continuum spectrum. The entropy source used is a super-continuum spectrum photon entropy source having a coverage range of several hundreds of nm, white noise can thus be generated in a wide frequency range, thereby effectively avoiding the bandwidth bottleneck of an electronic device. By separately adjusting the filter centers of two optical filters, the center frequency for generating the white noise can be adjusted so as to get adapted to different working situations. High bandwidth white noise can be generated by simply filtering the super-continuum spectrum and performing photoelectric conversion, and in comparison with the previous solutions, the solution of the present invention is simpler and can be easily implemented.

  • Patent number: 10923881
    Abstract: A monolithic integrated semiconductor random laser comprising substrate, lower confinement layer on the substrate, active layer on the lower confinement layer, upper confinement layer on the active layer, strip-shaped waveguide layer longitudinally made in middle of the upper confinement layer, P+ electrode layer divided into two segments and made on the waveguide layer and N+ electrode layer on a back face of the lower confinement layer, wherein the two segments correspond respectively to gain region and random feedback region. The random feedback region uses a doped waveguide to randomly feedback light emitted by the gain region and then generates random laser which is random in frequency and intensity. Further, the semiconductor laser is light, small, stable in performance and strong in integration.
