  • Patent number: 11944484
    Abstract: A method and a system for providing calibration for a photon counting CT detector forward model for material decomposition. Various slabs of predetermined material and path lengths are placed in the photon counting CT detector and scanned using one or more stationary X-rays to obtain calibration data and parametrize the forward model.

  • Patent number: 9157811
    Abstract: A dispersion and loss spectrum auto-correction distributed optical fiber Raman temperature sensor has a dual fiber pulsed laser module with dual Raman wavelength shifts. The laser module is composed of a power supply (11), an electronic switch (12), a primary laser (13) and a secondary laser (14), a first combiner (15), a bidirectional coupler (16), a multimode fiber (17), an integrated optical fiber wavelength division multiplexer (18), a second combiner (19), a direct detection system (20), a signal collection and processing system (21) and a display (22). The sensor uses two light sources that have two Raman wavelength shifts, wherein the central wavelength of backward anti-Stokes Raman scattering peak of the primary light source coincides with that of the backward Stokes scattering peak center wavelength of the secondary light source, and the time domain reflection signal of the one-way optical fiber Rayleigh scattering is deducted.
