  • Patent number: 10365088
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a distributed device for simultaneously measuring strain and temperature based on optical frequency domain reflection, comprising a tunable laser, a 1:99 beam splitter, a main interferometer system, a light source phase monitoring system based on an auxiliary interferometer, an acquisition device and a computer processing unit, wherein the main interferometer system comprises two Mach-Zehnder interferometers, and two optical fibers having different cladding diameters are arranged in parallel as sensing fibers. Due to the difference in temperature and strain coefficients of optical fibers of the same diameter, the temperature and strain values during changing the temperature and strain simultaneously can be obtained by matrix operation, thereby achieving an effect of eliminating cross sensitivity of temperature and strain sensing in optical frequency domain reflection.
