Abstract
(EN)
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for simultaneous distributed temperature and vibration sensing using a multimode optical fiber (MMF) is disclosed. The distributed temperature and vibration sensing may include a single mode optical fiber (SMF) coupled to an MMF via a connection in which a central axis of the SMF is aligned with a central axis of the MMF. The connections provides of excitation of the fundamental mode within the MMF by light passing from the SMF into the MMF through the connection.

L'invention concerne des procédés, des systèmes et des appareils pour une détection répartie simultanée de température et de vibration à l'aide d'une fibre optique multimode (MMF). La détection répartie de température et de vibration peut comprendre une fibre optique monomode (SMF) couplée à une MMF par l'intermédiaire d'une connexion dans laquelle un axe central de la SMF est aligné avec un axe central de la MMF. Les connexions permettent l'excitation du mode fondamental au sein de la MMF par une lumière passant de la SMF à la MMF par le biais de la connexion.
