Title: Ameliorations apportees a une detection distribuee par fibres optiques
Inventor: ALASTAIR GODFREY
IPC: G01D5/353
Filed: 2014-06-27
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil destinés à une détection acoustique distribuée (DAS) par fibres optiques qui permettent une estimation quantitative de stimuli relativement grands et continus agissant sur la fibre de détection. Une fibre optique (101) est interrogée avec une impulsion optique et la rétrodiffusion de Rayleigh est détectée pour fournir un capteur DAS. Le procédé consiste à identifier un premier stimulus agissant sur au moins une partie de détection de la fibre optique, ce qui entraîne une variation de longueur de trajet optique efficace à l'intérieur de ladite partie de détection à hauteur d'au moins la longueur d'onde du rayonnement optique. Une telle variation de longueur de trajet entraîne un enveloppement de signal conduisant à une variation observée (401) de l'intensité de rétrodiffusion. La fréquence de variation est détectée et peut être utilisée pour estimer le taux de variation de la longueur de trajet. Le procédé peut servir à estimer un taux de contrainte et/ou un taux de variation de température.
