Abstract
This paper addresses the challenge of strain measurement using distributed fiber-optic sensors based on Rayleigh scattering in the presence of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) with a reflectivity level of 70% within the optical fiber. The reflectivity of such FBGs complicates distributed strain measurements that rely on the cross-correlation algorithm. The cases where the scanning ranges of a backscatter reflectometer include the resonant wavelengths of the FBGs and those beyond their limits, resulting in either a complete absence of a useful signal or the emergence of insensitive zones near the FBGs, are considered. An approach is proposed that employs a windowed Fourier transform with Hann window function for signal processing. This method effectively eliminates insensitive zones in distributed strain measurements based on Rayleigh scattering.
