Abstract
In this study, an optical frequency domain reflectometer (OFDR) system for simultaneous measurement of temperature, strain, and relative humidity (RH) based on the wavelength-division cross-correlation method is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The Rayleigh scattered spectrum shifts introduced by environmental changes can be demodulated by the cross-correlation operation, and the magnitude of the shifts exhibits variability in distinct wavelength subregions. Leveraging the distinct sensitivity characteristics of different parameters across different wavelength subregions, simultaneous multi-parameter decoupling can be achieved. In the signal processing flow, the frequency domain signals in different wavelength subregions are intercepted, and then the cross-correlation operation is performed separately to obtain the spectrum shift information in different wavelength subregions. The decoupling matrix is constructed to realize the decoupling of the three parameters based on the sensitivity differences of temperature, strain, and RH in different wavelength subregions. This novel and simple multi-parameter sensing system, to the best of our knowledge, has potential applications in engineering monitoring, chemical applications, and environmental measurements.
