Abstract
Phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (Ф-OTDR) has been widely used to interrogate multi-point vibration events in the health monitoring and damage detection of civil infrastructures, mechanical processes and aerospace transportation. Due to the different lengths of the events, the spatial resolution (SR) requirements would also be different. This paper presents and demonstrates two kinds of Φ-OTDR sensing systems with multi-spatial resolution (MSR) analysis characteristics. Frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and multi-scale matching filtering schemes were introduced to provide MSR ability for the phase-discrimination and amplitude-discrimination Φ-OTDR systems respectively. The proposed methods could restore vibration events of different scales with optimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in merely a single measurement while maintaining the detectable frequency range, which offered promising solutions for the performance optimization of Φ-OTDR sensing systems.
