Scattering media scramble light paths, create seemingly random speckle patterns and hinder even our simple visualization of objects. Here, we demonstrate stochastic optical scattering localization imaging (SOSLI) to achieve super-resolution non-invasively through not only static, but also dynamic scattering media (up to 80% decorrelation). A camera captures multiple speckle patterns created by stochastic emitters in the object. Then our computational approach can retrieve a super-resolution image of hidden objects, surpassing the diffraction limit by factor of five, while posing no fundamental-limit in achieving higher spatial-resolution. Our demonstration paves the way to non-invasively visualize various biological samples with unprecedented levels of detail.
The long-range pipelines for coalbed methane (CBM) transport are generally laid in the field with wide coverage and under harsh operating condition. Most conventional electronic sensing technologies are not appropriate for CBM pipeline safety monitoring featuring long distance, large-capacity measuring points, and severe working condition. In view of above problems, the multi-parameter optical fiber sensing is proposed. For preventing third-party damage, a vibration sensing scheme is designed based on Φ-OTDR principle. For leakage prewaring, a ROTDR-based temperature detection scenario is realized. For pipe deformation precaution, a BOTDR-based strain sensing solution is exploited. Additionally, a cloud database is built on the server for online monitoring. The experimental results demonstrate that: the sensing range of vibration can be 12km with the 20-m spacial resolution and 8-m positioning accuracy; the temperature measurement accuracy is ±1° within the temperature range -25°~200° over the range of 10 km optical fiber; the strain measurement range is 11000 με when the measured distance is about 10 km and the spatial resolution is 1.23m. The multi-parameter detection approach by optical fiber sensing provides a new monitoring method for the safety prewaring of long-range CBM pipelines.
Phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry (Φ-OTDR) is a promising approach for detecting and locating vibration signals along the whole fiber link. In this paper, a novel high-speed and complete signal transmission scheme based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) and universal serial bus (USB) 2.0 is proposed and applied in the Φ-OTDR system to obtain real-time vibration location. By using the novel scheme, only the effective data is selected and transmitted to the upper system for post-processing in real time. In the experiment, the vibration signals are simulated by hand-clapping, 50 Hz square waves and 400 Hz sine waves. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system exhibits good frequency response for vibrations below 1 kHz over 12 km fiber length. In addition, repetition vibration tests are carried out on 4.633 km and 10.022 km, and the location error is within the range of -7 m to +11 m. Therefore, the proposed system holds considerable potential for real-time vibration location and may have a wide application range in areas such as intruder detection, premier security, oil/gas pipeline leakage detection, and railway infrastructure monitoring, etc.
