Title: | Distributed gas sensing with optical fibre photothermal interferometry | Authors: | Lin, Y Liu, F He, X Jin, W Zhang, M Yang, F Ho, HL Tan, Y Gu, L |
Issue Date: | 11-Dec-2017 | Source: | Optics express, 2017, v. 25, no. 25, p. 31568-31585 | Abstract: | We report the first distributed optical fibre trace-gas detection system based on photothermal interferometry (PTI) in a hollow-core photonic bandgap fibre (HC-PBF). Absorption of a modulated pump propagating in the gas-filled HC-PBF generates distributed phase modulation along the fibre, which is detected by a dual-pulse heterodyne phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) system. Quasi-distributed sensing experiment with two 28-meter-long HC-PBF sensing sections connected by single-mode transmission fibres demonstrated a limit of detection (LOD) of ~10 ppb acetylene with a pump power level of 55 mW and an effective noise bandwidth (ENBW) of 0.01 Hz, corresponding to a normalized detection limit of 5.5ppb.W/√Hz. Distributed sensing experiment over a 200-meter-long sensing cable made of serially connected HC-PBFs demonstrated a LOD of ~ 5 ppm with 62.5 mW peak pump power and 11.8 Hz ENBW, or a normalized detection limit of 312ppb.W/√Hz. The spatial resolution of the current distributed detection system is limited to ~ 30 m, but it is possible to reduce down to 1 meter or smaller by optimizing the phase detection system. | Publisher: | Optical Society of America | Journal: | Optics express | EISSN: | 1094-4087 | DOI: | 10.1364/OE.25.031568 | Rights: | © 2017 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement (https://opg.optica.org/library/license_v1.cfm#VOR-OA) © 2017 Optica Publishing Group under the terms of the Open Access Publishing Agreement.
