N2 - A fiber-optic measurement system is presented which, based on Rayleigh backscatter measurement, enables distributed detection of significantly large strains in construction projects in the range of 3 % to 10 % required by end users. The method of digital incoherent optical frequency domain reflectometry (I-OFDR) is used exploiting material-specific advantages of robust perfluorinated polymer optical fibers (PF-POF). For the intended industrial application for structural health monitoring in the field of tunnel construction and specialised civil and underground engineering, the specific backscatter increase in the PF-POF is to be measured with high resolution. This publication shows in first project results the suitability of the digital I-OFDR for strain detection up to 10%. T2 - 21.

T1 - POF-based digital I-OFDR for strain detection in road construction N2 - We report on the development of a field-proven distributed fiber optic sensing system for structural health monitoring in road construction and civil engineering. The system is based on a cost-efficient digital incoherent optical frequency domain reflectometry (I-OFDR) for distributed strain detection along a polymer optical fiber. In this method, the strain-induced backscatter increase in a graded-index multimode perfluorinated polymer optical fiber (PF-POF) is determined by measuring the complex transfer function of the sensing fiber using a compact digital data acquisition unit.

The sensor system is based on the digital incoherent optical frequency domain reflectometry (I-OFDR) for the detection of local strain events along a perfluorinated polymer optical fiber (PF-POF) used as a sensing fiber. For the best possible load transfer, the PF-POFs were integrated onto geosynthetics which pose a sensor carrier for the sensing fiber. By using elastic PF-POF instead of a standard glass fiber as a sensing fiber the strain range of geosynthetics-integrated fiber optic sensors could be extended up to 10 % in accordance with the end-user requirements.

Underground hydrogen storage facilities are of great importance for the hydrogen network, as they can store and regulate large quantities of gas. Due to the high explosion risk associated with hydrogen, these facilities need to be closely monitored to avoid any hazardous consequences, such as leaks or explosions. However, it is extremely challenging to perform a comprehensive, seamless and continuous monitoring of the facilities in practice. Distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOSs) are well-suited to address these challenges. The DFG project MUDFOS aims to develop a hybrid DFOS system capable of simultaneously and accurately measuring five key parameters (hydrogen concentration, temperature, strain, humidity, and vibration) that are critical for hydrogen infrastructure over long sensing distances based on Raman-, Rayleigh- and Brillouin-scattering effects.

A novel signal processing principle is proposed for phase retrieval by taking the difference between two outputs as the quadrature component and reconstructing the in-phase component via Hilbert transformation of the Q component for IQ demodulation. Thus, only one balanced photodetector or two standard photodetectors are need, reducing system complexity and data volume. This principle can also be used to suppress fading effect for the traditional three-detector φOTDR systems by selecting optimal phases across detector pairs. Experiments with a φOTDR systems based on an imbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer validate the feasibility of this method and demonstrate a high fading suppression of about 90%.
