Long-distance fiber optic vibration sensing using convolutional neural networks as real-time denoisers
- A long distance range over tens of kilometers is a prerequisite for a wide range of distributed fiber optic vibration sensing applications. We significantly extend the attenuation-limited distance range by making use of the multidimensionality of distributed Rayleigh backscatter data: Using the wavelength-scanning coherent optical time domain reflectometry (WS-COTDR) technique, backscatter data is measured along the distance and optical frequency dimensions. In this work, we develop, train, and test deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for fast denoising of these two-dimensional backscattering results. The very compact and efficient CNN denoiser “DnOTDR” outperforms state-of-the-art image denoising algorithms for this task and enables denoising data rates of 1.2 GB/s in real time. We demonstrate that, using the CNN denoiser, the quantitative strain measurement with nm/m resolution can be conducted with up to 100 km distance without the use of backscatter-enhanced fibers orA long distance range over tens of kilometers is a prerequisite for a wide range of distributed fiber optic vibration sensing applications.
