In this study, an approach for mitigation of LSFD in Φ-OTDR systems was proposed. By using one probe pulse as a reference in a system with two or more probe frequencies, we can remove unwanted low frequency noise that is originally caused by the laser source. Although LSFD is problematic issue, it is not the only source of low frequency noise. Change in temperature, humidity, physical surroundings, environment, etc., can result in such noises. The proposed method; however, is expected to highly suppresses all of these effects, regardless of their source, either in the time or frequency domain.
For comparing reference and probe signals, there are sophisticated methods, rather than normal differentiation, available for use. Some of these methods have a close relationship with CPD methods and can further enhance the results. These methods can be further discussed in an independent research or future work.
The proposed method is very helpful for increasing accuracy in passive and active seismic monitoring, reservoir monitoring, underwater monitoring, etc. It also helps using relatively simpler laser sources and make the whole system price-efficient, as well as processing data without lengthy compensation algorithms.
