Study of the Feasibility of Decoupling Temperature and Strain from a ϕ-PA-OFDR over an SMF Using Neural Networks [PDF]
Despite several existing techniques for distributed sensing (temperature and strain) using standard Single-Mode optical Fiber (SMF), compensating or decoupling both effects is mandatory for many applications. Currently, most decoupling techniques require
