A higher performance signal processing module is demanded because of the high sensitivity of fiber-optic sensor probe. Excellent signal processing module is expected have the function of restore the sensor signal and very little to the introduction of noise. In this paper, improved demodulation algorithm is proposed based on the general demodulation algorithm through changing certain parameters of the algorithm aimed to improve the quality of the signal after demodulation. The output signals of scene sensor probe is sampling, sampling data through filtering. By using the improved fiber optic sensor signal demodulation algorithm, the system can fully improve the quality of the signal after demodulation under the premise of maintains the minimum sampling rate.

Abstract With increase of machine speed, the influence of elastic components on dynamic characterises has become a very challenging problem. In our paper, we use self-made fiber-optic sensor on-line to detect the elastic locus. The sensor has highly transmitting and collecting light properties so that steady elastic locus has high precision and distinguishabilty. A theoretical analysis has been conducted using our program KEDL. The conclusions reveal more information about the dynamic characteristics of high-speed mechanisms.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel intensity-modulated fiber optic sensor for real-time intrusion detection using a fiber-optic microbend sensor and an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR). Design/methodology/approach The proposed system is tested using different scenarios using person/car as intruders. Experiments are conducted in the lab and in the field. In the beginning, the OTDR trace is obtained and recorded as a reference signal without intrusion events. The second step is to capture the OTDR trace with intrusion events in one or multiple sectors. This measured signal is then compared to the reference signal and processed by matrix laboratory to determine the intruded sector. Information of the intrusion is displayed on an interactive screen implemented by Visual basic. The deformer is designed and implemented using SOLIDWORKS three-dimensional computer aided design Software. Findings The system is tested for intrusions by performing two experiments. The first experiment is performed for both persons (>50 kg) in the lab and cars in an open field with a car moving at 60 km/h using two optical fiber sectors of lengths 200 and 500 m. For test purposes, the deformer length used in the experiment is 2 m. The used signal processing technique in the first experiment has some limitations and its accuracy is 70% after measuring and recording 100 observations. To overcome these limitations, a second experiment with another technique of signal processing is performed. Research limitations/implications The system can perfectly display consecutive intrusions of the sectors, but in case of simultaneous intrusions of different sectors, which is difficult to take place in real situations, there will be the ambiguity of the number of intruders and the intruded sector. This will be addressed in future work. Suitable and stable laser power is required to get a suitable level of backscattered power. Optimization of the deformer is required to enhance the sensitivity and reliability of the sensor. Practical implications The proposed work enables us to benefit from the ease of implementation and the reduced cost of the intensity-modulated fiber optic sensors because it overcomes the constraints that prevent using the intensity-modulated fiber optic sensors for intrusion detection. Originality/value The proposed system is the first time long-range intensity-modulated fiber optic sensor for intrusion detection.
