This method involves simultaneous measurement of Brillouin scattering and Rayleigh scattering in fiber, and scanning of Brillouin spectrum to obtain the desired information. This paper presents a simultaneous measurement system of temperature and strain based on microwave detection and analyzed the system performances such as measurement accuracy, dynamic range, and spatial resolution theoretically. The analysis shows that the system can achieve a temperature resolution of 1°C and a strain resolution of 100 μs.展开更多

The relation between the response performance of α-Si microbolometer detector and its operating temperature is studied by means of formulas of microbolometer detector's noise equivalent temperature difference(NETD) and detectivity. Numerical analysis based on true parameters demonstrates that the detectivity decreases slightly and NETD increases slightly when operating temperature rises,which indicates that α-Si microbolometer detector has approximately uniform response in a wide operating temperature range. According to these analyses,a thermal imaging system operating at multiple temperatures is designed. The power of thermoelectric stabilizer(TEC) is less than 350 mW and NETD is less than 120 mK in the ambient temperature range of-40 ℃-60 ℃,which shows that this system not only outputs high-quality images but consumes low power.展开更多
