Abstract
For the measurement of gas volume fraction in natural gas wells, a strategy based on the fusion of arrayed fiber-optic probes (AFOP) and artificial intelligence algorithms is proposed to enhance the precision and efficiency of gas volume fraction monitoring. As a key front-end component for obtaining gas phase information, AFOP determines the optimal structure by analyzing its performance metrics in bubble capture and its interference with fluid flow. A back-end gas volume fraction prediction model was constructed using a machine learning algorithm. The model first uses a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to enhance the backpropagation (BP) neural network as a weak predictor and then integrates multiple weak predictors through the adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) algorithm to create a strong predictor. The experimental results show that compared with the support vector machine (SVM), BP neural network, and PSO-BP neural network, the PSO-BP-AdaBoost algorithm has advantages in prediction precision, with a maximum relative error of only 0.14 %, providing a more effective solution for research and application in related fields.

Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
