Abstract
An incoherent optical frequency domain reflectometry (I-OFDR) method enhanced by orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) and phase-derived ranging (PDR) is proposed to enable high-accuracy multipath delay measurement with reduced computational complexity. Unlike traditional I-OFDR systems that require continuous linear frequency sweeping, the proposed method performs sparse RF response acquisition and avoids fixed frequency interval constraints inherent in Fourier-based analysis. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves sub-picosecond-level multipath transfer delay accuracy while requiring only 10% of the frequency points needed by traditional I-OFDR methods, greatly reducing the signal processing requirement.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
