In this paper, a new measurement principle for decoupling mechanical and thermal signals in an OFDR measurement with integrated optical fibres is investigated. Previous methods for decoupling require additional measuring equipment or knowledge about the substrate properties. This new method is based solely on simultaneous measurements of two fibres with different temperature sensitivities resulting from different core doping processes. By exposing both fibres to the same thermal and mechanical load, the signal could be differentiated through the signal variations caused by the thermo-optical effect. The two fibres used in the tests have a sufficient response difference in the cryogenic temperature range. Therefore, the method is suitable for various applications, such as high-temperature superconductors as well as cryogenic and space applications.
