The GY-DTS-M DTS (Distributed Temperature Sensing) Integrated Module is a high-performance, all-in-one optical sensing module that pre-integrates Laser, WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexer), APD Photodetector, and High-Speed DAQ Card into a compact design. This highly integrated architecture greatly simplifies the hardware complexity of DTS systems, eliminating the need for separate component wiring and debugging.
The module adopts Gigabit Ethernet UDP protocol for high-speed data acquisition and transmission, and directly outputs Stokes and anti-Stokes optical signals—the core signals for DTS temperature demodulation. Users only need to focus on the R&D and development of DTS host demodulation software, reducing 80% of DTS system hardware development work and accelerating project progress.
The GY-DTS-M is specially designed for DTS system R&D enterprises and research institutions that meet the following requirements:

To evaluate the performance of this module, we developed a demodulation software. The following test data was obtained.
Test fiber optic cable length: 5000 meters
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| End-of-line noise | ±1℃ |
| Temperature Accuracy | ±1℃ |
| Spatial resolution | 1.2m |
End-of-line noise: Lowest point in the green box at 22°C, highest point at 24°C, with noise level tolerance of ±1°C.

Spatial Resolution: Refers to the effective spatial distance along the fiber length during sensing. At the disturbance location, the fiber length corresponding to the distance between the fiber segments where the measured step change value of the disturbance information falls between 10% and 90% constitutes the spatial resolution fiber length. As shown below: The temperature measurement coil's 90% corresponds to coordinates (12823, 54), while 10% corresponds to coordinates (12820, 27).
Therefore, the spatial resolution = (12823 - 12820) × 0.4 = 1.2 m.

Temperature accuracy, as shown in the figure below:
