General analytical model for distributed Brillouin sensors with sub-meter spatial resolution [7503-221]
نویسندگان
چکیده
A general analytic solution for Brillouin distributed fibre sensors with sub-meter spatial resolution has been obtained by solving the coupled wave equation by a perturbation method. The effect of the interaction of a square pump pulse with a continuous signal is described in full generality for all possible pumping schemes and for any detuning with the resonance condition of the Brillouin interaction. The model predicts how the acoustic wave, the signal amplitude and the gain spectral profile depend upon the pumping scheme. The analytical solution is an unprecedented tool to optimize the sensor configuration by determining the optimum pumping scheme.

متن کاملGoing beyond 1000000 resolved points in a Brillouin distributed fiber sensor: theoretical analysis and experimental demonstration
Distributed fiber sensing possesses the unique ability to measure the distributed profile of an environmental quantity along many tens of kilometers with spatial resolutions in the meter or even centimeter scale. This feature enables distributed sensors to provide a large number of resolved points using a single optical fiber. However, in current systems, this number has remained constrained to...
متن کاملDifferential chirped-pulse pair for sub-meter spatial resolution Brillouin distributed fiber sensing
A distributed fiber sensor based on a differential chirped-pulse pair Brillouin optical time domain analysis (DCPBOTDA) is proposed for sub-meter spatial resolution sensing. The technique is based on the subtraction of two measurements made with the same pump pulse widths, but differing in the final short section of the pulse by a positive or negative frequency chirp, respectively. Experimental...

A distributed optical fiber sensor with the capability of simultaneously measuring temperature and strain is proposed using a large effective area non-zero dispersion shifted fiber (LEAF) with sub-meter spatial resolution. The Brillouin frequency shift is measured using Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) with differential pulse-width pair technique, while the spectrum shift of the R...
