Slope-assisted BOTDA based on vector SBS and frequency-agile technique for wide-strain-range dynamic measurements.
We present a slope-assisted BOTDA system based on the vector stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and frequency-agile technique (FAT) for the wide-strain-range dynamic measurement. A dimensionless coefficient K defined as the ratio of Brillouin phase-shift to gain is employed to demodulate the strain of the fiber, and it is immune to the power fluctuation of pump pulse and has a linear relatio...
متن کاملThe Effects of Signal Level of the Microwave Generator on the Brillouin Gain Spectrum in BOTDA and BOTDR
In this study, Brillouin Gain Spectrum (BGS) is experimentally analyzed in the Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (BOTDR) and Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analyzer (BOTDA). For this purpose, the signal level of the microwave generator is varied and the effects of BGS are investigated. In the setups, 20 km conventional single mode fiber is used to both setups and laser wavelengths are ...
متن کاملBrillouin gain spectrum dependence on large strain in perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fiber.
We investigate the dependence of Brillouin gain spectra on large strain of > 20% in a perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fiber, and prove, for the first time, that the dependence of Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) is highly non-monotonic. We predict that temperature sensors even with zero strain sensitivity can be implemented by use of this non-monotonic nature. Meanwhile, the Stokes p...
متن کاملDistributed Measurement of Brillouin Gain Spectrum in Photonic Crystal Fibre
Distributed measurements of the Brillouin gain spectrum in a photonic crystal fibre have been carried out for the first time to our knowledge. These measurements confirm the strong increase of the Brillouin threshold as resulting from the broadband and multimode nature of the Brillouin gain spectrum all along the fibre. INTRODUCTION The periodic wavelength-scale air-hole microstructure of solid...
متن کاملSimple distributed fiber sensor based on Brillouin gain spectrum analysis.
A novel configuration of a distributed fiber sensor by Brillouin gain analysis has been developed for temperature and strain monitoring. It uses a single laser source, and the required light signals are all generated with an electro-optic modulator, resulting in high stability and excellent reliability of the measuring setup. Measurement of the induced strain in a wound fiber is presented as a ...
