Effect of the finite extinction ratio of an electro-optic modulator on the performance of distributed probe-pump Brillouin sensor systems.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of the finite extinction ratio of an electro-optic modulator (EOM) on the Brillouin frequency measurement of a distributed Brillouin-based fiber optic sensor is studied. An EOM with a finite extinction ratio limits the application of Brillouin optical time domain analysis in a distributed Brillouin-based fiber optic sensor. This results in confusion in specifying the location of the strained region and in error in detecting the Brillouin frequency and hence in strain and temperature measurement.

متن کاملCorrelation-based Brillouin sensing
Fig. 1 Block diagram of the injection-locking experimental set-up for correlation-based Brillouin distributed measurements. Traditional Brillouin sensing in optical fibres using a pulsed pump are limited to a meter spatial resolution as a result of the pump spectral broadening. This well-known limit was considered for a long time as impossible to overcome until Hotate proposed a novel technique...

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 ...
متن کاملTime and frequency pump-probe multiplexing to enhance the signal response of Brillouin optical time-domain analyzers.
A technique to enhance the response and performance of Brillouin distributed fiber sensors is proposed and experimentally validated. The method consists in creating a multi-frequency pump pulse interacting with a matching multi-frequency continuous-wave probe. To avoid nonlinear cross-interaction between spectral lines, the method requires that the distinct pump pulse components and temporal tr...
متن کاملTime biasing due to the slow-light effect in distributed fiber-optic Brillouin sensors.
The influence of the slow-light effect on the performance of distributed Brillouin sensors is studied. We show that, while in most situations it can be neglected, it may greatly affect the results obtained for certain experimental configurations. More specifically, for one of the experimental arrangements described in the literature (a strong continuous-wave pump and a weak pulsed probe) we sho...
