چکیده
The distributed Brillouin gain profile of an ultrathin optical microwire made of chalcogenide-glass is characterized using a phase-modulated correlation-domain measurement technique. Method resolves variations of uniformity below 5% along a 13 cm-long microwire. OCIS codes: (290.5900) Scattering, stimulated Brillouin, (060.2270) Fiber characterization

Brillouin scattering in photonic crystal fiber: from fundamentals to fiber optic sensors
Brillouin scattering is a fundamental nonlinear opto-acoustic interaction present in optical fibers with important implications in fields ranging from modern telecommunication networks to smart optical fiber sensors. This thesis is aimed at providing a comprehensive theoretical and experimental investigation of both forward and backward Brillouin scattering in next generation photonic crystal f...
متن کاملHigh-resolution long-reach distributed Brillouin sensing based on combined time-domain and correlation-domain analysis.
A new scheme for distributed Brillouin sensing of strain and temperature in optical fibers is proposed, analyzed and demonstrated experimentally. The technique combines between time-domain and correlation-domain analysis. Both Brillouin pump and signal waves are repeatedly co-modulated by a relatively short, high-rate phase sequence, which introduces Brillouin interactions in a large number of ...
متن کاملDouble-pulse pair Brillouin optical correlation-domain analysis.
Brillouin optical correlation-domain analysis (B-OCDA) allows for distributed measurements of strain and temperature with sub-cm resolution. Time-multiplexing techniques have previously extended B-OCDA to the monitoring of many km of fiber and two million resolution points. Thus far, however, the number of scans of correlation peaks positions, necessary to cover the fiber under test, was restri...
متن کاملBrillouin Optical Correlation Domain Analysis in Composite Material Beams
Structural health monitoring is a critical requirement in many composites. Numerous monitoring strategies rely on measurements of temperature or strain (or both), however these are often restricted to point-sensing or to the coverage of small areas. Spatially-continuous data can be obtained with optical fiber sensors. In this work, we report high-resolution distributed Brillouin sensing over st...
متن کاملDistributed shape sensing using Brillouin scattering in multi-core fibers.
A theoretical and experimental study on the response of Brillouin scattering in multi-core optical fibers (MCF) under different curving conditions is presented. Results demonstrate that the Brillouin frequency shift of the off-center cores in MCF is highly bending-dependent, showing a linear dependence on the fiber curvature. This feature is here exploited to develop a new kind of distributed o...
