Analysis of optical pulse coding in spontaneous Brillouin-based distributed temperature sensors.
A theoretical and experimental analysis of optical pulse coding techniques applied to distributed optical fiber temperature sensors based on spontaneous Brillouin scattering using the Landau-Placzek ratio (LPR) scheme is presented, quantifying in particular the impact of Simplex coding on stimulated Brillouin and Raman power thresholds. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) enhancement and temperatur...
متن کاملSimplex-coded BOTDA fiber sensor with 1 m spatial resolution over a 50 km range.
In this Letter, we propose the use of optical pulse coding techniques for long-range distributed sensors based on Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA). Compared to conventional BOTDA sensors, optical coding provides a significant sensing-range enhancement, allowing for temperature and strain measurements with 1 m spatial resolution over 50 km of standard single-mode fiber, with an acc...
متن کاملBipolar pulse coding for enhanced performance in Brillouin distributed optical fiber sensors
We propose and experimentally demonstrate the possibility to use a pump signal based on bipolar pulse sequences using single-sideband suppressed-carrier (SSB-SC) modulation in Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors. The SSB-SC modulated pump makes a sequential use of the Brillouin gain and loss spectra, increasing the intensity contrast of the measurements. The method is demonst...
متن کاملOptical pulse coding in hybrid distributed sensing based on Raman and Brillouin scattering employing Fabry-Perot lasers.
We demonstrate simultaneous strain and temperature sensing based on hybrid Raman and Brillouin scattering with enhanced performance thanks to the combined use of standard Fabry-Perot lasers in conjunction with optical pulse coding techniques. The combination of both techniques allows for an improvement of ~8.7 dB in temperature resolution and ~3 dB in strain resolution, with respect to standard...
متن کاملBipolar optical pulse coding for performance enhancement in BOTDA sensors.
A pump signal based on bipolar pulse coding and single-sideband suppressed-carried (SSB-SC) modulation is proposed for Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors. Making a sequential use of the Brillouin gain and loss spectra, the technique is experimentally validated using bipolar complementary-correlation Golay codes along a 100 km-long fiber and 2 m spatial resolution, fully reso...
