Hot spot detection over 100 km with 2 meter resolution in a Raman- assisted Brillouin distributed sensor

چکیده
We have developed a long-range Brillouin distributed sensor featuring 100 km measuring distance with 2 meter resolution. To our knowledge, this is the first time that a high-resolution setup reaches the barrier of 100 km measurement range. The key improvements with respect to previous configurations are explained.

BOTDA sensor with 2-m spatial resolution over 120 km distance using bi-directional distributed Raman amplification
In this paper we propose the use of optimized bi-directional distributed Raman amplification to enhance the operating range of Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors. In particular by combining high-power fiber-Raman lasers and polarization-multiplexed Fabry-Pérot lasers operating at 1450 nm with low relative-intensity-noise (RIN), we demonstrate distributed sensing (using first...

Differential pulse-width-pair BOTDA technique is combined with bi-directional Raman amplification and Simplex coding to achieve sub-meter spatial resolution over very long sensing distances. Numerical simulations are used to optimize the power levels of the Raman pumps, avoiding nonlinear effects and pump depletion. Distortions in the Brillouin gain spectrum due to acoustic-wave pre-excitation ...

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a new method to extend the range of Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) systems. It exploits the virtual transparency created by second-order Raman pumping in optical fibers. The idea is theoretically analyzed and experimentally demonstrated in a 50 km fiber. By working close to transparency, we also show that the measurement length of the BO...
