Sources of noise in Brillouin optical time-domain analyzers
(SPIE, 2015)
Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena,
This paper presents a thorough study of the different sources of noise affecting Brillouin optical time-domain analyzers (BOTDA), providing a deep insight into the understanding of the fundamental limitations of this kind ...
Brilloun optical time domain analysis sensor assisted by a Brillouin distributed amplifier
(SPIE, 2015)
Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena,
We demonstrate the extension of the measurement range of Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA)
sensors using a distributed Brillouin amplifier (DBA). The technique is based on injecting a DBA pump wave in
the ...

(SPIE, 2015)
Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena,
We present a simplified configuration for distributed Brillouin optical time domain analysis sensors. The technique is based on passive optical filtering of the spectral components generated in an RF-pulse-modulated optical ...
Enhanced tolerance to pulse extinction ratio in Brillouin optical time domain analysis sensors by dithering of the optical source
(SPIE, 2015)
Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena,
We demonstrate the relaxation of the stringent requirements placed on the pulse extinction ratio in long-range Brillouin optical time-domain analysis sensors (BOTDA) by modulating the wavelength of the laser source that ...

(SPIE, 2014)
Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena,
We introduce a modification of the differential pulse width pair technique in a BOTDA sensor based on a phase modulated probe wave and RF demodulation. This provides a differential Brillouin phasorial signal with high ...
Polarization diversity for Brillouin distributed fiber sensors based on a double orthogonal pump

Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena,
We demonstrate a novel Brillouin optical time domain analysis sensor deploying a polarization diversity technique which eliminates the need for polarization scrambling, providing measurements that are largely immune to the ...
Synthesis of virtual Brillouin frequency shift profiles in BOTDA sensors using optical source dithering
(SPIE, 2014)
Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena,
We demonstrate a novel concept for Brillouin optical time domain analysis sensors that is based on synthesizing a virtual Brillouin frequency shift profile along the sensing fiber. The technique is based on modulating the ...
Dynamic BOTDA measurements using Brillouin phase-shift
(SPIE, 2012)
Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena,
We demonstrate a novel dynamic BOTDA sensor based, for the first time to our knowledge, on the use of the Brillouin phase-shift instead of the conventional Brillouin gain. This provides the advantage of measurements that ...
Mitigation of modulation instability in Brillouin distributed fiber sensors by using orthogonal polarization pulses
(SPIE, 2015)
Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena,
A technique based on the use of orthogonally-polarized pulses is proposed to mitigate the detrimental impact of modulation
instability on Brillouin distributed fiber sensors. While the theoretical underpinnings of the ...
