Publication Open Access Investigation on the working point of slope-assisted dynamic Brillouin distributed fiber sensing(SPIE, 2019) Feng, Cheng; Mariñelarena Ollacarizqueta, Jon; Schneider, Thomas; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenIn this paper, an investigation on the working point of slope-assisted dynamic distributed Brillouin sensing is presented. A comparison has been carried out between the sensing performances achieved at the inflection point and the 3 dB point of the Brillouin gain spectrum. Besides the intrinsic 13.1% frequency-to-amplitude sensitivity enhancement and a higher signal level, the dynamic sensing at the inflection point can achieve a doubled in maximum and in average a 36.8% wider dynamic range with much better working point symmetry. Simulations with strain signals also demonstrate that, compared to the 3 dB point, the average error at the inflection point can be significantly reduced to only 27.7%. As shown in this work, by a simple shift of the working point from the 3 dB to the inflection point, slope-assisted dynamic sensing can be well enhanced.Publication Open Access Gain dependence of measured spectra in coherent Brillouin optical time-domain analysis sensors(SPIE, 2016) Mariñelarena Ollacarizqueta, Jon; Urricelqui Polvorinos, Javier; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaWe report on the effects of large pump pulse powers on Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors based on phase-modulated probe wave and coherent detection. It is found that the large Brillouin gain that comes from the use of high power pulses induces a narrowing of the RF phase-shift spectrum that is measured in these sensors. This narrowing leads to a Brillouin frequency shift measurement error when the sensor is configured for dynamic measurements. However, the effect has been found to be less significant than that observed in dynamic slope-assisted BOTDA sensors based on amplitude.Publication Open Access Gain dependence of the phase-shift spectra measured in coherent Brillouin optical time-domain analysis sensors(IEEE, 2016) Mariñelarena Ollacarizqueta, Jon; Urricelqui Polvorinos, Javier; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaWe report on the effects of large pump pulse powers on Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors based on phase-modulated probe wave and coherent self-heterodyne detection. These sensors are particularly suitable to perform dynamic strain and temperature measurements because the radio-frequency (RF) signal that is obtained when the probe wave is detected has a phase-shift spectrum that is independent to first order of the Brillouin gain. Therefore, a fixed optical frequency separation between pump and probe wave can be deployed and uses the stable RF phase-shift spectrum to obtain the Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) from measured changes in the probe RF phase-shift. However, in this paper, it is found that there is a narrowing of the RF phase-shift spectrum that depends on the Brillouin gain. This effect becomes significant when very high power pulses are used and the resultant large gain induces a narrowing of the RF phase-shift spectrum. This narrowing leads to a BFS measurement error when the sensor is configured for dynamic measurements. We analyze, theoretically and experimentally, the origins and the magnitude of the narrowing of RF phase-shift spectra for high pump pulses in a coherent BOTDA sensor. Furthermore, this spectral shape change is compared to the broadening of the gain spectrum that has been recently discovered in conventional direct-detection BOTDA sensors, which is linearly dependent on the pulse peak power injected to the fiber, finding that the spectral shape change is less significant in coherent BOTDA sensors. Finally, we quantify the BFS measurement error that it can induce and find the trade-offs to keep it below a certain threshold. It is found that, from a practical point of view, this effect is significant for short fibers, where nonlinear effects are negligible and large pump pulses can be used.
