    Polarization diversity for Brillouin distributed fiber sensors based on a double orthogonal pump
    (SPIE, 2014) Urricelqui Polvorinos, Javier; López Fernandino, Felipe; Sagüés García, Mikel; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    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 state of polarization of the probe wave and the pump pulses throughout the sensing fiber. This can be exploited to reduce the measurement time or can lead to an enhanced precision. Proof of concept experiments demonstrate a 651 Hz sampling rate with 1m resolution over a 930m sensing fiber.

    Polarization diversity scheme for BOTDA sensors based on a double orthogonal pump interaction
    (IEEE, 2015) Urricelqui Polvorinos, Javier; López Fernandino, Felipe; Sagüés García, Mikel; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    We introduce a Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) sensor deploying a novel polarization diversity technique based on the use of two orthogonal pump pulses which simultaneously interact with a phase modulated probe wave. The orthogonallity of the two pump pulses guarantees that two complementary Brillouin interactions take place at each position of the fiber, so that polarization independent measurements are performed throughout the fiber even if no averaging is applied. This feature can be exploited in dynamic distributed BOTDA sensors to reduce the measurement time, as no extra averaging is required to compensate the polarization dependence of Brillouin interaction. Proof of concept experiments demonstrate the feasibility of the technique by employing a completely passive scheme to generate the orthogonal pump pulses. Furthermore, the technique is stable and easy to implement, making it a perfect candidate for practical sensor implementations.
