    Dynamic BOTDA measurements based on Brillouin phase-shift and RF demodulation
    (Optical Society of America, 2012) Urricelqui Polvorinos, Javier; Zornoza Indart, Ander; 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 dynamic BOTDA sensor based, for the first time to our knowledge, on the use of the Brillouin phase shift in addition to the conventional Brillouin gain. This provides the advantage of measurements that are largely immune to variations in fiber attenuation or changes in pump pulse power. Furthermore, the optical detection deployed leads to an enhanced precision or measurement time and to the broadening of the measurement range. Proof of concept experiments demonstrate 1.66 kHz measurement rate with 1 m resolution over a 160 m sensing fiber length. Moreover, a measurement range of 2560 µε with a precision of 20 µε is successfully proved.

    Distortion-free Brillouin distributed sensor using RF shaping of pump pulses
    (SPIE, 2009-10-05) Zornoza Indart, Ander; Olier Aguado, David; Sagüés García, Mikel; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    We demonstrate a novel configuration for Brillouin optical time domain analysis based on single-sideband modulation and RF shaping that provides pump pulses with 80-dB extinction ratio. This extremely reduced leakage, which to our knowledge is the lowest ever achieved, completely suppresses distortion of the measured spectra, thus sensor precision is enhanced. Furthermore, the proposed setup results in a simplified system with only one modulator and no need for optical filtering in detection.
