Abstract

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 source. The aim of this configuration is to reduce the cost of the sensor by simplifying the generation of the optical waves involved in the sensing process. Proof-of-concept experiments demonstrate distributed temperature measurement with 1 m resolution over a 20 km sensing fiber.
