Publication Open Access Distributed strain sensing with large dynamic range based on two-wavelength phase-sensitive OTDR(Optica Publishing Group, 2020) Piñeiro Ben, Enrique; Sagüés García, Mikel; Mompó Roselló, Juan José; Eyal, Avishay; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenWe demonstrate the use of two-wavelengths to enhance the dynamic range in phase-sensitive OTDR vibration sensors. The system overcomes the phase wrapping con- strains by the synthesis of an equivalent wavelength measurement.Publication Open Access Brillouin optical time-domain analysis sensor assisted by Brillouin distributed amplification of pump pulses(Optical Society of America, 2015) Urricelqui Polvorinos, Javier; Sagüés García, Mikel; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaWe 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 fiber to generate an additional Brillouin interaction that amplifies the BOTDA pump pulses and compensates optical fiber attenuation. This amplification does not introduce any significant noise to the BOTDA’s probe wave due to the inherent directionality of the Brillouin gain. Additionally, we deploy a differential pulse-width pair measurement method to avoid measurement errors due to the interplay between the self-phase modulation effect and the changes in the temporal shape of the pulses induced by the transient behavior of Brillouin gain. Experimental proof-of-concept results in a 50-km fiber link demonstrate full compensa- tion of the fiber’s attenuation with no penalty on the signal-to-noise ratio of the detected signal.Publication Open Access Compensation of phase noise impairments in distributed acoustic sensors based on optical pulse compression time-domain reflectometry(IEEE, 2023) Piñeiro Ben, Enrique; Sagüés García, Mikel; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenWe introduce a method to compensate for the deleterious effects of the phase noise of the laser source on long-range distributed acoustic sensors (DAS) that implement optical pulse compression (OPC). Pulse compression can be used in coherent optical time-domain reflectometry (COTDR) sensors to extend the measurement range without compromising spatial resolution. In fact, OPC-COTDR sensors have demonstrated the longest measurement range to date in passive sensing links that do not require distributed amplification to compensate fiber attenuation. However, it has been found that the limited coherence of the laser source has a degrading effect on the actual performance enhancement that pulse compression can bring because it constrains the maximum duration of the compression waveforms that can be used and makes the use of lasers with extremely low phase noise necessary.We introduce a technique to compensate for the effects of phase noise on OPC-COTDR sensors so that they can demonstrate their full potential for long-range measurements using lasers with less stringent phase noise requirements. The method is based on sampling the phase noise of the laser with an auxiliary interferometer and using this information in a simple signal processing technique to mitigate its deleterious effect on the signal measured. We test our method in an OPCCOTDR sensor that uses 500-μs linear frequency modulated pulses to demonstrate 100-km range measurements with 200 p/√Hz of strain sensitivity at 2-m initial spatial resolution that becomes 10-m after applying the gauge length. To our knowledge, this is the longest compression waveform demonstrated to date in an OPCCOTDR sensor. Its use provides an extra 20-km range compared to previous demonstrations using laser sources of comparable linewidth. Furthermore, comparable performance is also demonstrated when using a laser source with an order of magnitude larger linewidth.Publication Open Access Compensation of laser phase noise in coded distributed acoustic sensing(Optica Publishing Group, 2023) Piñeiro Ben, Enrique; Sagüés García, Mikel; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISCWe demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, a technique for the compensation of phase noise effects in coded pulse compression DAS and compare its performance to systems using frequency-modulated pulse compression.Publication Open Access Long-range and high-resolution traffic monitoring based on pulse-compression DAS and advanced vehicle tracking algorithm(Optica Publishing Group, 2022) Corera Orzanco, Íñigo; Piñeiro Ben, Enrique; Navallas Irujo, Javier; Sagüés García, Mikel; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenWe demonstrate traffic monitoring over tens of kilometres of road using an enhanced distributed acoustic sensing system based on optical pulse compression and a novel transformed-domain-based processing scheme with enhanced vehicle detection and tracking capabilities.Publication Open Access Synthesis of Brillouin frequency shift profiles to compensate non-local effects and Brillouin induced noise in BOTDA sensors(Optical Society of America, 2014) Urricelqui Polvorinos, Javier; Sagüés García, Mikel; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaWe present a novel technique for Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) sensors that simultaneously compensates non local effects and reduces Brillouin noise. The technique relies on the wavelength modulation of the optical source to modify the Brillouin interaction between probe and pump waves during their propagation. The resulting Brillouin distribution mimics the wavelength modulation, creating a virtual Brillouin frequency shift profile along the sensing fiber. The fundamentals of the technique are first described theoretically and using numerical simulations. Then, proof of concept experiments demonstrate the capabilities of the system to reduce large variations of the pump power resulting from the interaction with high probe powers and to decrease the Brillouin induced noise enhancing the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the system. Furthermore, we show, for the first time to our knowledge, measurements of the Brillouin distribution using an injected optical power higher than the Brillouin threshold of the fiber.Publication Open Access Monitorización de deformaciones y temperaturas en la estructura de un túnel artificial de alta velocidad mediante sensores ópticos puntuales, de longitud y distribuidos(CSIC, 2015) Torres, B.; Payá Zaforteza, I.; Barrera, D.; Alvarado, Y. A.; Calderón, P. A.; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Sagüés García, Mikel; Zornoza Indart, Ander; Sales, S.; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaLa monitorización de estructuras es una rama de la ingeniería estructural que está captando mucha atención actualmente. Las deformaciones y temperaturas son, habitualmente, los parámetros monitorizados porque son los que mejor representan el comportamiento estructural. De todos los tipos de sensores existentes, los basados en fibra óptica resultan especialmente interesantes debido a sus ventajas comparativas sobre los sensores convencionales. En este artículo se presentan los trabajos de monitorización de la estructura de un túnel artificial de Alta Velocidad construido en Mogente (España) mediante tres tipos de sensores ópticos desarrollados por los autores. Los resultados de los sensores se comparan con los proporcionados por un modelo teórico de elementos finitos. Esta comparación confirma que los sensores reproducen notablemente bien la pauta general de comportamiento de la estructura, incluso con pequeños niveles de deformación (5µε). Por último, el artículo discute el comportamiento de los sensores, sus mediciones y sus campos de aplicación.Publication Open Access Egituren egoeraren monitorizaziorako zuntz optikoan oinarritutako sentsore sinplifikatua(Udako Euskal Unibertsitatea, 2015) Iribas Pardo, Haritz; Sagüés García, Mikel; Mariñelarena Ollacarizqueta, Jon; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaBrillouin hedatuko denbora eremu optikoaren analisian (BOTDA) oinarritutako sentsoreak, estruktura handien (100 km luzerako estrukturak) deformazioa eta tenperatura neurtzeko gaitasuna dute.

The two-wavelength technique extends the measurement range of OTDR sensors by synthesizing a virtual longer-wavelength measurement from two simultaneous measurements of phase using different lasers. This increases the range free from phase unwrapping errors. However, we find that the application of this technique greatly increases the relative measurement noise. To compensate for this issue, we introduce the use of optical pulse compression using perfect periodic correlation phase codes to increase the measurement signal-to-noise ratio and also to facilitate the simultaneous compensation of Rayleigh and polarization fading. In addition, we apply a method to further reduce the relative noise that is added to the two-wavelength measurement by using the synthetic wavelength measurement to unwrap the differential phase measured with a single wavelength. All this is highlighted in a 1-km sensing link in which up to 20-cm spatial resolution and 12.6 𝑝���𝜖���/𝐻���𝑧���−−−√ strain sensitivity are demonstrated as well as a 67-fold enhancement in measurement range compared with the use of the conventional single-wavelength method.Publication Open Access Orthogonally polarized optical single sideband modulation for microwave photonics processing using stimulated Brillouin scattering(Optical Society of America, 2010) Sagüés García, Mikel; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaWe present a novel technique to generate orthogonally polarized optical single sideband modulated signals. The modulation scheme is based on all optical stimulated Brillouin scattering processing of the optical carrier of an optical single sideband modulated signal, by means of the polarization state dragging induced by this non-linear effect. This modulation technique can be used in several microwave photonics applications, such as antenna beamforming or microwave photonics filters. In order to perform a proofof-concept experiment, the orthogonal modulator is deployed for the implementation of an RF phase-shifter.
