High spatial resolution microwave detection system for Brillouin-based distributed temperature and strain sensors
High spatial resolution microwave detection system for Brillouin-based distributed temperature and strain sensors
We present a microwave detection system for coherent detection of spontaneous Brillouin-based distributed temperature and strain measurements. The system was designed to overcome the existing bandwidth limitations of a previously used commercial spectrum analyser and provide a commercially practical solution to the detection of the Brillouin frequency shift and intensity for long range high spatial resolution measurements. The detection system bandwidth corresponds to a potential spatial resolution of ~60 cm. The system was demonstrated as a temperature sensor over a range of 30 km, with a temperature resolution of 1.6 °C and spatial resolution of ~2 m. It was also demonstrated as a combined temperature and strain sensor over a range of 6.3 km with ~1.3 m spatial resolution; temperature and strain resolutions of 3 °C and 80 µε respectively were achieved.

Abstract
We present a microwave detection system for coherent detection of spontaneous Brillouin-based distributed temperature and strain measurements. The system was designed to overcome the existing bandwidth limitations of a previously used commercial spectrum analyser and provide a commercially practical solution to the detection of the Brillouin frequency shift and intensity for long range high spatial resolution measurements. The detection system bandwidth corresponds to a potential spatial resolution of ~60 cm. The system was demonstrated as a temperature sensor over a range of 30 km, with a temperature resolution of 1.6 °C and spatial resolution of ~2 m. It was also demonstrated as a combined temperature and strain sensor over a range of 6.3 km with ~1.3 m spatial resolution; temperature and strain resolutions of 3 °C and 80 µε respectively were achieved.
