Distributed dynamic large strain optical fiber sensor based on the detection of spontaneous Brillouin scattering
Distributed dynamic large strain optical fiber sensor based on the detection of spontaneous Brillouin scattering
A Brillouin-based distributed optical fiber dynamic strain sensor is described which converts strain-induced Brillouin frequency shift into optical intensity variations by using an imbalanced Mach-Zhender interferometer. A 3 x 3 coupler is used at the output of this interferometer to permit differentiate and cross multiply demodulation. The demonstrated sensor is capable of probing dynamic strain disturbances over 2 km of sensing length every 0.5 s up to a strain of 10 m.epsilon with an accuracy of ±50 µ.epsilon and spatial resolution of 1.3 m.

Abstract
A Brillouin-based distributed optical fiber dynamic strain sensor is described which converts strain-induced Brillouin frequency shift into optical intensity variations by using an imbalanced Mach-Zhender interferometer. A 3 x 3 coupler is used at the output of this interferometer to permit differentiate and cross multiply demodulation. The demonstrated sensor is capable of probing dynamic strain disturbances over 2 km of sensing length every 0.5 s up to a strain of 10 m.epsilon with an accuracy of ±50 µ.epsilon and spatial resolution of 1.3 m.
