READ ME File For 'Dataset title' Dataset DOI: 10.5258/SOTON/D2078 ReadMe Author: SHAHAB BAKHTIARI GORAJOOBI, University of Southampton This dataset supports the publication: AUTHORS: SHAHAB BAKHTIARI GORAJOOBI, ALI MASOUDI, and GILBERTO BRAMBILLA TITLE: Polarization fading mitigation in distributed acoustic sensors based on a highspeed polarization rotator JOURNAL: OPTICA Optics Letters PAPER DOI IF KNOWN: 10.1364/OL.450388 This dataset contains: Data of all figures are given in excel files, and labeled according to the content of the article. See below for detailed description of the content: The figures are as follows: -------------- Fig. 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related files: File name: 'Fig3.xls' Data: (a) OTDR traces, and (b) corresponding polarization state of the polarization rotator. Fig. 3(a) : First column gives Time, second column gives Normalized Optical Intensity Fig. 3(b) : Third column gives Time, fourth column gives polarization state -------------- Fig. 4(b) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related files: File name: 'Fig4b.xls' Data: The OTDR traces at the end of the test fiber corresponding to the two SoPs of s and p showing the polarization fading effect can occur at certain positions along the fiber. Fig. 4(b) : First column gives distance, second and third columns give optical intensity for s and p polarizations, respectively. -------------- Fig. 5(c)(g)(k) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related files: File name: 'Fig5cgk.xls' Data: Characterization of the DAS sensor, FFTs of signals for data sets 1-3 plotted in Fig.s (c) (g) and (k), repectively. Fig. 5(c) : First column gives distance, second and third coulmns give strain for s and p polarizations, respectively. Fig. 5(g) : Fourth column gives distance, fifth and sixth coulmns give strain for s and p polarizations, respectively. Fig. 5(k) : Seventh column gives distance, eighth and ninth coulmns give strain for s and p polarizations, respectively. -------------- Fig. 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related files: File name: 'Fig6.xls' Data: FFT of the reconstructed signal for data set 2 at 10 Hz showing the spatial distribution of the applied strain along the fiber First column gives distance, second coulmn gives strain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Licence: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License.
