ABSTRACT
Hybrid systems based on Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) utilizing Rayleigh backscattering light wave as a probe have enabled single-end and long-range distributed sensing for multiple parameters. However, the spatial resolution for dynamic parameter measurement is limited, and the frequency scanning process of BOTDA is time-consuming. To address these challenges, we propose a hybrid system that combines BOTDA and time-gated digital optical frequency domain reflectometry (TGD-OFDR), aiming to enhance the spatial resolution of dynamic measurements without compromising the system's signal-to-noise ratio and eliminate the frequency scanning process of BOTDA. In the experimental setup, we conducted measurements on a 9.52 km single-mode fiber. A sinusoidal vibration with a frequency of 3 kHz was measured with a spatial resolution of 3 m, achieving a noise floor of 0.05 nε/âHz. Furthermore, temperature measurements with a spatial resolution of 10 m and a Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) measurement accuracy of 0.74 MHz were successfully obtained using the scanning-free single-end BOTDA technique. This hybrid system shows promising potential for various applications in distributed fiber-optic sensing.
