Abstract

Ultra-long-distance distributed fiber-optic sensing based on Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) is achieved by using a proposed configuration of hybrid distributed Raman amplification (H-DRA), that is realized by incorporating random fiber laser (RFL) based 2nd-order pump and low-noise laser-diode (LD) based 1st-order pump. A repeater-less sensing distance of up to 154.4km with 5m spatial resolution and ~±1.4°C temperature uncertainty is successfully demonstrated, which is the longest repeater-less BOTDA reported to date.
