Abstract

A novel optical modulation method for stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and the phase noise suppression in a remote interferometric fiber sensing system is proposed. Compared to the conventional phase modulation method to suppress SBS with only one phase modulation signal, another phase modulation signal with π shift is applied at the output end of the fiber, which converts the generated multi-frequency light to single-frequency light. Therefore the method can suppress not only SBS but also the phase noise induced by linewidth broadening owing to the first phase modulation. As a result, the method can keep the system a low phase noise level with a higher input power, which overcomes the conventional drawback of linewidth broadening. The results show a good reference to the design of remote interferometric fiber sensing systems.
