Abstract
We experimentally analyzed two different nonlinear fitting methods for a Brillouin optical time domain reflectometery (BOTDR) system. By measuring the spontaneous Brillouin frequency and comparing a Lorentzian fit with a Voigt fit, we confirmed that the accuracy of the Lorentzian fit was higher than that of the Voigt fit. We also performed long-range distributed measurements using coherent detection system with a 36km long-range optical fiber. The extinction ratio of optical pulse was improved by employing an acousto-optic modulator (AOM). As a result, we could successfully measure the Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) using a Lorentzian fit algorithm in order to calculate applied temperature and strain in the optical fiber.
