Abstract
A method to reconstruct the spatial distribution of Brillouin gain spectrum from its Radon transform is proposed, which is a type of optical computed tomography. To verify the concept, an experiment was performed on distributed Brillouin fiber sensing, which succeeded in detecting a 55-cm strain section along a 10-m fiber. The experimental system to obtain the Radon transform of the Brillouin gain spectrum is based on a Brillouin optical correlation-domain analysis with a linear frequency-modulated continuous-wave laser. Combining distributed fiber sensing with computed tomography, this method can realize a high signal-to-noise ratio Brillouin sensing.
