Abstract
Considered the limitation of sweeping frequency technique, Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer (BOTDR) can only perceive slow external interference. It greatly limits the scope of application. For perceiving rapid external interference, a method of cross correlation peak-seeking technique based on incomplete Brillouin spectrum (IBS) is proposed, and the feasibility of the method is verified under the background of the monitoring of sound barriers along the high-speed railway. The numerical simulation results indicate that the probability that obtains an accurate peak frequency error within the 0.50 MHz can reach 49/50, when frequency interval for sweeping is 5 MHz and number of splicing IBS is 80. In addition, to select the optimal parameters of the system, we also take a further analysis on the effect of the splicing times and the frequency interval for sweeping on the peak detection accuracy. This method is significant to extend the application of BOTDR from slow changing fields to rapid changing fields.
