Abstract
In conventional Brillouin optical time domain reflectometry (BOTDR),mutual restraint between the spatial resolution and the width of spontaneous Brillouin scattering spectrum can not be avoided. To solve this problem, we ameliorated the approach using double ultra-short pulses as probe light. By detecting spectral envelope, the spatial resolution of BOTDR can be extracted. This method improves the spatial resolution of the BOTDR system and meanwhile avoids the influence of Brillouin gain spectrum broadening caused by narrowing pulse on measurement accuracy. The experimental results show that with this novel BOTDR system, the temperature measurement can be realized at a 0.5 m spatial resolution, and the large broadening of the spontaneous Brillouin scattering spectrum can be avoided.
