Abstract

We report in this paper the simulation analysis on the simultaneous deployment of Brillouin gain and Brillouin loss in the Golay coded phase-shift pulse Brillouin optical time domain analysis (PSP-BOTDA) fiber optic sensor for improving the sensing distance and at the same time obtaining high spatial resolution measurement. In this technique, the Golay coded pump pulse is alternately frequency modulated for the purpose of generating Stokes and Anti-Stokes scattering. The technique also modulates the coded pump with the return-to-zero (RZ) formats. Simulation analysis has revealed that the simultaneous use of Brillouin gain- and loss and the pulse coding technique in the PSP-BOTDA has improved the dynamic sensing range and the signal-to-noise improvement ratio (SNIR) of the sensor. By performing simulation over 500 m of fiber, we have also successfully demonstrated 10-cm of high spatial resolution measurement with the use of 1ns of coded pulse duration.
