Abstract

We develop a new configuration of Brillouin optical correlation-domain reflectometry by sophisticated electrical signal processing. Through a variety of demonstrations, we experimentally show that this system can satisfy many advantages simultaneously, such as (1) high sampling/repetition rate, (2) intrinsically one-end-access interrogation, (3) high spatial resolution, (4) wide strain dynamic range, (5) high signal-to-noise ratio, and (6) system simplicity and cost efficiency.
