    摘要: Methods and systems used to perform sweep-free stimulated Brillouin scattering-based fiber optical sensing are described. In one aspect, a method includes interrogating different parts of a Brillouin gain spectrum using multiple optical tones in an optical fiber. The interrogating includes sending at least two pump tones into the optical fiber from one end of the optical fiber, such that a frequency spacing between the pump tones is larger than a width of the Brillouin gain spectrum. The interrogating also includes sending at least two probe tones into the optical fiber from another end of the optical fiber, such that a frequency spacing between the probe tones is different from the frequency spacing between the pump tones. The method further includes generating a sensing output based on the interrogating.

    摘要: A method of distributed and dynamical Brillouin sensing in optical fibers is provided herein. The method includes the following stages: deriving average characteristics of an optical fiber along its length; generating a variable frequency probe signal, such that the variable frequency is tailored to match, at specified points along the fiber, the respective average characteristics; injecting the variable frequency probe signal to a first end of the optical fiber and a periodic pulse signal to a second end of the optical fiber, wherein the injecting is synchronized such that a stimulated Brillouin scattering is carried out at each one of the specified points along the optical fiber, such that a frequency difference between the probe signal and the pump signal matches the average characteristics of the fiber; and measuring occurrences of the stimulated Brillouin scattering, to yield data indicative of strain and temperature at all points along the optical fiber.

    摘要: In an optical network through which data is transmitted as a stream of bits during successive bit periods by an optical source with a given optical center frequency, to a receiver for detecting a frequency baseband, interferometric noise power, in particular incoherent beat noise power, is minimized by causing a variation in the center frequency of the source such as to cause a redistribution of the incoherent beat noise power from the baseband to higher frequencies, thereby reducing the noise in the baseband.

    摘要: A technique and system for accurate determination of differential propagation delays in fiber-optic circuits. The method includes providing a sinusoidally modulated optical signal to each of two waveguides defining optical paths. The optical signals received from the optical paths are combined to form a reference output signal which has a null waveform whenever the propagation delay between the optical signals contains an odd number of half periods of the optical signal waveforms. The difference in the sinusoidal modulation frequency producing a first and second null or constant waveform in the reference signal is determined. This difference value between adjacent frequencies forming the null or constant waveforms comprises the inverse of the difference of signal propagation delay in the two optical paths. Accuracy is improved by measuring the sinusoidal modulation frequencies corresponding to first and second waveforms which are not formed by adjacent frequencies. The difference between those nonadjacent frequencies is divided by the difference in the reference waveform orders of the null reference waveforms to obtain the inverse of the differential propagation delay. Further accuracy is achieved by measuring at least one of the waveform nulls at a high waveform order. Still further accuracy is achieved by monitoring the reference waveforms on a network analyzer and using a frequency synthesizer to more precisely match and identify the modulation frequencies corresponding to the null reference signal waveforms. A system is disclosed for implementing this technique optionally using optical sources having a short coherence length. Mathematical relationships are disclosed for use with measured values in obtaining further improved accuracy.
