Abstract

We demonstrate a high-spatial-resolution fast Brillouin optical time-domain analysis scheme based on frequency agility and differential double-pulse for distributed dynamic measurement. The frequency-agility probe wave is obtained from the second-order sideband of the modulated light by using frequency-agility microwave signal from a wideband arbitrary waveform generator. The differential double-pulse technique is proposed to improve the spatial resolution while keeping the capability of dynamic measurement. In experiment, a spatial resolution of 20 cm is achieved by using a 52/50 ns differential double-pulse, and the distributed vibration measurement is demonstrated over a 50-m Panda fiber with a maximum vibration frequency of up to 50 Hz. With only five averages, the standard deviation of the strain accuracy is of 14 με.
