Y. Mizuno, H. Lee, N. Hayashi, and K. Nakamura, “Noise suppression technique for distributed Brillouin sensing with polymer optical fibers,” Opt. Lett., vol. 44, no. 8, pp. 2097-2100 (2019).

We develop a new noise suppression technique to perform distributed strain and temperature sensing based on a higher-speed configuration of Brillouin optical correlation-domain reflectometry even when a polymer optical fiber (POF) is used as a sensing fiber. We acquire the spectral difference between with and without reference light, leading to selective observation of the beat signal of Brillouin-scattered light and reference light, which is effective for distributed sensing. After experimentally showing the usefulness of this technique, we demonstrate POF-based distributed temperature sensing and dynamic strain sensing.
