Abstract

A new fast and distributed optical time-domain sensing technique, employing the slope of Brillouin dynamic gratings (BDG) in polarization-maintaining (PM) fibers, is proposed and demonstrated. The strain sensitivity of the reflectivity of a pulsed probe, orthogonally polarized to the pumps which generated the BDG, is shown to depend on both pump and probe detuning. An optimum detuning point is then found, which provides maximum strain sensitivity. We report the measurement of 400Hz strain vibrations with a spatial resolution of 4.2cm at a sampling rate of 16kHz.
