Abstract
We develop a new configuration of optical correlation-domain reflectometry (OCDR), termed dual-laser OCDR, which utilizes two independent laser diodes for the incident and reference light sources. We experimentally verify its operation via distributed reflectivity measurement along a 52-m-long sensing fiber under the control of the relative modulation phase between the incident and reference lights. The unique operation of dual-laser OCDR offers multiple advantages over conventional OCDR, including system simplification and constant spatial resolution over sensing position.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
