Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to a Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analyzer (BOTDA) based on pre-pump pulses and Gray (Golay) code encoding. Background technique [0002] The distributed optical fiber sensing system is a sensing system used to continuously measure physical quantities such as temperature and strain at any position along the optical fiber. The optical fiber in the system is not only the transmission medium of light but also the sensing carrier, which can realize long-distance and large-scale Sensing is an important branch of optical fiber sensing. Among many distributed optical fiber sensing systems, the Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analyzer (BOTDA) based on stimulated Brillouin scattering has the advantages of long sensing distance, high measurement accuracy and high spatial resolution. It has broad application prospects in the structural monitoring of communication optical cables, ...
