Abstract

The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) enhancement using polarization scrambler, narrowband-stop grating and cumulative average processing in Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer (BOTDR) is studied experimentally. Compared to the result without these methods, it is confirmed that these techniques can provide the SNR enhancement in our experiment. This makes it possible to perform a better detection threshold and resolution. The experiment result shows that a temperature resolution of 2°C with a spatial resolution of 3 m is achieved on our BOTDR sensor system.
