Optomechanical time-domain reflectometry

Optomechanical time-domain reflectometry

Distributed fibre sensors are so far restricted to the monitoring of conditions within the core. Here, Bashan et al. introduce distributed optomechanical mapping of outside media, where light cannot reach. The sensor resolves forward stimulated Brillouin scattering through Rayleigh back-scatter.
