Incoherent Brillouin Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry With Random State Correlated Brillouin Spectrum

An incoherent Brillouin optical time-domain reflectometry with random state correlated Brillouin spectrum is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for the first time, which is based on a newly developed broadband random light source (chaotic laser) with a bandwidth of four times of the Brillouin...
