High-Spatial- and Spectral-Resolution Time-Domain Brillouin Distributed Sensing by Use of Two Frequency-Shifted Optical Beam Pairs

We present a novel scheme aimed to improve spectral resolution in Brillouin distributed sensors based on single-mode standard fibers. The method makes use of two frequency-shifted optical pairs, the first one (the "writing" pair) devoted to excite the acoustic wave and the second one (the...
