Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Pump Laser Frequency Fluctuations on Signal-to-Noise Ratio of Brillouin Dynamic Grating Measurement with Coherent FMCW Reflectometry

Signal-dependent speckle-like noise has constituted a serious factor in Brillouin-grating based frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) reflectometry and it has been indispensable for improving the signal-to-noise ratio<i> </i>(S/N) of the Brillouin dynamic grating measurement to clar...
