Design of Rayleigh BOTDA System Combined with Balance Detector
A novel Rayleigh Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis(RBOTDA)scheme is proposed to deal with the low Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR)issue in traditional RBOTDA system.The output power is increased by 2 times than single-ended detection based on balanced detection with Stokes sideband and anti-Stokes sideband information.Due to the noise characteristics of two photodiode input signals
the use of balanced detection increases the noise power by 2
1/2
and the SNR is also increased by 2
1/2
.The feasibility of the system is verified on 2.4 km optical fiber.It is shown that the signal is improved obviously by using the balanced detection technique.
