A Novel Distributed Optical Fiber Sensing System Based on Parallel Computing

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new Brillouin optical time domain reflectometry (BOTDR) based on parallel computing method to extract the spontaneous Brillouin scattering spectra is proposed. By use of parallel computing method, the speed of digital signal processing unit in the new BOTDR can be improved by more than 40 times, which benefits dynamic measurement of the temperature and/or strain along the fiber under test.
