Impact of self phase modulation on the performance of Brillouin distributed fibre sensors

Foaleng, S. M.; Martin Lopez, S.; Gonzalez Herraez, M.

Abstract

The spectral broadening of the pump pulse through self phase modulation in a time domain distributed Brillouin sensor is demonstrated to have a non-negligible detrimental effect, leading to a doubling of the effective gain linewidth after some 20 km in standard conditions. The theoretical modeling is fully confirmed by experimental results.
