Sub-centimetre Spatial Resolution in Distributed Fibre Sensing, based on Dynamic Brillouin Grating in Optical Fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Sang Hoon Chin, Nikolay Primerov

Optical fibre sensors based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers have now clearly demonstrated their excellent capability for long-range distributed strain and temperature measurements. The fibre is used as sensing element and a value for t ...

Optical Fibre optimized for the Reduction of Nonlinear effects

Luc Thévenaz

An optical fibre designed to simultaneously attenuate the effect of modulation instability and stimulated Raman scattering. A first solution proposes to use non-zero dispersion shifted fibres in the normal dispersion regime to reduce both influences at the ...

1 Mbps coherent one-way QKD with dense wavelength division multiplexing and hardware key distillation

Andreas Peter Burg, Jeremy Hugues-Felix Constantin, Nicolas Gisin

We present the latest results obtained with a quantum cryptography prototype based on a coherent-one way quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme. To support its continuous high rate secret key generation we developed different low-noise single photon detecto ...

Localized and stationary dynamic gratings via stimulated Brillouin scattering with phase modulated pumps

Luc Thévenaz, Nikolay Primerov

A novel technique for the localization of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) interaction is proposed, analyzed and demonstrated experimentally. The method relies on the phase modulation of two counter-propagating optical waves by a common pseudo-random ...

High-resolution Brillouin fiber sensing using random phase coding of the pump and probe waves

Luc Thévenaz, Nikolay Primerov

Distributed temperature measurements with 1.2 cm resolution based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in standard fibers are reported. High resolution is achieved by phase-coding both pump and probe waves with a high-rate, pseudo-random binary phase c ...
