Optical low coherence reflectometry and fiber Bragg gratings written in small diameter (50 micrometer) optical fibers were used for measurements of non-homogenous internal strain fields inside an epoxy specimen with sub-grating length resolution. The resul ...
A novel BOTDA technique for distributed sensing of the Brillouin frequency in optical fibers with cm-order spatial resolution is proposed. The technique is based upon a simple modulation scheme, requiring only a single long pump pulse for acoustic excitati ...
Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCF) play a crucial role for fundamental investigations such as acousto-optical interactions as well as for applications, such as distributed sensors. One limiting factor for these experiments is the fiber inhomogeneity owing to th ...
We experimentally demonstrate a novel technique to realize a tunable delay line based on dynamic Brillouin gratings in a high birefringence fiber. A 8ns pulse signal is continuously delayed up to 184ns with minor distortion. ...
We present a novel distributed sensing technique that makes possible the observation of Brillouin gain spectral distribution and acoustic decay time in photonic crystal fiber as well as in standard single-mode fiber. ...

In this Letter, we propose the use of optical pulse coding techniques for long-range distributed sensors based on Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA). Compared to conventional BOTDA sensors, optical coding provides a significant sensing-range en ...
Optical fiber sensors based on stimulated Brillouin scattering have now clearly demonstrated their excellent capability for long-range distributed strain and temperature measurements. The fiber is used as sensing element, and a value for temperature and/or ...
Spontaneously broadened emission from a distributed feedback laser diode perated just above threshold is used as a pump source in Brillouin slow light systems. The pump spectrum could this way be extended to several GHz. ...

A dynamically reconfigurable Microwave Photonic Filter based on True Time Delay generated by Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in optical fibers and separate phase shift of the optical carrier has been experimentally demonstrated, resulting in a flexible tun ...
