Brillouin and rayleigh distributed sensor

According to examples, a Brillouin and Rayleigh distributed sensor may include a first laser source to emit a first laser beam, and a second laser source to emit a second laser beam. A photodiode may acquire a beat frequency between the two laser beams. The beat frequency may be used to maintain a p...

Zusammenfassung:	According to examples, a Brillouin and Rayleigh distributed sensor may include a first laser source to emit a first laser beam, and a second laser source to emit a second laser beam. A photodiode may acquire a beat frequency between the two laser beams. The beat frequency may be used to maintain a predetermined offset frequency shift between the two laser beams. A modulator may modulate the first laser beam. The modulated first laser beam is to be injected into a device under test (DUT). A coherent receiver may acquire a backscattered signal from the DUT. The backscattered signal results from the modulated first laser beam injected into the DUT. The coherent receiver may use the second laser beam as a local oscillator to determine Brillouin and Rayleigh traces with respect to the DUT based on the predetermined offset frequency shift.
