Main Methods:

  • Superimposing a Brillouin gain spectrum (BGS) with two symmetric Brillouin loss spectra (BLS) to create an engineered spectrum.
  • Utilizing three optical probe waves: one in the BGS and two symmetrically in the BLS.
  • Analyzing the engineered spectrum's resistance to sensing system noise.

Main Results:

  • The engineered spectrum shape demonstrated increased resistance and insensitivity to noise.
  • Sensing performance was enhanced by 60% compared to conventional methods.
  • The measurand resolution was effectively doubled.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed spectral engineering technique significantly improves BOTDA sensing performance.
  • This method offers a robust solution for overcoming noise limitations in optical sensing.
  • The doubled resolution opens new possibilities for high-precision distributed measurements.
