In sensor, the high-order sideband energy of continuous light is shifted to pulsed light, although this method is alleviated to a certain extent due to pumping
The deformation of brillouin gain spectrum caused by exhausting, but in practical applications, since signal light and pulsed light are limited to nonlinear effect,
Therefore, signal-to-noise ratio promotion is not obvious, and there is no the non-local effects for solving the introducing of loop latter half.
And use and inject step pulse light in sensor fibre, the backward Rayleigh that pre- 1 rank sideband of pumping pulse light is generated
It scatters and stimulated Brillouin scattering effect, while sensing impulse and pre- pump occurs with the sensing impulse light transmitted in opposite directions as detection light
Stimulated Brillouin scattering effect, then benefit occur for the spontaneous brillouin scattering signal that pulsed light 0 rank base band preexciting sound wave in Pu generates
With the detection light for returning to incidence end carrying stimulated Brillouin scattering information, the Brillouin shift on optical fiber at each point, the party are obtained
