A Cost-Effective Distributed Acoustic Sensor Using a Commercial Off-the-Shelf DFB Laser and Direct Detection Phase-OTDR

We propose and experimentally demonstrate the use of cyclic pulse coding for enhanced performance in distributed acoustic sensing based on a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (φ-OTDR) using direct detection. First, we present a theoretical analysis showing that to make cyc...
