Channel Capacity of Wavelength Division Multiplexing-Based Brillouin Optical Time Domain Sensors

We propose and demonstrate a novel WDM-based Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) sensor using Brillouin loss configuration, and theoretically analyze channel capacity of WDM-based brillouin optical time domain reflectometry (BOTDR) and BOTDA sensors by considering the fiber dispersion and...
