Abstract

A Brillouin backscattered spectrum is obtained in such a way that two optical pulse pairs each composed of two pulses of different durations and of the same phase and Π phase difference are launched into a sensing optical fiber; Brillouin backscattered lights produced by the optical pulse pairs are detected into signals for the respective optical pulse pairs; the signals are sampled with two window functions whose time widths are equal to respective pulse durations of the optical pulse pair and whose delay time is variable; each sampled signal is transformed with a predetermined transformation; products of the transformed signals are calculated; and subtraction between the products is performed.
