Abstract
En 中文
We have demonstrated a polarization-sensitive OFDR which uses a commercially available digital coherent optical transceiver to generate a continuous-phase linear frequency chirp by carrier-suppressed single-sideband modulation. The linearity of the digitally generated chirp was experimentally verified, confirming the suitability of the transceiver for OFDR sensing applications. A phase and polarization diverse coherent homodyne receiver recovers the state of polarization (SOP) of backscattered light using an identically chirped local oscillator. With $26\ \text{GHz}$ chirping bandwidth, a spatial resolution of approximately $5\ {\text{mm}}$ was achieved in 200 $\mu {\text{s}}$. We experimentally measured position-dependent relative magnitude and orientation of stress-induced birefringence along the fiber.
