The polarization diversity scheme contains two polarization beam splitters (PBSs) and a piece of single mode fiber (SMF). The pulsed pump wave is split into two beams with orthogonal polarization states and one of the beams is delayed by a time related to the pulse width. Then, the two beams are recombined. Theoretically, the Degree-of-Polarization (DOP) of the recombined wave is zero and the distributed sensing system is insensitive to the polarization state of the probe. Stable distributed temperature measurement is demonstrated along a 1.2 km SMF. | Source Title: | Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/71906 | ISBN: | 9780819472045 | ISSN: | 0277786X | DOI: | 10.1117/12.785907 |
