Abstract

The present a new optical frequency domain reflectometer based on a tunable fiber laser with a very narrow linewidth (about 10 kHz). This instrument performs reflectivity measurements with -110 dB sensitivity and 80 dB dynamic range. The narrow linewidth allows long-range measurements, at 150 m, with a spatial resolution of 16 cm. At short range, about 5 m, the resolution increases to subcentimeter.

Keywords
  • Frequency modulation
  • OFDR
  • Tunable laser.
