Popis: | Extending the sensing range for monitoring the railways, pipelines, borders, long structures, etc., has great importance in distributed fiber optic sensors development. Phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (φ-OTDR) sensors are the best candidate for this purpose. Optical fiber amplifiers in φ-OTDR sensors have increased the sensing range. A φ-OTDR sensor using combination of Erbium and Raman amplifiers has been demonstrated with a sensing range of 128 km. In this paper, we presented a disturbance monitoring up to 150 km utilizing Erbium and bi-directional Raman amplifications. In the proposed sensor, disturbances at 30, 70 and 120 km distances are applied and Rayleigh backscattered signals are investigated. |
