Abstract

Brillouin-based optical fiber sensors have been developed over the past few years and played a significant role for distributed temperature and strain measurements, which include many properties such as high measurement accuracy, large measurement range and environmental suitability. Among these sensors, Brillouin optical fiber sensors via optical chirp chain (OCC) become an ideal choice for ultrafast distributed measurement to distinguish quick-changing events in practical applications. This paper begins with the introduction of the concept and the generation schemes of OCC, the spectra distortion characteristic of OCC Brillouin signal are analyzed. The efforts towards such OCC based Brillouin optical fiber sensing for ultrafast measurement are reviewed here as well, with the OCC based Brillouin optical time domain analysis and the OCC based Brillouin optical time domain reflectometry, which give distinguished performance for dynamic measurement, long distance measurement and one end access measurement. Meanwhile, the consequent future challenges of OCC based distributed sensing are discussed and presented, such as as high spatial resolution and high accuracy measurement.
