H. Lee, K. Noda, Y. Mizuno, and K. Nakamura, “Trade-off relation between strain dynamic range and spatial resolution in slope-assisted Brillouin optical correlation-domain reflectometry,” Meas. Sci. Technol., vol. 30, no. 7, 075204 (2019).

Slope-assisted Brillouin optical correlation-domain reflectometry (SA-BOCDR) is one of the high-speed distributed strain sensing techniques, but its strain dynamic range has been limited to approximately 0.15%, which is far from being sufficient for some practical applications. In this paper, we clarify that, unlike widely used time-domain techniques, SA-BOCDR has a trade-off relation between the strain dynamic range and the spatial resolution. This trade-off originates from the unique bell-shaped noise floor inherently involved in the Brillouin gain spectrum observed with correlation-domain techniques. We experimentally show that, at the cost of 3 times lowered spatial resolution, the strain dynamic range of >0.6% can be achieved.
