We investigate the effect of a bidirectional erbium-doped fiber amplifier on the
reduction of the differential phase noise in long-range distributed acoustic sensing by coherent
detection. We succeeded in reducing the differential phase noise at the fiber position after
the amplifier over a distance of 100 km by adjusting the gain of the bidirectional amplifier
considering the amplified spontaneous emission. This will effectively improve the accuracy of
strain measurement over long distances.
