Using an Auxiliary Mach–Zehnder Interferometer to Compensate for the Influence of Laser-Frequency-Drift in Φ-OTDR

In phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (Φ-OTDR), the frequency drift of the laser source induces the fluctuation of signal, which limits the measurement capacity of Φ-OTDR for low frequency severely. In this paper, we propose a method to compensate for the influen...
