Enhanced Optical Fiber for Distributed Acoustic Sensing beyond the Limits of Rayleigh Backscattering

Enhanced Optical Fiber for Distributed Acoustic Sensing beyond the Limits of Rayleigh Backscattering

Summary: We report on engineered fibers with enhanced optical backscattering that exceeds Rayleigh scattering limits by more than one order of magnitude. We measure attenuation less than 0.5 dB/km from 1,300 to 1,650 nm. By controlling the enhanced backscatter over a 1.5-km length, we compensate for...
