Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate fully distributed strain sensing along the length of a linearly chirped fibre Bragg grating with simultaneously high spatial and temporal resolution based on photonic time stretch frequency domain reflectometry (PTS-FDR). The distributed strain information is reconstructed from the instantaneous RF frequency of a temporal interference waveform via short-time Fourier transform analysis. The utility of the proposed method is characterized by analysing the spatial and temporal resolution obtained. An ultrafast strain measurement at a speed of 50 MHz with a high spatial resolution of 31.5 µm over a gauge length of 25 mm and a strain resolution of 9.1 µ? have been achieved.
