Semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is a common choice for pulse generator of a homodyne phase-OTDR (phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry) system. A forced carrier recombination method is proposed for improving the extinction ratio (ER) of an SOA. The input laser-excited carriers in the SOA can reduce its ER. The proposed method eventually improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the phase-OTDR. The effect of ER improvement is analysed by using the rate equation model, and in the experiment the SNR is improved by 5.2 dB in the phase-OTDR system: this result is important for long distance distributed vibration sensing application.

通过控制 SOA 中的载波来提高相位 OTDR 的 SNR

半导体光放大器 (SOA) 是零差相位 OTDR(相敏光时域反射计)系统脉冲发生器的常见选择。为了提高SOA的消光比(ER),提出了一种强制载流子复合方法。SOA 中输入激光激发的载流子可以降低其 ER。所提出的方法最终提高了相位 OTDR 的信噪比 (SNR)。使用速率方程模型分析了 ER 改进的效果,在实验中,相位 OTDR 系统的 SNR 提高了 5.2 dB:该结果对于长距离分布式振动传感应用很重要。
