Abstract

In this manuscript, we propose a new technique to suppress the noise level in an interferometric optical fiber sensing system. Previous work shows that laser frequency noise is the main factor that limits the resolution in a phase generated carrier (PGC) demodulation system. Using a bidirectional pumped random distributed feedback fiber laser (RDFL), the laser frequency noise can be suppressed from 30 Hz/√Hz to 4 Hz/√Hz above 1 kHz. Therefore, the wavelength resolution is improved from 5×10^-7 pm/√Hz@ 1 kHz to 5×10^-8 pm/√Hz@ 1 kHz.
