Abstract

Simple measures to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of optical frequency domain reflectometer (OFDR) readings are described. After applying a two-stage optical amplification of the backscattered signal, as well as eliminating the source of spurious reflections, it was possible to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the frequency domain trace from 8 to 19 dB. This technique can be applied in fiber optic sensors and metrology of fiber optic and integrated optical elements.
