Abstract

An analytical model is presented to describe the behavior of the acoustic wave, probe signal and Brillouin gain in double-pulse Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (DP-BOTDA) sensors. The proposed model is a tool that provides a full physical insight into the Brillouin interaction occurring in this double-pulse configuration, and allows the optimization and complete analysis of the system. The proposed solution is experimentally validated in a long-range system, which is optimized to demonstrate experimentally, for the first time, the capability of DP-BOTDA to achieve a 11 km sensing distance with 20 cm spatial resolution and a frequency resolution of 0.5 MHz.

Cross-validation (statistics)

Cross-validation, sometimes called rotation estimation or out-of-sample testing, is any of various similar model validation techniques for assessing how the results of a statistical analysis will generalize to an independent data set. Cross-validation is a resampling method that uses different portions of the data to test and train a model on different iterations. It is mainly used in settings where the goal is prediction, and one wants to estimate how accurately a predictive model will perform in practice.

Conceptual model

A conceptual model is a representation of a system. It consists of concepts used to help people know, understand, or simulate a subject the model represents. In contrast, a physical model focuses on a physical object such as a toy model that may be assembled and made to work like the object it represents. The term may refer to models that are formed after a conceptualization or generalization process. Conceptual models are often abstractions of things in the real world, whether physical or social.

Time–frequency representation

A time–frequency representation (TFR) is a view of a signal (taken to be a function of time) represented over both time and frequency. Time–frequency analysis means analysis into the time–frequency domain provided by a TFR. This is achieved by using a formulation often called "Time–Frequency Distribution", abbreviated as TFD. TFRs are often complex-valued fields over time and frequency, where the modulus of the field represents either amplitude or "energy density" (the concentration of the root mean square over time and frequency), and the argument of the field represents phase.

Even at rest, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data displays exquisitely complex temporal dynamics. Here, we deployed a time-frequency analysis to track the modulus of fMRI signals over time, across space (a set of 341 brain areas) and frequenc ...

Light propagation in 2-layered turbid media that have an infinitely thick 2nd layer is studied with time-resolved reflectance. The authors used a soln. of the diffusion equation for this geometry to show that it is possible to derive the absorption and the ...
