Abstract(in English) According to the basic theory on Brillouin optical correlation-domain reflectometry (BOCDR), the modulation amplitude of the light source, which is in inverse proportion to the spatial resolution, must be lower than a half of the Brillouin frequency shift due to the behavior of the beating noise between the reference light and the Rayleigh-scattered light. However, the modulation amplitude can be enhanced further by using a fiber under test (PUT) much shorter than the measurement range. In this paper, the expression for the limitation of the modulation amplitude is theoretically derived as a function of PUT length, measurement range, and measuring position; and it is experimentally verified. It is also theoretically shown that the spatial resolution of BOCDR is given by the same expression as that of Brillouin optical correlation-domain analysis (BOCDA).
