Abstract

The cross-correlation method has a low computational burden and is less sensitive to noise, but the method may have a long spectra measurement time, especially for Brillouin spectra with an asymmetric frequency sweep span. To improve the real-time performance of spectra measurement, the influence of the frequency sweep span, sweep span deviation, and frequency step on the error in the estimated Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) is systematically investigated. Based on the results, the optimal sweep span and its influencing factors are investigated. The results reveal that when the frequency sweep span is not wide enough and there is a sweep span deviation, the BFS error will not decrease with a decreasing frequency step. The error decreases rapidly with an increasing frequency sweep span, and then it tends to a stable value. The linewidth and sweep span deviation have an important effect on the optimal sweep span. An estimation formula for the optimal sweep span is presented, and an improved cross-correlation method is proposed based on it. The proposed method is compared with existing classic cross-correlation methods. The results reveal that the proposed method can ensure high BFS accuracy and decrease measurement time.
