Abstract

We propose a novel linewidth-tolerant OFDR system that eliminates the need for separate auxiliary interferometers through an innovative embedded-referencing phase noise compensation scheme. By implementing a customized optical path design, our system achieves simultaneous acquisition of both laser phase noise (LPN) and sensing signals through a single receiver. Building on this architecture, we demonstrate a modified deskew filter method that utilizes the embedded reference within the acquired sensing signal to enable precise phase noise compensation. Experimental results show the system achieves 13.8 mm spatial resolution over a 1.9 km sensing distance using only a 200 kHz-linewidth tunable laser source and a single integrated coherent receiver.
