Accurate simulations of Tailored-Probe slope-assisted BOTDA may require the use of a higher-order equation for the acoustic field, especially for large variations of the fiber BFS. Successful application of this approach to various scenarios is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
