Abstract
A double-pass configured all-fibre Mach-Zehnder interferometric optica l filter has been developed and used in a distributed fibre optic sens or for separation of Rayleigh and Brillouin signals. Its superior perf ormance over a single-pass all-fibre Mach-Zehnder interferometer is hi ghlighted by its 15dB improved rejection of the Rayleigh signal and co mparable throughput.
