Abstract
This review describes state-of-the-art software and hardware methods for detecting the frequency shift of a stimulated and spontaneous Brillouin scattering spectrum for the needs of the distributed fiber-optic sensors and fiber-optic metrology industry. Current approaches to optical-fiber probing and signal detection are presented. Digital filtering methods that provide an increase in the signal-to-noise ratio of the spectrum are described. A review of Lorentzian curve fitting (LCF) spectrum approximation methods, correlation methods, artificial intelligence methods, and machine learning methods has been made.
