We introduce a linearly configured Brillouin optical correlation-domain analysis (LC-BOCDA) sensor that uses a dual-probe wave and control of the correlation order to enlarge the frequency modulation amplitude of the deployed optical signals. The system is able to compensate the signal distortions a...
