Abstract
Subpeaks in the Brillouin loss spectra of distributed fiber-optic sensors were observed for what is believed to be the first time and studied. We discovered that the Fourier spectrum of the pulsed signal and the off-resonance oscillation both contributed to subpeaks. The off-resonance oscillation at frequency |nu - nu_B| is the oscillation in the Brillouin time domain when beat frequency nu of the two counterpropagating laser beams does not match local Brillouin frequency nu_B. This study is important in differentiating the subpeaks from actual strain-temperature peaks.
