The composite BGS is thus reconstructed in terms of extracted components. It is validated that the method is successful in determining every level of stress peaks and heights embedded in composite BGS.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNonlinear opticsBrillouin scatteringOptical fiberFiber optic sensorExtracting hidden stress components of gain spectrum in distributed Brillouin sensingArticle10.1016/j.yofte.2021.102621652-s2.0-85108694229Q1WOS:000692122700006Q2
