We demonstrate a Brillouin optical time domain analysis sensor based on a phase-modulated probe wave and RF demodulation that provides measurements tolerant to frequency-dependent variations of the pump pulse power induced by non-local effects. The tolerance to non-local effects is based on the special characteristics of the detection process, which provides an RF phase-shift signal that is largely independent of the Brillouin gain magnitude. Proof-of-concept experiments performed over a 20-km-long fiber demonstrate that the measured RF phase-shift spectrum remains unaltered for large frequency-dependent deformations of the pump pulse power. Therefore, it allows the use of a higher optical power of the probe wave, which leads to an enhancement of the detected signal to noise ratio. This can be used to extend the sensing distance, to improve the accuracy of the Brillouin frequency shift measurements, and to reduce the measurement time.
