100km distributed temperature sensor based on coherent detection of spontaneous Brillouin backscatter
100km distributed temperature sensor based on coherent detection of spontaneous Brillouin backscatter
We report the longest sensing range of a distributed temperature change measurement along an optical sensing fibre with single-ended access. The technique is based on spontaneous Brillouin scattering and microwave heterodyne detection. The Brillouin frequency shift was used to obtain the distributed temperature change at a range of 100 km with a temperature error of less than 8 °C, and a spatial resolution of 50 m.

Abstract
We report the longest sensing range of a distributed temperature change measurement along an optical sensing fibre with single-ended access. The technique is based on spontaneous Brillouin scattering and microwave heterodyne detection. The Brillouin frequency shift was used to obtain the distributed temperature change at a range of 100 km with a temperature error of less than 8 °C, and a spatial resolution of 50 m.
