Raman-Assisted Brillouin Distributed Temperature Sensor Over 100 km Featuring 2 m Resolution and 1.2 C Uncertainty

Raman assistance in distributed sensors based on Brillouin optical time-domain analysis can significantly extend the measurement distance. In this paper, we have developed a 2 m resolution long-range Brillouin distributed sensor that reaches 100 km using first-order Raman assistance. The estimated u...

Sumario:Raman assistance in distributed sensors based on Brillouin optical time-domain analysis can significantly extend the measurement distance. In this paper, we have developed a 2 m resolution long-range Brillouin distributed sensor that reaches 100 km using first-order Raman assistance. The estimated uncertainty in temperature discrimination is 1.2 °C, even for the position of worst contrast. The parameters used in the experiment are supported by a simple analytical model of the required values, considering the main limitations of the setup.
