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...
