A Raman backscatter distributed temperature sensor based on a self starting passively mode locked fibre ring laser

This paper reports on intracavity Raman backscatter measurements in it passively mode locked 1300m long fibre ring laser for distributed temperature sensing. The high intracavity power leads to a relatively large and easily detected Raman backscatter signal, whereas the short pulse duration (0.7ns)...
