Distributed temperature sensor using Nd<sup>3+</sup>-doped optical fibre

We report the measurement of temperature distribution with an Nd<sup>3+</sup>-doped multimode optical fibre. By exploiting the temperature-sensitive absorption bands of the doped-glass core, temperature was measured to an accuracy of 2°C over the range -50°C to +100°C. A spatial resoluti...
