Abstract:This work makes an overview of Distribute Brillouin Sensors (DBS) with Optical Fiber (OF) aiming specifically at their applications for the temperatures and strain measuring in different structures. Firstly, Brillouin Scattering (BS) effect of light waves through OF, Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) Stokes and anti-Stokes are described. It continues with the DBS networks presentation, the studied methods and techniques, inventorying their main practical applications. It ends with a comparative presentation of the basic parameters for the presented different techniques followed by conclusions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
