A novel optical time domain reflectometry technique is described which uses the Raman Spectrum of backscattered light to give the temperature distribution along a conventional optical fibre. Temperatures from 77K to 800K can be measured.Spatial resolution is better than 3m, with sensor lengths of up to lkm.
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.
