摘要
We report on a Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer-based distributed temperature sensor utilizing a fiber Bragg grating notch filter to suppress the Rayleigh backscatter in order to separate the Brillouin signal. The Brillouin light path is thus subject to minimum attenuation and is frequency independent. A 2-m spatial resolution is achieved over a range of 25 km with the temperature resolution rising from 1 degreesC at the near end to 7 degreesC at the far end in a measurement time of 10 min, This is reduced to < 1 degreesC over similar to 20 km if the measurement time is increased to 180 min.
