Abstract
We present a distributed fiber optic sensor that discriminates between temperature and strain along a 500 m fiber with 5 m spatial resolution and a quasi-static temperature (strain) resolution of 15 mK (130 nɛ). The technique relies on a slope-assisted Brillouin system that combines gain and phase information from both the Stokes and anti-Stokes components and a frequency-scanning Rayleigh system that measures the shift in the Rayleigh backscattered spectrum. Uniquely, this hybrid approach enables dynamic measurements with a bandwidth of 1.7 kHz and temperature (strain) noise spectral density of 0.52 mK/√Hz (4.6 nɛ/√Hz), while suppressing cross sensitivity by 25 dB.
