150km range distributed temperature sensor based on coherent detection of spontaneous Brillouin backscatter and in line Raman amplification

We report an extended range distributed temperature sensor based on coherent detection of the frequency shift of the spontaneous Brillouin backscatter combined with Raman amplification. The Raman amplification was achieved within the sensing fibre using either co- or counter-propagating Raman pump w...
