Brillouin Scattering based Distributed Sensing of Temperature

Rajeswari Palaniswamy, N.Kumaran, Kunthala Raghuram

Abstract: We characterize the temperature dependent gain spectrum of Stimulated Brillouin scattering in an optical fiber by using a probe signal generated through carrier suppressed modulation. Probe amplification with pulsed pump is analyzed using these results.
