Brillouin based OTDR with measurement range of 85 km using combined EDFA and Raman amplification

Abstract

We report the enhanced performance of an 85 km single-ended distributed Brillouin based temperature sensor using an EDFA and Raman amplification. A temperature resolution of 3°C and spatial resolution of 20 m was achieved.
