Abstract

A new distributed temperature sensor based on stimulate Brillouin scattering (SBS) is designed by filling alcohol in a photonic crystal fiber (PCF). Since the refractive index of alcohol varies with temperature, which results in the effective mode area of the PCF varying with temperature, the output power of a pulse in fiber varies with temperature. In order to achieve a precision of 1°C for the new design, the dynamic range of power measurement equipment is only 42 dB, which is far less than the dynamic range of the frequency measurement equipment of the traditional measurement system. Some influence factors in the new system are analyzed.
