Distributed temperature sensing in optical fibers based on Raman scattering: theory and applications

Distributed temperature sensing (DTS) based on Raman scattering in optical fibers gains more importance in several applications, due to its accuracy, immunity to electromagnetic interference and corrosion, durability, low cost and availability. DTS systems are configured differently depending on the environment of application, and uses Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) or Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) for data analyzes. This study features a theoretical background and an introduction to DTS systems’ configurations and applications.
