Abstract:Extending the range of distributed fiber sensors is one of the major challenges in the development of offshore wind turbines in order to monitor the transmitted electrical power inside the cables. Here we report a novel technique allowing to monitor the fiber up to 140 km, with a spatial resolution of 20 m in single-ended. Our method relies on the Brillouin anti-Stokes backscattering measurements that directly depend on the temperature along the optical fiber. The actual commercial devices have a range of 75 k… Show more
