6 Measuring system. Raman effect. For temperature sensing only. Intensity change method. Uses multimode fibres. Cost effective solution for distances up to 8-10 km. Brillouin effect. For Temperature and strain sensing. Frequency shift method. Uses singlemode fibres. For distances up to 30 km and more. Can be combined with singlemode communication transmission. 6 Basic_Sensing_e.ppt / ad

7 Raman vs. Brillouin sensing techniques. Raman-based temperature sensing. Raman scattering is sensitive only to temperature. Low scattering intensity. Requires multimode optical fibers (high numerical apperture). Very efficient for distances up to 8km distance. Issues related to intensity-based techniques. Availability of multimode fibers? 7 Basic_Sensing_e.ppt / ad

8 Raman vs. Brillouin sensing techniques. Brillouin-based temperature/strain sensing. Brillouin scattering is sensitive to strain and temperature. Possibilities to be stimulated through dedicated optical processing. Requires singlemode optical fibers. Offers greater distance range (up to more than 30km). Advantage of frequency-based measurement technique. More advanced measurement system. Compatibility with singlemode fiber communication system (sensing can be multiplexed with data transmission. 8 Basic_Sensing_e.ppt / ad

9 An optical fiber as a sensing element. The DTS is based on the measurement of the Brillouin Scattering characteristics. Natural scattering process associated to the propagation of light. Intrisic properties of the fiber. Interaction of light with the propagation medium. Attributed to the presence of inhomogeneities associated to acoustic waves in the silica (acoustic phonons). Léon Brillouin ( ): French physicist Léon Brillouin pioneered the field of quantum mecanics and solid state physics. He was the first to describe the properties of thermally excited acoustic waves in solids and liquids and their interactions with light, leading to the scattering of light. 9 Basic_Sensing_e.ppt / ad
