Abstract

We studied Brillouin gain spectrum characteristics in single-mode optical fibers with different refractive index profiles to realize temperature-corrected distributed strain measurement. The measured Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) features much stronger dependence on the longitudinal strain in the sensor fiber than on the temperature distribution along the fiber optic sensor. By detection of slight structural changes in monitored civil structures, such as dams, pipelines and tunnels, the influence of temperature on the measured BFS cannot be neglected.
