@article{10902/13434, year = {2017}, month = {4}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/13434}, abstract = {A high-temperature distributed sensor system based on a Brillouin optical time-domain analyzer and a multimode gold-coated fiber is presented in this paper. Distributed measurements of temperatures up to 600 °C are demonstrated with a temperature accuracy of about 10 °C. The system shows a consistent response for repetitive measurements, even considering increasing or decreasing temperature changes. This is the first time to the best of our knowledge that a gold-coated fiber is used for high-temperature distributed measurements in a Brillouin-based system. The proposed solution via the gold-coated fiber allows a feasible deployment in field applications such as industrial scenarios.}, organization = {This work was supported in part by the Spanish Government through Projects under Grant TEC2013-47264-C2-1-R and Grant TEC2016-76021-C2-2-R and in part by a Parliament of Cantabria postdoc Grant.}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.}, publisher = {IEEE Sensors Journal, 2017, 17(8), 2393-2397}, title = {Distributed high-temperature optical fiber sensor based on a Brillouin optical time domain analyzer and multimode gold-coated fiber}, author = {Ruiz Lombera, Rubén and Laarossi, Ismail and Rodríguez Cobo, Luis and Quintela Incera, María Ángeles and López Higuera, José Miguel and Mirapeix Serrano, Jesús María}, }
