Distributed Brillouin sensing is a very useful technique to measure fluctuations of temperature along an optical fiber. However, the later measurement can be influenced by the humidity on the fiber; therefore its effect must be minimized. Because the aforementioned, the Brillouin frequency changes with the humidity. Thus, for a given temperature on a distributed fiber sensor such variations have been investigated. The experimental results obtained using three different types of single mode fibers with 1000m length, at 25°C are reported in this paper.}, organization = {The authors acknowledge the support from the Spanish Government under the research projects TEC2004-05936-CO2-02 and TEC2007-67987-C02-01.}, publisher = {SPIE Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers}, publisher = {Proceedings of SPIE, 2008, vol. 7004, 70044W}, publisher = {19th International Conference on Optical Fibre Sensors, Perth, 2008}, title = {Effect of humidity on optical fiber distributed sensor based on Brillouin scattering}, author = {Galíndez Jamioy, Carlos Augusto and Madruga Saavedra, Francisco Javier and Lomer Barboza, Mauro Matías and Cobo García, Adolfo and López Higuera, José Miguel}, }
