Abstract:A distributed temperature sensing system based on few-mode fiber is proposed, the Brillouin scattering spectrum and temperature sensing characteristics of few-mode fiber are theoretically analyzed. A single-ended Brillouin optical time-domain analysis system is constructed by taking the Fresnel reflected light generated at the end of the fiber as the detection light, and the temperature sensing and measurement of step index two-mode fiber is realized. The experimental results show that the Brillouin frequency shift of step index two-mode fiber has a good linear relationship with temperature, and a spatial resolution of 4.5m and a temperature measurement accuracy of 6.29 ℃ are achieved on a 1 km fiber.
