WHY DISTRIBUTED TEMPERTURE SENSING
• Large number of sensors are needed
• Exact sensor location is unclear
• Electrical temperature monitoring is impractical
• Electrical temperature monitoring is unsafe

• Standard MM 50/125, 62.5/125 or SM fiber
• Entire fiber is the sensing unit – up to 1000 zones per fiber channel
• Up to 30 Km MM, 40 Km SM - real time monitoring thru entire length
• Temperature rise of 0.5ºC
• Spatial Resolution down to 50 cm
• Spatial Interval down to 15 cm

RAMAN – DTS CONCEPT
• Temperature measurement is based on Raman Scattering: Inelastic collisions of photons
with atoms or molecules along the optical fiber. If photon loses energy to the wall, the
scattered wavelength is longer (Stokes). If a scattered photon gains energy from the
wall, the energy is larger therefore the wavelength is shorter (Anti-Stokes)
• Raman wavelengths are predictable and symmetric
• Stokes is Quasi-Temperature Insensitive
• Anti-Stokes is Temperature Sensitive
Peak Increases as Temperature Increases Higher Oscillation Energy
• Temperature calculated by Comparing Stokes to Anti-Stokes

OFDR VS. OTDR
Optical Time Domain Reflectometry = Pulsed Laser
Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry = Frequency sweep of
continuous laser light
Parameters OTDR OFDR
Pulse Broadening 50 ns @ 2 Km can turn into 70 ns
pulse at 25 Km Location
Uncertainty
Operation without pulses No pulse
broadening. Operation in Frequency
Domain. No Location Uncertainty.
Reliability Pulsed Laser Light = Wear on laser
electronics Laser wear
No Pulses = No Laser wear Better
Reliability (MTBF > 33 years)
Dead Zones Poor terminations with reflections at
splice ends can create dead zones of
10’s of meters. Will not detect
temperature and spatial resolution in
those regions
Not affected by poor terminations and
splices. Temperature and location
always exact.

LIOS DTS uses Raman Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR)
• Allows for a high and constant spatial resolution over long distances
• Improves long term reliability
OFDR Approach:
• Continuous wave operation
• Backscatter signal is measured in a complex fashion as a function of the modulation frequency
SENSING TECHNOLOGY
• Laser Light is FM modulated
• Controller receives # of
backscattered frequency data
• Measurement of backscattering in
the frequency domain
• Fourier Transformation to time
domain
• Intensity of Stokes & Anti-Stokes
signal is directly coupled to the
intensity of the lattice oscillation
i.e. to the local temperature
• Calculation of the temperature
profile using the internal fiber
(~150 m) as reference.
