Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) and Brillouin power change (BPC) and the core refractive index of the sensing fiber vary linearly with thermal formations in the medium. In this study, a novel Brillouin Coherent detection based distributed temperature and thermal strain sensing model depending on the core refractive index dependencies of BFS and BPC has been proposed. Using this model, core refractive index dependencies of BFS and BPC have been theoretically analyzed and corresponding simulations have been performed, accordingly. In this research, for 20 °C – 39.44 °C temperature range of the sensing fiber, refractive index of the fiber core changes from 1.44183 to 1.44202. Moreover, BFS and BPC values along the sensing fiber have been obtained as 43.80 MHz, 62.05 MHz and 66.92 MHz and 10.44 %, 13.04 % and 13.73 % versus core refractive index values of 1.44193, 1.44200 and 1.44202, respectively. Nevertheless, RMS error values of BFS and BPC have been computed for specific fiber regions along the sensing fiber and then using the interpolation method, linear and quadratic equations of the RMS curves have been derived. According to the results of the simulations and the equations, average values of the frequency and power RMS have been attained as ~ 1.60 MHz and ~ 0.26 %, respectively. Furthermore, quadratic equations related to the core refractive index dependencies of Brillouin parameters and the cubic equations relative to the temperature and thermal strain resolutions of the system have been produced by utilizing interpolation and curve fitting methods. Consequently, temperature and thermal strain resolutions of the system have been calculated as ~ 0.76 °C and ~ 46.80 μɛ for the entire length of the sensing fiber, respectively..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
