Measurement of Localized Heating in Fiber Optic Components with Millimeter Spatial Resolution
Short Summary
We present a novel, Rayleigh backscatter based method for ultra-high resolution distributed fiber-optic temperature sensing. This technique is applied to in-situ temperature monitoring for high-power amplifier module applications where the component itself is the sensor.
