Field tests of distributed temperature and strain measurement for smart structures

Thévenaz, Luc ; Facchini, M. ; Fellay, A. ; Nikles, M. ; Robert, P.

Brillouin time-domain analysis in optical fibres is a novel technique making possible a distributed measurement of temperature and strain over long distance and will deeply modify our view about monitoring large structures, such as dam, bridges, tunnels and pipelines
