It turns out to be very detrimental for long-range sensing as a result of the extended interaction length combined to the high pump peak pulse power. The conditions under which these effects limit the sensing range are determined and the modeling is very well confirmed by experimental results.Fibre opticsoptical fibre sensorstimulated Brillouin scatteringdistributed fibre sensornon-linear opticsstimulated Raman scatteringmodulation instabilityImpact of Raman scattering and modulation instability on the performances of Brillouin sensorstext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
