Abstract

An optical time-domain reflectometry method of sensing respective values of a physical parameter, such as temperature, at different locations along an optical fibre, in which back-scattered optical radiation is used to produce output signals indicative of the values being sensed, is improved by employing optical filtering means to ensure that the back-scattered radiation used is restricted to a preselected single spectral line resulting from inelastic scattering in the fibre, for example one of the Anti-Stokes Raman lines, or to two mutually adjacent such lines.
